A new beach club, live music nights and a Love Island screening party…

It’s a new week, and if you’re feeling like your calendar is looking a little lackluster, you’re in the right place. Whether it’s a ladies’ night, taco Tuesday or half price menu, there’s plenty of dining deals, then we’ve found family-friendly playgrounds, a new beach club, plus a live music night.

Here are the best things to do in Dubai this week.

Monday June 6

Soak up the sun at a brand new beach club

Those that like to spend sun-soaked days with their toes in the sand have a brand new beach club to check out. Perch up on the plush fabric sun loungers that stretch across the sand to the sea, or laze poolside on one of the cream loungers that line the pool edge. Beach entry prices will be priced at Dhs200 for weekdays and Dhs250 on weekends for the summer, which you’ll get back in full to spend on food and drink.

Playa Beach Club, Palm West Beach, 10am to 2am daily. @playadubai

Tuck into a brand new menu with 50 per cent off

Ciao Bella on the ground floor of Media One Hotel might be your go-to for quick coffees or a healthy business lunch, but here’s a reason to head over for dinner: Sicilian chef Anna Alaimo has introduced a new menu, and there’s 50 per cent off for the entire month of June when you dine on a weeknight from 6pm to 11pm, or on weekends from 7pm to 11pm. On the menu, expect dishes including Caprese con burrata, orata alla griglia (seabream fillet) and  gnocchi al funghi.

The UK’s biggest dating show returns to screens this week, and The Cheeky Camel in JLT is screening the first episode.
