From innovative culinary ventures and immersive artistic pop-ups to transformative wellness journeys, this week's roundup highlights the most exciting happenings across Dubai and beyond. Whether you're seeking a novel dining destination, an outlet for your creative spirit, or a fresh approach to personal well-being, prepare to explore a world of possibilities.
Empowering Through Movement: Free Self-Defence Retreats
GymNation is presenting a unique Self-Defence Retreat this winter, offering a novel approach to personal wellness that harmoniously blends fitness, mindfulness, and practical self-protection skills. While the UAE is renowned for its safety, evolving global discussions surrounding personal security have inspired this initiative. It reframes self-defence not merely as a response to potential threats, but as a powerful pathway to building self-confidence and awareness.
Under the expert guidance of UAE-based professional Jason Woodham, participants will engage in hands-on sessions designed to foster a sense of empowerment, strength, and heightened situational awareness. This initiative is completely free of charge and welcomes both residents and visitors to the Emirates. The programme is scheduled to run every Saturday morning at 8:00 AM until December 20th, taking place at GymNation Al Quoz.
A Taste of the Aegean: Introducing Son of a Fish
Dubai Harbour’s newly established Harbour House district welcomes Son of a Fish, a contemporary establishment poised to redefine the Greek dining experience. Drawing inspiration from the chic Athenian Riviera, this culinary concept, brought to life by AlphaMind, masterfully fuses the relaxed ambiance of Mediterranean lunches with the vibrant energy of evening gatherings. The menu features an array of authentic Greek dishes, thoughtfully reimagined with a modern twist, encompassing everything from the freshest seafood catches to an assortment of delectable mezze perfect for sharing, complemented by a curated selection of signature beverages.
The restaurant's interior design mirrors the breezy, Aegean aesthetic, boasting expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and a terrace overlooking the marina. This space transitions seamlessly from tranquil daytime relaxation to dynamic, music-infused evenings, powered by Modern Aegean Electronica and sets spun by live DJs. Situated adjacent to Bar du Port, Son of a Fish proudly stands as the inaugural homegrown restaurant within this exciting new seafront hub, now open daily for both lunch and dinner service.
Elevating Well-being: The New Talise Spa Experience
Talise Spa, located at the iconic Jumeirah Beach Hotel, has unveiled an exquisite new wellness menu featuring premium ingredients from Ground and Swissline. A standout offering is the 90-minute Swiss Lifting Facial, a results-driven treatment designed to deliver tangible improvements. Priced from AED 1,350, this facial meticulously targets key concerns such as loss of elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles, sunspots, dehydration, and overall dullness.
The treatment employs Swissline’s advanced Cell Shock formulas, which are rich in Growth Factors and Peptides. By integrating an active lifting massage with high-performance serums, the facial works comprehensively across the face, neck, and décolleté. Its dual action aims to tone facial muscles, significantly enhance moisture retention, and reinforce the skin’s structural integrity. This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing muscle weakness, potentially resulting from prolonged use of botulinum treatments. The new menu is thoughtfully structured around three core wellness pillars:
- Performance: This pillar focuses on advanced, results-oriented therapies designed for maximum efficacy.
- Empower: This section champions natural formulations and restorative techniques that promote holistic well-being.
- Intention: Centred on mindful rest and personalised relaxation, this pillar encourages deep rejuvenation and self-connection.
