Here’s a great Dubai deal to see you through the hot months: the Shangri-La on Sheikh Zayed Road is offering 50% off all drinks from now until September 15. From fresh smoothies by the pool, to coffee in the lobby lounge and drinks at the bar – everything will be half price.

That’s right – it doesn’t matter the time of day, or the venue, or your choice of tipple – you’ll find half-price drinks across the hotel for four months (there are no tricky T&Cs here – the only thing is that you can’t combine the 50% drinks with another discount).

This means you can have an affordable glass of wine with excellent Vietnamese food at the lovely Hoi An (or try the fine Chinese cuisine at Shang Palace)…

…You could pop into the Balcony Bar for a brew…

…Sip your way through all the tea and coffee you’d like at Dunes Cafe (which will be open during the daytime over Ramadan)…

…Go to iKandy for cheap drinks from now until Ramadan (it will be closed for summer from the start of Ramadan onwards)…

…Or you can just sit by the pool and sip chilled drinks…

Ooh, and top tip: they also have a massage deal running over the month of Ramadan which means you can have an hour-long Argan oil massage for Dhs280 (it’s Dhs385 for 90 minutes). Book the massage and you can use the pool, sauna and steam facilities all day.

So yes, you could effectively have a Dhs60 massage (considering pool access on the weekends is normally Dhs220) and then sit by this pool and sip half-price smoothies. Sign us up. 

Speaking of winning at life, how amazing is the view from this suite’s balcony?
