A new home for wellness has appeared in Dubai Marina. Called Eclipse, the new centre offers a range of unique fitness classes, from animal flow to yoga dance.

3. Soak up the sun in style

Enjoy a day at the pool in one of Azure Beach’s stunning cabanas. There are six to choose from, but each private area has its own plunge pool, so you and your friends can relax in peace.

Palm Jumeirah’s The Pointe has welcomed a new Japanese concept to its ever growing offering of dining and nightlife venues. Aka is described as an immersive lounge, which will host an exciting line-up of theatrical live performers. Although live entertainment is on hold for the moment, once it’s safe to do so, the venue will be launching a unique show for diners. Aka promises to ‘wow guests with an edgy, yet opulent sense of theatre through immersive live performances’.
