With a new week comes a whole host of new things to do, whether you’re looking for ladies’ nights, yoga classes or cool pool days, we’ve got you covered.

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

Monday June 13

Check out a brand new restaurant in JGE

The second Dubai outpost of Bussola opens today, Monday June 13, inside the clubhouse at Jumeirah Golf Estates. For those unfamiliar, Bussola is a relaxed lounge, casual pizzeria and chic Italian restaurant that’s long drawn Dubai diners for lazy lunches, pretty sundowners and alfresco evenings. Its menu of Italian classics ranges from seafood inspired by the southern Riviera, to fresh salads, homemade pastas and indulgent desserts.

Bussola, Jumeirah Golf Estates, 12pm to 3pm and 6pm to 11pm weekdays, 12pm to 4pm and 6pm to 11pm weekends. Tel: (0)4 586 7760, dubaigolf.com

Kick off the week with a fun-filled pool day

With a boho-chic aesthetic, cabana-lined pool and plush sunbeds on the gorgeous white sand, a pool day at White Beach is the perfect way to stay cool this summer. Dip between a shaded lounger and the temperature-controlled pool, and sip on perfectly blended froses as you work on your tan. Mid-week loungers are Dhs200 but you’ll get Dhs100 of that back to spend on food and drink, with tasty dishes like grilled octopus, burrata pizzetta and lobster linguine available to order a la carte.

White Beach, Atlantis The Palm, Palm Jumeirah, 10am to 8pm daily. Tel: (0)4 426 2626, @whitebeach

Check out a burlesque night at a new secret bar

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a secret bar? There’s something especially exciting about walking through a hidden door to discover an exclusive party happening behind it. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Soho Garden Palm Jumeirah, as Green Room has opened its (secret) doors. For something a little more entertaining, get ready for a burlesque night every Thursday, Friday, Saturday. With live singer Ayesha Reid and her talented dance group, guests will enjoy dinner and a show with dishes from the a la carte menu.
