Our guests descended to The First Collection at Jumeirah Village Circle on September 3 and were treated to a staycation with a number of fun activations.
To get our guest’s brunch ready, we had Bristles and Mane offering free beard trims that had the gents lining up while Cutting Edge Salon glammed up the women with braids, shimmer strands and some pretty nail art. Glitterbox added that touch of sparkle to complete the look while Henna by Z got creative with non-permanent tattoo art.
Rayya Wellness provided mini-massages and guests (and half of Team What’s On) went shopping for sustainable personal care and grooming products at JR Organics. And of course, we had our brilliant friends at TEPFactor there where guests had to use their brains and skills to complete fun tasks.
It was on to brunch at Village Bistro from here where guests enjoyed authentic Southern French cuisine and grills from the live BBQ. They were also treated by Sugargram and Nicecream to some yummy bite-sized cupcakes and healthy ice creams.
The after brunch party took place at Sante Ria Bar where sips were enjoyed and a few of our guests couldn’t resist getting snapped by the brilliant team from Fame Spin.
After a night’s rest in the cosy rooms, guests refuelled the next morning with breakfast and showed off their creative side with our creative friends from ARTFem designing their very own tote bags. For guests looking for a challenge, BoxedIn provided the phenomenal thrill of an escape room challenge, in an itty bitty space. Others relaxed poolside while enjoying refreshing sips.
Sounds like a fun weekend right? The next What’s On Dubai Lock In is going to be announced very (very) soon, so make sure you keep your eyes glued to our social channels so you don’t miss out.
Here’s a video compilation of some of the highlights of this incredible weekend staycation at The First Collection at Jumeirah Village Circle.
