The weather

The weather

The question of ‘whether or not the UAE’s weather is a world beater’ is an unsettled debate, even within its own expat community. Some, it turns out, do not like it hot. But for me, it was one of the key attractions that lured me away from my country of birth. The year-round sunshine is essentially therapy for the grey cloud trauma of my formative years. It also comes in, incredibly handy if you’re planning a picnic, some alfresco gain-getting, a round of golf, a day at the beach, a terrace event, or even just when deciding what to wear on a given day. There’s no need to consult and cross-correlate multiple weather apps for 99 per cent of the year. You can be pretty certain what you’re going to get. And isn’t life always better in the sun?

Located at the dreamy One&Only Royal Mirage, Drift Beach Dubai now has the unmistakable Missoni touch everywhere you look—from chic daybeds and parasols to the stylish cabanas and poolside details. Expect a fresh colour scheme of deep blues, turquoise, and pops of emerald green that’s pure Missoni magic.

Drift Beach has long been popular with Dubai’s IT-crowd and for good reason. With amazing sea views, a luxe infinity pool and beautiful restaurant, it’s certainly a wow-worthy place to spend your weekend.

For a day of sun, sea, and sophistication, slip into your finest beachwear and add a designer pool day escape to your weekend itinerary. Day passes are priced at Dhs150 (non-redeemable) on weekdays and Dhs200 (non-redeemable) on weekends.

Meeting the girls? Every Tuesday, ladies can enjoy a welcome drink and access to a sun lounger for only Dhs99. Drift also has a second ladies’ day on Thursdays where you can enjoy all-day pool and beach access with a glass of Champagne on arrival for Dhs99.

Sea you there?
