6 of the hottest ways to keep cool in Dubai this summer

Tis’ the ski-son

We know this is a super obvious one, but it does the job, and it’s fun for the whole family. Ski Dubai is arguably one of the coolest attractions in the city, spanning 22,500 square meters in Mall of the Emirates. Inside you’ll find loads of activities, including a ski slope for skiers and snowboarders, a Snow Park’, Zorb balls, penguin encounters, and more. Costs vary on your choice of activity, and you can check out the prices here. At Ski Academy, you can even enhance your snow skills with instructors. Find out more here.

Skate around at Dubai Ice Rink

This is yet another fun indoor activity in Dubai that will certainly cool you down. At Dubai Ice Rink, you can swoop and glide (or try to at least) in temperatures averaging -5 degrees Celsius. There are daily sessions for all levels – so don’t be shy if you spend most of your time sprawled out on the ice. There are private lessons available for six-year-olds and above, too. Book here.

Immerse yourself in a -110°C ice-cold chamber

Cryotherapy has been a treatment of choice for athletes and wellbeing seekers for a while now, and at Resync, the city’s most luxe studio, you too can freeze your assets. Men can go dressed in shorts, and ladies, in shorts or leggings and a crop top. And Resync will take care of the rest. In short, your experience will see you fully enclosed in a cryo chamber where temperatures peak at a numbing -110 degrees. Just three minutes inside its frosty chamber is enough to release endorphins, create a sense of euphoria, heal sore muscles, even your skin tone, and boost metabolism. Book here and you can check out the pricing here.

Revel in an enchanting snow room at Talise Spa

Did you know Talise Spa at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is home to a Snow Room? No, it’s not just a fancy name for a treatment room. It’s a room with snow. For a full spa day for Dhs350, you will be able to gain access to several facilities at the spa including the pool, sauna, steam room, and more, including the Snow Room. What you need to do is head to the hot steam bath or the sauna to open your pores (and sweat it out) and then head to the Snow Room to close your pores. And of course, you can expect it to be oh-so-cold.

Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, Talise Spa, Crescent Road, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, Dhs350 per person, open daily 9am to 9.30pm, Tel: (0)4 453 0456. jumeirah.com

Take the cold water dunk

Beit Sisu is a private wellness club in Dubai Media City that offers contrast therapy. It is a dedicated space for those seeking to reset, refocus and restart; and features cold plunge baths along with a low-EMF infrared sauna equipped with red light therapy. The water is set to three to eight degrees Celsius which help boost circulation, reduce muscle soreness, improve quality of sleep, and help mental resilience. After the cold plunge, you head to the sauna for a quick warm-up session. And you repeat the process. You can read our review here.
