Need plans this week? Start here

In a city like Dubai, you’re never far from your next plan. Whether you’re looking to switch up your workout, head out for Ladies’ Night, try a new lunch spot or sip your way through a matcha menu, there’s something for every pace, every vibe and every group – or even just yourself. Here are six things to do in Dubai this week.

Start your day with a workout

If Reformer Pilates is your workout of choice, ReFIVE at FIVE Palm Jumeirah is worth adding to your list. Small classes and expert-led sessions focus on building strength and flexibility. Make a morning of it with the Sculpt, Melt & Restore package, pairing a 50-minute Reformer class with a muscle-melting massage, plus access to the spa pool and steam. There’s also Soulful Sundays, combining Pilates with ice baths and recovery, while Detox Me Café serves matcha, protein shakes and cold-pressed juices afterwards.

Where: FIVE Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jumeirah

When: Monday to Friday, 8am to 7pm; Saturdays 8am to 11am; Sundays 9am to 6pm

Cost: Dhs165 per class

Enjoy an Italian-style evening out

Whether you’re meeting friends after work or planning a date night, Arrogante’s new apericena menu is worth adding to your list. Inspired by the Italian tradition of turning aperitivo into dinner, the experience includes your choice of two carpacci and two risotti, served daily from 5pm.

Where: Arrogante, Address Residences, Opera District, Downtown Dubai

When: Tuesday to Sunday, 5pm to 11pm

Cost: Dhs159 per person
