Bahrain This Month’s Muna ‘Mimi’ Yousef experienced it firsthand with the finest of Dubai’s hotel stays, gastronomy experiences and activities. Curating an exceptional line-up of thousands of offers and sensational things to do, see and explore, Dubai is gearing up to transform this summer with pocket-friendly prices and great value for all . Until September 1, the iconic Dubai Summer Surprises offers you an opportunity to enjoy electrifying events, incredible shopping experiences, alongside prizes, diverse gastronomy and hotel and attraction offers. Here are my top-recommended experiences: Anantara The Palm Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort offers travellers an urban escape in Thai-inspired surrounds on the iconic Palm Jumeirah. With lush greenery, extensive pools, beautiful beaches and warm hospitality, this was a slice of paradise. Guests can retreat to 293 elegantly designed rooms and villas, including the only Over Water Villas in the United Arab Emirates. All rooms overlook serene lagoons and beautifully landscaped gardens. For uninterrupted ocean views and access, 15 Beach Pool Villas boast private infinity pools and rich, earthy décor reflecting the desert location. I stayed at the villas with direct beach access and to step out of your villa and take a dip in the sea was an experience on its own. Anantara World Islands Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort offers a true private island experience just offshore and, naturally, required a speedboat ride from its sister property, Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort. 70 guest rooms, suites and villas unfold across 13 different categories, all marrying island luxury with contemporary comforts, and the guest-only private beach is just steps away. The unique setting of the World Islands lends itself to dramatic dining moments, and the culinary team are dedicated to impress. The pristine island offers fantastic opportunities for enjoyment on sand or in sea. Luxurious spa treatments and the harmony of nature make this private experience one to remember. Co Chocolat Chocolate lovers will love this experience. It was here that I, too, got to be a chocolatier! Co-founders Luchie and Iman are certified ‘Cacao Doctors’ who continue to empower farmers through healthy chocolates with their farm-to-table factory is in Warsan 3, Dubai. Co Chocolat offers interactive factory tours and chocolate-making experiences specialised for kids, adults, and wouldbe chocolatiers. These experiences allow attendees to go home with chocolate creations that they have chosen the ingredients for, designed the package of and named. Co Chocolat also offers several healthy chocolates with very low sugar content and vegan chocolates too! The Lana Recognised as the world’s best pastry chef, Angelo Musa is bringing his award-winning creations all the way from France to Dubai with his F&B concept, The Gallery located in Dorchester Collection’s newest property, The Lana. Drawing inspiration from the timeless practice of British culture, The Gallery also offers an ever-sophisticated Afternoon Tea experience which we truly enjoyed. This fantastic spread included a wide range of pastries, delicious scones and clotted cream from England aside from soothing teas brewed by tea sommeliers. It was practically a banquet feast that we enjoyed in a time of tranquility.
