Whether you’re spending summer in the UAE by choice or by chance, this is your sign to make it count. From poolside hangs to low-effort workouts, girls’ nights, and self-care rituals, here’s how to keep your cool, move with intention, and feel good doing it.
Breasy x Privilee Run Club
Senior Content Writer

"Run Club has legit become my weekly highlight. As it gets hotter and the humidity takes over, the post-run cold plunge afterwards is what keeps me going and showing up!"
Join the weekly Breasy x Privilee Run Club – every Tuesday at 6:30am, Palm West Beach. Good vibes, better views and zero pressure, just show up and move. When the heat hits? The optional recovery is what seals it: beachside breathwork, mobility, and a cold plunge that resets your whole day. Privilee Members get access to the full recovery package for just AED 75. Worth waking up for.
Book your spot through your Privilee app.
Fitness classes around the city
Senior Membership Executive
Ella
"Summer is always my time to explore different studios. My personal faves are boxing at Lucky Punch or a serious mat Pilates burn at Balans Studios or Vybe Pilates."
When the heat hits, it’s all about staying cool indoors, but that doesn’t mean compromising on the vibe. Think high-performance spaces with oh-so-aesthetic energy. Whether you're into sculpting, sweating or letting off steam, Privilee gives you access to the studios that bring the burn and the lighting. Bonus: most are dangerously close to a good iced coffee or post-class matcha. Your feed (and your routine) will thank you.
RAISE Fitness & Wellness, Jumeirah Islands
Senior Regional Manager

"I love training at RAISE all year round. The equipment is top-notch, it’s super convenient for work, and the outdoor space with the lake view is such a bonus. It’s bright, open, and the team always makes you feel welcome."
Aesthetically on point and functionally flawless, RAISE is one of those gyms that just gets it right, even at 6am. Natural light, next-level kit, and an open-plan layout that feels more like a lifestyle space than a standard gym floor. You’ll want to linger, even after your workout’s done.
Girls' Night at The Spaniel
Business Associate
Aysha
"My new favourite spot! Such a gorgeous venue with great food and even better drinks - perfect for date night or drinks with the girls. "
This one’s got ‘finally made it out of the group chat’ written all over it. The Spaniel brings elevated British fare, cocktails with a twist and an atmosphere that hits just right – whether it’s Thursday catch-ups, date night, or Saturday night brunch. Gather the gurrrls and make it a thing.

Pool days and city escapes
Product Manager
Sara
"I love escaping the city on weekends, even in the heat. As long as there's a pool to cool off in and space to tan, I'm there! Weekends at Terra Solis always mean all-day sun, great food, and a DJ that keeps the vibe up."
Long, lazy pool days? Still the ultimate way to cool off. Terra Solis nails the weekend formula – music, sun and space to stretch out from AM to golden hour. Want to switch things up? BCH:CLB is all sleek poolside lounging with sea views, Vida Creek Beach Hotel brings slow, waterfront energy, and The 305 delivers a hit of Miami cool – no passport needed.
