How one Privilee Member is spending the Eid long weekend across Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Out-of-office looks different for everyone this Eid. If your head’s been a little full lately, we hope the long weekend brings a few good moments along the way.
For Katie, Marketing Director at Privilee, weekends are often about finding the right balance between family time, movement, and a few slower moments in between.

Privilee makes it easy to find the balance – fun for my little boy, calm for us, and always something new to enjoy together.
Here’s what Katie has planned for the long weekend...
Starting the day at RAISE Fitness & Wellness
Katie likes to begin the day with movement, especially somewhere that feels a little removed from the pace of the city.
At RAISE Fitness & Wellness, the space blends cardio and strength training with a quieter setting away from Dubai’s larger gyms. It’s an easy place to move at your own pace before the rest of the weekend plans begin.
Katie loves: The quiet open gym and outdoor functional training area overlooking the water.
📍 Jumeirah Islands, Dubai
A slower afternoon at Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk
Later in the day, Katie often looks for a quieter moment to slow down, with some tanning on the side...
The pool at Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk offers exactly that – a comfortable place to spend a few hours away from the pace of the city. It’s a simple reset before the next part of the day.
Katie loves: Reading a good book by the pool.
📍 Dubai Healthcare City, Dubai
Family time at The WB Abu Dhabi
For family days, Katie heads to The WB Abu Dhabi on Yas Island.
The hotel is built for families, with relaxed pools, playful spaces for kids, and plenty happening across the property.
Katie loves: Meeting Warner Bros. characters around the hotel – a favourite for my son.
📍 Yas Island, Abu Dhabi
Ending the day at Trader Vic’s
Evenings are often about good food and an easy setting to settle into.
At Trader Vic’s, tropical interiors and flavours, and a globally inspired menu make it an easy place to spend a relaxed evening with family or friends.
It’s the kind of spot that works well for golden hour and long dinners that stretch into the night.
Katie loves: The fun interiors and chilled vibe.
