Business Associate
Aysha
Beachside daycays have become my weekend ritual at this point - an effortless plan that never fails.
We asked Aysha, Privilee Business Associate and the go-to guru in the office for all things beachy and poolside, to share the spots that have made it into her regular rotation. Here are her current obsessions, and why you might want to do the same.
PLAYA
Peruvian-inspired with a crystal-clear pool and unbeatable marina views, PLAYA brings just the right balance of energy and ease. The menu’s worth making time for, and whether you’re there to lounge or socialise, it never feels too much.
Tip: arrive early to grab one of the sun loungers by the pool, especially on weekends.
📍Palm West Beach
Terra Solis
Tucked away in the desert, Terra Solis offers a complete change of pace from city life. Think open skies, chilled house music, and all-day tanning. Great for adults-only pool days, day-to-night parties, and desert getaways.
📍Jebel Ali
Soluna Restaurants & Beach Club
This quiet spot on The Palm is ideal for when you're in need of a sea breeze and looking to switch off. I go here for a solo recharge days or relaxing catch-ups with a friend.
📍Palm Jumeirah
Ula, Ras Al Khaimah
When it’s time to get out of the city, Ula RAK always delivers. With its relaxed, natural vibe and seriously good food and drinks, it’s an easy choice for a weekend that feels like a proper break.
Tip: Stay for lunch and sundowners - everything is fresh, seasonal, and designed for sharing.
📍Mövenpick Resort, Al Marjan Island
Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort
For weekends spent with my nieces, this one’s hard to beat. Multiple pools, direct beach access, and a peaceful. The Thai-inspired is ideal when you’re looking for somewhere that works for everyone. There’s enough variety to keep kids happy while still giving adults a moment to unwind.
📍Palm Jumeirah
Whether you’re in the mood for a full-day reset or a simple poolside afternoon, these picks offer something for every kind of weekend. Tried, tested, and officially part of the Privilee team rotation, you might just find your new favourite.
