Whisper it quietly: winter is almost in full swing – and we all know what that means.
Dubai is about to go off with a whole host of incredible events – and nowhere epitomises this more than Bluewaters.
The unique location puts up a blend of charm, elegance and island living, making it a true Dubai icon.
Bluewaters hosts a collection of dining concepts that bring flavours from all over the world. Be transported to the Amalfi Coast at Alici, visit Dubai’s first licensed Din Tai Fung or sample authentic Nikkei cuisine at Clay – but there’s so much more to the dining here than that. It’s a paradise for coffee enthusiasts as well, where you can catch up with friends over artisan coffee and freshly baked treats from L’ETO, DRVN Coffee, Starbucks, and Angel Cakes – all set against the backdrop of breathtaking sea views.
Another draw is the wide selection of attractions available for anyone making a visit – including the region’s first Madame Tussauds, children’s play haven Tr88house, the all-new Illusion City and gaming haven True Gamers. You can even take it slow and pamper yourself at a host of wellness salons, spas and beauty spots such as Love My Body and Med Yu Clinic.
