Don’t let the cool weather pass you by without tanning in a new beach club, partying under the stars or dining alfresco
EATING OUT
Pull up a pew, slap on some sunscreen and enjoy an alfresco feast
01 FOLLY
Modern European Folly By Nick & Scott has an intimate dining area inside, but its pièce de résistance is the outdoor terrace, which should be enjoyed before summer starts. There are two outdoor terrace bars, over three levels, all featuring views over the Madinat waterways and Burj Al Arab. Guests can sit at the communal table or the lounging nooks.
- Madinat Jumeirah, Sun to Wed noon to 2.20pm, 7pm to 11pm, Thur to Sat 12.30pm to 3.30pm, 7pm to 11pm. Tel: (04) 4308535. Taxi: Madinat. folly.ae
02 NINIVE
Arguably the chicest, most Instagrammed outdoor majlis in town, a meal at Ninive feels like you’re on a mini holiday in Marrakesh. Slump in a cosy alcove underneath a canvas canopy or relax on a golden, velvety couch under the stars with a shisha. A brilliant alfresco spot to impress guests.
- Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, Sat to Wed 4pm to 2am, Thur and Fri 4pm to 3am. Tel: (04) 3266105. Metro: Emirates Towers. ninive.ae
03 RIVA
Just before the summer hits, Riva Beach Club launches a new weekend deal – Saturday Chill & Grill. For Dhs80, get a plateful of grilled meats served with a selection of sides, plus access to the pool and private beach.
- Riva Beach Club, between Buildings 7 & 8 of The Shoreline, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, Sat 3pm to 7pm. Tel: (04) 4309466. Taxi: Riva Beach Club. riva-beach.com

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER
This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
