Dubai is a paradise for leisure enthusiasts, o昀昀ering everything from pris琀椀ne
golf courses and luxury yachts to lavish spas and 昀椀tness experiences. The city’s
blend of outdoor and indoor ac琀椀vi琀椀es ensures there’s something for everyone,
whether you’re looking to unwind, stay 昀椀t, or explore in style. Here’s a guide to
some of the best ways to enjoy Dubai’s impressive leisure o昀昀erings.
GOLF: TEE OFF WITH A VIEW
For golf lovers, Dubai o昀昀ers some of
the most picturesque courses in the
region. Emirates Golf Club, home to
the iconic Majlis and Faldo courses,
is a favourite for its immaculate
greens and signature views of the
city’s skyline. Playing here means
teeing o昀昀 surrounded by palm trees,
sparkling lakes, and—if you book an
early morning slot—stunning sunrise
views over the course.
Another gem, Dubai Hills Golf
Club, combines lush fairways with
the unique backdrop of the Burj
Khalifa. This championship course
is designed to challenge golfers of
all levels, with strategically placed
bunkers and water features that
make each round a memorable
experience.
Golf Tip: Visit during the annual
Dubai Desert Classic at Emirates
Golf Club to see the world’s top
golfers compete while soaking up
the lively atmosphere.
YACHTING: SAIL THE ARABIAN
GULF IN STYLE
Dubai’s yach琀椀ng scene is the
epitome of luxury. Dubai Marina
o昀昀ers an array of private yacht rentals
that are perfect for celebra琀椀ng
special occasions, hos琀椀ng sunset
gatherings, or simply exploring the
city from the water. You can choose
from a variety of yachts, from sleek,
in琀椀mate vessels to expansive luxury
boats equipped with lounges, dining
areas, and sundecks.
Many yachts also o昀昀er water
ac琀椀vi琀椀es like jet skiing and
snorkelling, allowing guests to fully
experience the Arabian Gulf. For
an unforge琀琀able evening, book
a sunset cruise and watch as the
skyline lights up around you—a
quintessen琀椀al Dubai experience.
Yacht Tip: Hire a yacht for a day琀椀me
trip to Palm Jumeirah or a night
cruise to enjoy breathtaking views of
Dubai’s iconic landmarks, including
the Burj Al Arab and Atlan琀椀s, The
Palm.
