    9 chic fashion beach club takeovers to visit this summer 2025

    Make this summer its most chic yet. From the South of France to the Aegean coast of Turkey, here are 9 luxury fashion beach club takeovers to visit this summer 2025.
    The biggest names in luxury fashion continue to take over beach clubs around the world this summer season. A fusion of luxury and leisure, these iconic names, both in the fashion and hospitality industries, are redefining summer indulgence.
    Here, Emirates Woman rounds up the places to see and be seen in, with each takeover presenting an opportunity to relax and explore the brand’s heritage through an unparalleled experience.
    Dior at Il Riccio Capri – Capri, Italy
    Set over the Blue Grotto, the exclusive Dior terrace at this cliffside seafood restaurant Il Riccio Capri gets a fresh makeover each year adorned with the French maison’s iconic signature details, offering guests at Jumeirah Capri Palace a taste of Capri‘s delights – think: spaghettoni pasta and rich tiramisu.

    Dolce&Gabbana at Clap House Ibiza – Ibiza, Spain
    The world-class dining venue, offering contemporary Japanese cuisine, on the White Isle, plays host to one of Dolce&Gabbana’s exclusive takeovers for 2025. Located in the Talamanca area, Dolce&Gabbana unconventionally reinterprets the iconic Leopard print, as it adorns the beach club’s furnishings, establishing an atmosphere that is both elegant and fierce. For the occasion, an exclusive pop-up store offers a selection of Dolce&Gabbana clothing and accessories for an authentic Italian summer experience.

    Jacquemus at Monte-Carlo Beach – Cap-Martin, France
    No one does a chic beach club takeover like Simon Porter. The French fashion label has taken its Riviera spirit to the iconic seaside club, the Monte-Carlo Beach Club, until October 7, 2025. For this partnership, the legendary pier and pool café has been transformed with playful touches of Jacquemus’s signature aesthetic, inspired by the “La Croisière” collection, and has set up two pop-up boutiques for serious shopping sessions.

    Loro Piana at Reserve a la Plage – Saint Tropez, France
    Italian luxury fashion brand, Loro Piana, is bringing its sophisticated touch to La Réserve à la Plage for the third consecutive year, offering a sublime sun-drenched experience along Pampelonne Beach. The beach club is decked with the brand’s signature earthy tones and motifs from the umbrellas, sunbeds, and cushions, while a pop-up boutique features a curated selection of ready-to-wear clothing and accessories inspired by the Venetian Lagoon from the Resort 2025 collection.

    Burberry at The Standard, Ibiza – Ibiza, Spain
    Open until October 2025, Burberry collaborates with The Standard, Ibiza, for a joyful takeover of the hotel’s seasonal rooftop bar and restaurant, UP. Blending style, escapism, and an unmistakable British attitude, custom design takes over UP with loungers, parasols, and branded seating – and even sails the coast on Check Mate, a Burberry boat making waves along the Ibiza shoreline.
    Inside, a branded photo booth in the lobby invites guests to capture their summer in style, and guests can enjoy a curated edit of summer staples for those who are in the mood to shop – from lightweight layers to sun-ready separates grounded in Burberry house codes.

    Missoni Resort Club at OKU Ibiza – Ibiza, Spain
    Located within the renowned OKU Ibiza, an iconic hotel destination on the island, the Missoni Resort Club brings the Italian fashion house’s signature technicolour aesthetic to one of the island’s most buzzed-about hotspots. The hotel’s 50-metre swimming pool has been transformed into a vibrant destination inspired by the Mediterranean seascape, and the setting is further enhanced by custom-designed sunbeds, towels, and soft furnishings, creating a refined poolside atmosphere that captures the laidback, free-spirited nature of the island.

    Jacquemus at Jondal – Ibiza, Spain
    Set along the crystalline coastline, the loved locale becomes the canvas for Jacquemus. Re-designed and meticulously branded, Jondal embodies the Provençal DNA of the French fashion label. Sunbeds, parasols, cushions, towels, and other decorative items – including a bespoke petanque court – are decked in a colour palette of soft yellow, terracotta, and sandy neutrals and adorned with signature elements from the “La Croisière” collection. For some leisure island hopping, the charming on-site pop-up boutique houses a limited-edition capsule collection, featuring selections for women, men, and accessories in exclusive colourways and prints.

    Alo Yoga at Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum – Bodrum, Turkey
    Mandarin Oriental’s Blue Beach has been transformed into a summer haven that any wellness enthusiast will love to be seen in this summer. At the Alo Beach Club, guests can enjoy exclusive wellness activations including sunrise yoga, sound healing, meditation, and more with sweeping views of the Aegean Sea, shop in the 700 square-foot boutique, and lounge on Alo-decked sunbeds as you get your dose of vitamin D with Alo-branded coconut in hand – offering the full Alo lifestyle this summer.

    Dolce&Gabbana at San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel – Taormina, Italy
    The exclusive DG Resort creative takeover and pop-up store is located in the heart of the former monastery, bringing its unmistakable aesthetic to one of the most iconic locations on the eastern Sicilian coast. After the success of previous summer seasons, Dolce&Gabbana once again enhances its splendour with a Blu Mediterraneo-themed design that evokes the opulence of Sicilian ceramics, decorating the entire infinity pool area overlooking the sea and its terrace. Completing the experience is the exclusive pop-up boutique offering a selection of Dolce&Gabbana clothing and accessories, including a special collection of exclusive creations designed specifically for this location, featuring a new print that celebrates its most distinctive views.

    5 Tips To Prevent Stained Teeth & Brighten Your Smile

    Let’s be honest: our efforts to prevent stained teeth and brighten our smile are thwarted by other priorities. Mornings without coffee feel incomplete, and a good weekend just isn’t the same without a glass of wine (or two). Whether you’re sipping your frothy cappuccino during a quick Zoom meeting or clinking glasses of Merlot at a braai, there’s no denying: South African women know how to enjoy the little pleasures in life.

    But what do your favourite beverages have in common – aside from being utterly delicious? Unfortunately, they’re both notorious for staining your teeth. That perfect selfie smile can start to look a little less sparkling over time, even if your oral hygiene is on otherwise point. Don’t worry – you don’t have to give up your morning fix or weekend unwind to keep your teeth white. With a few smart tweaks from dental surgeon Dr Ockert Bekker, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: prevent stained teeth *and* have our coffee.

    How Teeth Get Stained

    Coffee and wine both contain something called chromogens – compounds with strong pigments that easily cling to your tooth enamel. Red wine also packs tannins, which help those stains latch on even better. And while coffee may seem harmless in its milky latte form, it’s acidic, which can weaken enamel and make your teeth more porous over time – prime territory for discolouration.

    It’s not just reds (or coffee hues) that are sneaky culprits. White wine, though lighter in colour, is highly acidic too, which means it preps your enamel to absorb pigments from whatever else you eat or drink after that glass. So, if you’re pairing your Chenin with strawberries or a rich tomato pasta… yep, more staining potential!

    How To Prevent Stained Teeth – And Whiten Your Smile

    The good news? You don’t need to switch to herbal tea and sparkling water (unless you want to, of course). Here are a few low-effort, high-impact tips to help keep your smile bright:

    Rinse, Don’t Rush

    After your last sip of coffee or wine, try rinsing your mouth with water before brushing. This helps neutralise the acid and reduce the staining effect. Brushing immediately after drinking acidic beverages can actually do more harm than good, as your enamel is temporarily softened.

    Use a Straw

    Yes, for that beloved iced coffee: a straw can help bypass your front teeth and limit the staining contact. Ditto for wine (although you may invite questions).

    Chew on Crunchy Snacks

    Raw fruits and veggies like apples, cucumber, celery and carrots help naturally scrub your teeth and boost saliva, which acts like your mouth’s own cleaning agent. Keep a stash of crunchy snacks nearby – your teeth (and your gut) will thank you.

    Upgrade Your Toothpaste

    Opt for a whitening toothpaste that’s enamel-safe and ideally contains fluoride. Just make sure it’s not too abrasive – look for one approved by the SA Dental Association (SADA) or your dentist.

    See Your Dentist Regularly

    No surprises here! A professional clean twice a year helps remove surface stains and keeps your teeth healthy. And if you’re keen for a whitening boost, your dentist can recommend safe, effective options that won’t damage your enamel. At Bekker Dental & Aesthetics, we make use of the renowned Philips Zoom Whitening Treatment for our in-chair procedure and our take-home kit.

    Embrace the Balance

    Life’s too short not to enjoy your favourite drinks. But it’s also too short to hide your smile in photos or feel self-conscious every time someone says, “Say cheese!” With just a few tweaks to your daily routine, you can enjoy your coffee dates and wine nights and keep your pearly whites looking their best.

    Life

    July 1, 2025

    Have you been caught daydreaming about the bucket list experiences you want to have in your lifetime?
    With the GCC being home to a myriad of must-see places and challenging experiences to try, you better start adding these activities to your list. From skydiving to zip lining the options are endless to add some excitement to your mundane schedule.
    Overall, a bucket list experience refers to something deeply memorable, unique, or transformative that people aspire to do or accomplish in their lifetime. Several factors contribute to making an experience bucket-list worthy.
    Why are these special?
    Everyone makes a list of activities they want to tick mark before they pass away. Also, often because it’s special, challenging, or fulfilling. These activities are typically unique, adventurous, or highly meaningful and represent personal goals or dreams. In short, a bucket list activity is something significant that someone aspires to do before they “kick the bucket,” meaning before they pass away.

    When is the next long weekend? Your ultimate guide to UAE’s 2025 public holidays

    Life

    June 30, 2025

    The UAE Cabinet has officially announced at least 12 public holidays in 2025, with dates subject to moon sightings—meaning more opportunities for residents to pause, recharge, and reset. While we still have four more public holidays to look forward to this year, the next one is just around the corner: Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday (PBUH).
    In today’s fast-paced world, long weekends aren’t just a luxury—they’re a necessity for mental and emotional wellbeing. These breaks allow us to step away from daily routines, reconnect with ourselves, and return with renewed energy. And with the UAE’s latest public holiday policy, even more long weekends could be on the horizon.

    When Is the Next Public Holiday in the UAE?
    The Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday (PBUH) falls in Rabi Al-Awwal, the third month of the Islamic calendar. Depending on moon sightings, the holiday could land on:
    Friday, September 5 – Resulting in a three-day weekend (Friday to Sunday).Thursday, September 4 – Potentially granting residents an extra day off during the workweek.
    The exact date will be confirmed closer to the time, but either way, it’s the perfect opportunity to unplug, travel, or simply indulge in some much-needed rest.
    More Long Weekends to Look Forward to in 2025
    Beyond this year, UAE National Day in 2025 is set to bring another extended break. Mark your calendars for:
    Tuesday, December 2 to Wednesday, December 3, 2025 – A two-day public holiday celebrating the UAE’s unity and progress.
    With the weekend following shortly after, residents may be able to enjoy an extended break by taking just a couple of days off—perfect for a relaxing staycation or a quick international getaway.
    A New Law for Longer Weekends
    Starting in 2025, the UAE has introduced a new rule: if a public holiday falls on a weekend, it can be moved to the start of the new week, ensuring residents don’t miss out on a day off. However, this does not apply to Eid Al Fitr or Eid Al Adha, as these holidays follow a fixed structure.
    This change reflects the UAE’s commitment to work-life balance, recognizing that regular breaks are vital for productivity and happiness.
    Why Long Weekends Matter

    Science backs what we already know—taking breaks boosts creativity, reduces burnout, and improves overall mental health. Whether you use the time for a quick getaway, a digital detox, or quality time with loved ones, these pauses help rewire your mind, allowing you to return with clarity and purpose.
    Stay tuned for official moon sighting confirmations, and make the most of your well-deserved break.
