    Elevate your summer nights with a sky-high swim at Address Beach Resort

    Life

    July 30, 2025

    As Dubai’s summer heat reaches its peak, Address Beach Resort presents an extraordinary escape for discerning travelers: an exclusive night swimming experience at ZETA Seventy-Seven, the world’s highest infinity pool. Available throughout August 2025, this unique offering combines luxury hospitality with breathtaking nocturnal vistas, creating what may be the city’s most memorable summer experience.

    Perched 77 floors above the city, ZETA Seventy-Seven transforms into a serene oasis after sunset. The venue’s unprecedented elevation provides guests with dual advantages – a spectacular panorama of Dubai’s glittering skyline and naturally cooler temperatures. Meteorologists confirm the pool deck maintains temperatures approximately three degrees lower than ground level, offering a refreshing respite from the summer warmth. The infinity edge design creates the illusion of swimming directly above the city, with landmark views extending from Ain Dubai to the Palm Jumeirah.
    Limited-time summer exclusive
    This night swim experience forms part of Address Beach Resort’s seasonal programming, available only during August 2025. The property has become renowned for creating such exclusive moments, having previously hosted full-moon yoga sessions at extraordinary heights.

    Reservations for the summer program are now open through the resort’s official website. Room rates vary by accommodation type and view category, with all bookings including access to the night swim experience. For those seeking to extend their evening, the resort’s spa remains open until 9pm, offering moonlit treatments that complement the rooftop experience.
    A new perspective on Dubai nights
    The night swim experience, available until 11 PM daily, redefines urban relaxation. Guests can float in the illuminated pool while watching the city transition from golden hour to its full nighttime brilliance. The resort’s expert mixologists stand ready to craft signature beverages, allowing swimmers to enjoy premium cocktails against this extraordinary backdrop.

    For hotel guests, the experience begins the moment they check into their rooms or suites. Each accommodation at Address Beach Resort features floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf. The property’s prime beachfront location ensures easy access to both marine and urban attractions, though many guests find the rooftop pool becomes their preferred destination after sunset.
    Engineering marvel meets luxury hospitality
    The technical achievement of maintaining a pool at this altitude cannot be overstated. Advanced temperature control systems ensure comfortable water conditions regardless of external weather patterns, while specialized lighting creates an ethereal glow after dark. Safety remains paramount, with trained lifeguards and hospitality staff attending to guests’ every need throughout the evening.

    Food and beverage offerings at ZETA Seventy-Seven receive equal attention. The kitchen prepares  Asian-inspired dishes using seasonal ingredients, perfect for warm summer nights. Guests particularly praise the seafood selections, best enjoyed at one of the poolside cabanas as the city lights twinkle below.

    Discover Elaia Dubai, a dining experience with a Mediterranean soul

    Life

    July 30, 2025

    In the heart of Dubai Marina, Elaia redefines dining as a ritual—one that transcends food and becomes a celebration of connection. Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean’s deep-rooted culture of shared meals, this Pier 7 gem transforms every gathering into an experience of warmth, dialogue, and lingering delight.
    A Menu Designed for Connection
    At Elaia, the menu is a love letter to Mediterranean conviviality. Dishes are crafted not just for individual enjoyment but to spark conversation—think mezze platters and seafood spreads meant to be passed around. Each bite carries the essence of coastal Greece and Southern Italy, blending tradition with contemporary flair.

    A Space That Speaks
    Every corner of Elaia tells a story. Natural wood, hand-painted ceramics, and soft, curving lines create an ambiance that feels both organic and elegant. The design isn’t just aesthetic—it’s intentional, encouraging guests to relax, lean in, and lose track of time. Sunlit lunches and intimate dinners alike unfold in a setting that mirrors the unhurried charm of a Mediterranean villa.

    Elaia champions the lost art of lingering—whether over one of their authentic dishes or a dessert shared between friends. The rhythm is deliberate, inviting guests to taste with intention and embrace the joy of unhurried togetherness.
    Mediterranean Food, by Mediterranean People

    While rooted in age-old rituals, Elaia is conceptualized by people from the mediterranean, and managed by people from the mediterranean. It’s a place where business lunches are filled with laughter, and date nights feel like escapes to the Aegean—all without leaving the Marina.
    It is located at Pier 7, Dubai Marina, 4th Floor, daily, 12pm-2am. For reservations,  contact +971 58 978 1000 or reservations@elaiadubai.com.
    For more information, visit @elaiadubai.

    And for those selected, what awaits is something the beauty world has never seen before.
    The Skin Vault Was Just the Beginning
    At its first discreet gathering, The Skin Vault Launch, a handpicked group of women were introduced to the world of Migems. Held with a Black & White Parisienne dress code, the evening revealed glimpses of a sanctuary built not just on skincare, but on privacy and quiet prestige. If you weren’t there, a second moment is coming.

    The 35 – Sunset Flow

    Empowering women, one salon and dish at a time – The Sakshi Nath story

    Life

    by Sarah Joseph
    10 mins ago

    IN PARTNERSHIP: How Sakshi Nath ensures her multi-faceted entrepreneurial skill set shapes Dubai’s culinary and beauty landscape as owner of Queens Beauty Lounge and Co-founder of Trèsind.
    Talk us through your background.
    A fashion designer by profession, I began my journey working in New Delhi, India. After getting married, I moved to Nigeria and opened a boutique, bringing my passion for fashion to life. In 2008, I relocated to Dubai and ventured into the restaurant business alongside my husband. However, beauty has always been my true passion and I had long envisioned stepping into the spa and salon industry. From fashion to food and finally beauty, my journey has been a dynamic evolution of creativity and entrepreneurship.
    What inspired you to enter the beauty space and launch Queens Beauty Lounge?
    Beauty has always been my passion. Over the years, I realised the power of self-care and confidence that a great beauty experience can provide. When I saw a gap in the market for a comprehensive, high quality beauty lounge that caters to women’s needs under one roof, I knew it was time to bring my vision to life. Queens Beauty Lounge was born out of my belief that every woman deserves to feel like a queen, pampered, empowered and beautiful.

    Trèsind has redefined Indian fine dining. What was your vision when launching it in 2014, and how has it evolved since then?
    When we launched Trèsind in 2014, the vision was to change the perception of Indian cuisine to showcase its depth, artistry and innovation while preserving its authenticity. We wanted to take guests on a multi-sensory culinary journey, making every meal an experience.Over the years, Trèsind has evolved into a pioneer of progressive Indian cuisine, setting global trends while maintaining deep cultural roots. Today, it continues to push boundaries, offering a dining experience that is elevated, immersive and unforgettable. Queens Beauty Lounge is rooted in empowerment and self-care.
    How do you ensure that your brand aligns with this philosophy?
    At Queens Beauty Lounge, we believe that beauty is more than skin deep, it’s about confidence, self-love and feeling your best. We ensure that this philosophy is reflected in everything we do, from the luxurious experience we provide to the high-quality products we use and the expert services we offer. Our space is designed to be a sanctuary for women, where they can unwind, rejuvenate and leave feeling empowered.
    “There are no shortcuts to building a successful brand”
    What values and leadership principles guide you in running both Trèsind and Queens Beauty Lounge?
    At both Trèsind and Queens Beauty Lounge, customer satisfaction is our top priority. Our philosophy is simple “Our guest is our God and the guest is always right.” We never say no to our clients and always go the extra mile to meet their expectations. This commitment to excellence has helped us build strong and lasting relationships with our customers.

    What are some of the biggest challenges you face as an entrepreneur and how do you overcome them?
    Building a brand from the ground up is never easy. One of the biggest challenges is establishing trust in a highly competitive market. It takes immense effort and consistency to earn trust and stand out. Both the hospitality and salon industries are service-driven and finding the right team is crucial. Building and retaining a skilled team was one of the most challenging aspects, but with the strong leadership of my husband and commitment to quality, we have been able to create a brand that speaks for itself.
    How important is storytelling in design, and how do you use it to create immersive brand experiences?
    Whether it’s in a restaurant or a salon, the space must tell a story that connects with people emotionally. At Trèsind, we use storytelling to create a multi-sensory dining experience, from the flavors to the presentation to the ambiance. At Queens Beauty Lounge, our design is warm, elegant and inviting and clean, ensuring that every client feels pampered the moment they walk in. Every detail matters, it’s not just about aesthetics but about the feeling a space evokes.
    You also balance different roles as a mother and entrepreneur – what’s the key to this?
    Balance is an ongoing challenge but the key is time management and prioritisation. I make sure I dedicate time to both my family and my business, without compromising on either. Surrounding myself with a strong support system both personally and professionally makes all the difference. I also believe in being fully present in whatever I am doing at the moment, whether it’s spending time with my children or leading a business meeting.

    What advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs who want to create impactful brands?
    Passion and persistence are everything. Strong work ethics, determination and dedication is the key. There are no shortcuts to building a successful brand, you need to be deeply invested in your vision, continuously learning and ready to adapt. Surround yourself with the right people and don’t be afraid to take risks.
