Th8 Palm Dubai Beach Resort, the luxury boutique destination on Palm Jumeirah, unveils its newest culinary gem, Bakalis by ENVY, a Greek-inspired restaurant that brings the soulful beauty of the Aegean to Dubai’s iconic shoreline.

Designed as a toes-in-the-sand dining experience, Bakalis captures the laid-back spirit of coastal Greece, with sunset views, sea breeze, and the scent of grilled seafood wafting through the air. As the resort’s new specialty restaurant, it’s a place where guests can linger over shared plates, sip chilled rosé in carafes, and soak in uninterrupted views of the Dubai skyline and Arabian Gulf.

Bakalis presents a delicious sharing-style menu that celebrates authentic Greek flavors, inviting guests to indulge in a true Mediterranean feast. Begin with an array of traditional cold plates such as tzatziki, fava, dolmades, and marinated anchovies before savoring warm favorites like grilled eggplant with feta, zucchini chips, and grilled squid. For mains, expect beautifully prepared dishes including traditional Moussaka, chicken souvlaki with lemon rice, whole sea bass with grilled vegetables, Gulf prawns, and lamb chops, each crafted with care and made to share. Enhancing the experience are the two magnificent cast-iron grills with open flames, infusing the air with the irresistible aromas of Greek spices and tender meats. And because no Greek meal is complete without something sweet, Bakalis rounds off the experience with indulgent desserts such as Loukoumades, Bougatsa, pistachio baklava, and Greek yogurt with honey and nuts, offering the perfect finish to a vibrant dining journey.

“We wanted Bakalis to embody the essence of Greece, its flavors, warmth, and spirit of connection,” says Faisal Albaradie, Culinary Director at Th8 Palm Dubai Beach Resort. “It’s the kind of place where you feel the sand beneath your feet, share a meal under the stars, and let time slow down over good food and great company.”

Additionally, Bakalis was pleased to welcome Chef Ioannis Baxevanis, who joined the opening night to narrate the cultural and culinary traditions that have inspired the menu, offering guests an immersive journey into Greece’s rich gastronomic legacy.

With its romantic beachfront setting, sharing-style dining, and sunset-perfect ambiance, Bakalis is poised to become one of Dubai’s most memorable dining destinations, ideal for date nights, intimate gatherings, and private events alike. Here, every visit feels like a mini escape to the Aegean, where the food, the views, and the spirit of togetherness come together in perfect harmony.

Some things in life stay beautifully constant, and for many Dubai residents, that has been their pets. Through everyday routines, slow days, and everything in between, pet parents have built their lives around their four-legged companions in the most natural, heartwarming way. UBK at Mövenpick Jumeirah Lakes Towers is celebrating that bond with Paws & Pour, a feel-good gesture for guests who stayed in Dubai with their pets during the recent period of regional uncertainty.

Visit UBK, show a photo of you and your pet from the past two months in Dubai, and enjoy a complimentary non-alcoholic drink on the house every Sunday only from 12pm-12am. Just a simple cheer to a not-so-simple bond. Because UBK has always been proudly pet-friendly, especially with Paws & Play running Sunday to Thursday from 12pm to 7pm, where dogs are very much part of the vibe. Plus, guests can enjoy 30% off food and beverages while spending time with their furry plus-ones.

YOUR FAMILY HOLIDAY JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT MORE INTERESTING AT SIYAM WORLD

Part of the Lifestyle Collection of Sun Siyam, Siyam World has never really done “ordinary.” And with two of its most high-energy island experiences now firmly on the weekly roster, families, groups and anyone with a competitive streak have even more reason to book that trip.

Lace Up: The Siyam World 3K Wellness Run:

Every week, guests gather at the start line for the Siyam World 3K Wellness Run, where good vibes meet great views. Clearly marked pathways guide the way to a marathon-style route around the island but the rules are simple: go at your own pace, take in the views, and enjoy the moment. Run it, jog it, or power-walk it with a smoothie in hand. No judgment here. Cross the finish line and you’ll earn an exclusive Siyam World 3K Run badge, the most stylish souvenir you’ll take home, and the ultimate bragging rights for completing a 3K on the most epic island in the Maldives. It’s all about moving, smiling, and enjoying the moment.

Game Faces On: The Amazing Race

For families and groups ready to turn up the heat, The Amazing Race is exactly what it sounds like, chaotic, competitive, and seriously good fun. Teams of up to five kick off at the starting point before racing across the island, completing challenges and hunting down clues at every turn. Five challenges. Multiple locations. Zero time to waste. It’s a test of speed, teamwork and quick thinking with a generous helping of chaos thrown in for good measure. And the rewards? Very worth running for. The winning team takes home a complimentary excursion, second place hits the waves on a banana boat, and third place gets behind the wheel at the Maldives’ first-ever resort based electric go-kart circuit. Not a bad consolation prize.

Whether you’re chasing that runner’s high, racing your kids across the island, or just looking for something a little different from the usual sun-lounger routine, Siyam World delivers. Every experience is designed to bring people together, keep the energy high, and create the kind of memories that don’t fade with the tan.

A World Beyond Your Wildest.

Siyam World’s summer offer makes it easier than ever to say yes. Save up to 45% off, enjoy USD 150 resort credit, and settle in to Premium 24hrs WOW! All-inclusive from the moment you arrive. Stay 4 nights and a seaplane transfer is on the house — stay 7 and that extends to two guests, plus a floating breakfast for two. And for families, children under 12 stay completely free when sharing with adults. The only question is how long you can stay. Book your stay NOW.
