One of the region’s most significant holidays is just around the corner, and now is the time to pencil in an exciting escape into your diary, with unmissable staycations, festive feasts, and wellness experiences awaiting across the UAE
2025 has already been an action-packed year for the Katch team. It feels like just yesterday we were busy with our Eid Al Fitr PR campaigns, and now, Eid Al Adha is almost upon us. As the next UAE public holiday on the calendar, Eid Al Adha is a joyful and reflective occasion filled with togetherness, tradition, celebration, and, of course, a well-deserved long weekend. If an overseas getaway doesn’t quite fit your busy schedule, fear not, we’ve rounded up all the best staycay deals, wellness treatments, and dining delights so you can celebrate right here in the UAE.
Celebratory Feasts
Be it a birthday, a catch-up with friends, or just an excuse to get dolled up, Dubai’s residents are always ready to brunch. Building on the city’s brunch culture and the joyous spirit of Eid, The H Dubai’s signature Eat & Meat restaurant is gearing up for its own flavourful celebration on Saturday, June 7th. Bringing together the warmth of tradition and the richness of global cuisine, this festive gathering invites brunch-goers to tuck into an international buffet featuring signature dishes from the Middle East, Asia, the Mediterranean, and beyond.
Throughout the afternoon, sip on Arabic coffee and catch all the engaging live entertainment while little ones hang out in the dedicated kids’ zone with face painting, balloon twisting, and arts and crafts. Adding to the Eid experience, a traditional henna artist will also be on hand to ensure guests of all ages look the part.
Outside the city, JA Lake View Hotel is also setting the table for a memorable feast with a special Eid-inspired set menu at Kinara by Vikas Khanna. Available exclusively on June 6th and 7th, diners can look forward to a blend of time-honoured flavours and modern flair, featuring a rich selection of kebabs, indulgent curries, fragrant biryanis, and decadent desserts. Among the must-try dishes are the delicate Malai Paneer Tikka, bold Keema Kaleji, and festive Chicken Dum Biryani.
For a slower-paced Eid celebration, the Equestrian Lounge at Al Habtoor Polo Resort will be serving a delightful Afternoon Tea experience from June 4th to 6th. Guests can unwind indoors or soak up the uninterrupted views of lush polo fields outside while enjoying a spread of fine teas, homemade pastries, sandwiches, and buttery scones.
Holiday Bliss
If relaxing and recharging is more your vibe this Eid, head to The Pearl Spa & Wellness Abu Dhabi at Four Seasons Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island for an exclusive Hydrafacial Platinum Edition. This glow-boosting treatment combines deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and lymphatic drainage with intense hydration and a custom booster, finishing with LED light therapy to smooth and brighten. As a special Eid treat, guests will also receive a complimentary Perk Eye or Lip enhancement, using cutting-edge Perk™ technology to lift, refresh, and keep the glow going at home.
Over on the shores of Dubai Islands, Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai offers a chance for parents to relish some precious ‘me time’ with the ‘Eid Elegance’ package at Spa Cenvaree. Savour a moment of solace amid the holiday excitement with a pampering 30-minute Hydraboost Facial followed by a deeply relaxing 60-minute Aromatherapy Massage. Little ones can also get in on the relaxation at the colourful Candy Spa with the ‘Candy Spa Bag of Wonders’, a fun-packed experience featuring a choice of mini massages, facials, mani-pedis, and hair braiding.
Sun-Soaked Staycations
With a long weekend on the horizon, a staycation is a no-brainer for celebrating Eid Al Adha, and the UAE is bursting with options to suit every guest. As always, Rove Hotels is sharing the spirit of the occasion with complimentary breakfast and exclusive half board upgrades across all Rove properties. All guests who book a stay between June 4th and 14th will wake up each day to a hearty breakfast spread on the house, while those who book bed and breakfast will automatically be upgraded to half board, perfect for feasting with family and friends.
For a change of pace, swap city sights for breathtaking mountain views with an Eid escape at JA Hatta Fort Hotel. With special discounts on stays, dining, resort activities like spa treatments, padel tennis, and archery, and local attractions such as Hatta Outdoor and the Honey Bee Farm, there has never been a better time to experience Hatta’s charm. To top it all off, Jeema Restaurant will host an unmissable Eid Al Adha Brunch featuring a mouthwatering spread of international favourites and traditional Emirati delicacies with a twist, including slow-cooked Lamb Ouzi, Saffron Lobster Machboos, a Date Tasting Bar, Chocolate Fountain, and Luqaimat Flambé Stations.
Unforgettable Family Getaways
Designed with family fun in mind, Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai is pulling out all the stops to ensure a memorable holiday for guests of all ages. Savour every moment of the long weekend with special rates, daily breakfast, and a whole host of festive activities. Kids can let loose at Camp Safari with lantern-making, games, and mini discos, while the whole family can get involved with aqua fitness, beachfront movie nights, and live entertainment.
Alternatively, mark the occasion as a family with special perks for half-board guests at Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi. Spend laid-back mornings on the 200-metre beach with a cocktail in hand while the kids build sandcastles, take a refreshing plunge in one of four pools, or trade the shoreline for roller coasters using your complimentary Yas Island theme park pass. Younger guests are covered too, with Rixy Kids’ Club providing daily games, creative crafts, and lively mini discos, while Terra Mare’s festive brunch promises mouthwatering dishes, refreshing drinks, and entertainment for the whole family.
