As summer sets in over the UAE, residents begin to adjust their pace, finding new ways to enjoy and experience the season. With fewer crowds and a slower rhythm, the city’s character shifts. Poolside afternoons become the highlight of the week, while weekends ease in with a feel-good energy, free from stress, pressure, and even purpose, offering a much-needed detox from the pace of everyday life. Summer becomes a time that gently encourages you to take care of yourself.
Staycations almost become a ritual during this time of year, with the slower days creating space for reflection, small resets, and a sense of balance that’s easy to lose in busier months.
That’s exactly what W Dubai – The Palm has curated with its W Summer Escape Staycation package. Set in the heart of Palm Jumeirah, this seasonal experience is designed around the slower rhythm of summer, combining panoramic ocean views, exceptional dining, and the signature energy the W brand is known for. It’s a destination that feels both indulgent and effortless, whether you’re checking in for a long weekend or simply unwinding for the night. Even in peak summer, Palm Jumeirah offers something rare: space to breathe, reset, and feel completely removed from the city, despite being only minutes away.
W Summer Escape
Running from 30 June to 31 August, the W Summer Escape Staycation package is designed for the kind of staycation people in the UAE actually want right now. It’s easy to book, easy to enjoy, and made for sun soaked days where doing less feels like doing it right.

The standout feature is that guests who book the package are guaranteed an upgrade to a Fabulous Room, with each having breathtaking panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, reflecting the very best of Dubai’s coastal lifestyle. It’s a space that feels distinctly W, with bold lines, floor to ceiling windows, and interiors that balance energy with ease. Step onto your private balcony and you are immediately enveloped in tranquility, offering a perfect vantage point to soak in Dubai’s iconic sunsets. Picture yourself savouring a cool beverage as the sky shifts through shades of pink and orange, yachts drifting silently across the water below, a moment of quiet luxury, effortlessly yours.
Breakfast comes with the package, with the mornings beginning at LIV, the hotel’s light filled all day dining spot. The breakfast here is generous and indulgent.

The offer also includes AED 100 daily dining credit, giving you the perfect reason to explore the hotel’s food and drink scene at your own pace. Start with lunch or sundowners at WET Deck, then drift into dinner at Akira Back, the Michelin Guide recommended Japanese Korean concept where dishes arrive with flair and follow through on flavour. Later, slip into Aether, a discreet speakeasy tucked behind closed doors that feels like a secret worth keeping. It trades the beachside buzz for low lighting, layered cocktails, and a mood that leans sultry and slow. Perfect for date nights, nightcaps, or simply vanishing into the moment.

If views are your thing, make a plan for SoBe. The rooftop setting pulls in every colour of the sunset and matches it with a cocktail menu that balances fun with finesse. It’s social, but never chaotic. A place to watch the light fade with friends, a date, or just your thoughts.

By day, WET Deck becomes the hotel’s social heartbeat, with full access as part of the W Summer Escape package. The pool is perfectly chilled to counter the summer heat, making it an inviting place to settle in, cool off, and let time slip by. Some guests keep it low key on shaded beds with iced drinks and quiet playlists, while others drift toward the DJ booth, where the tempo invites movement. Whether you’re sunbathing, people watching, or easing into a second round of drinks, there’s a rhythm here that matches every mood. And if you prefer the sand, a private stretch of beach is just steps away, with loungers and sea views that feel far from city life.

For those who like their staycations with a side of movement, the FIT Gym is anything but an afterthought. Open 24 hours and split between indoor and outdoor zones, it’s fully equipped with treadmills, free weights, rowing machines, and everything in between. There’s also aerial yoga and aqua boxing if you’re in the mood to mix things up. Whether you’re getting a full workout in or just balancing out the rest of the day, it has everything you need and nothing you don’t.
