After you’re done with your workout, indulge in a well-earned healthy meal at the beach and enjoy the cool weather at one of Kite Beach’s flavourful restaurants such as Park House, LaOla and SKMD.

On another level,  La Mer, the world-class beachfront destination by Meraas, will host a series of activations for visitors big and small that feature everything from kids’ activities to an outdoor retail market and roaming entertainment.

If you spend AED100 at La Mer during this period, you can drop your children off at Playtime Island from 4pm to 10pm on weekdays and from 11am to 11pm on weekends. A boat simulation experience will take them on a sea adventure, followed by beach ball racing and human ring toss that put their balancing skills and sense of aim to the test, and provide some healthy competition.  

Over the three weekends, the little adventurers will also enjoy a large sized island bouncy castle that is sure to have them jumping for joy. They can also try their hand at making ocean slime, playdough art or seashell decorations at mini workshops.
