Sometimes, all you and your pooch need is a little break from the daily routine and a chance to escape somewhere a little more relaxing.
And nothing beats a good staycation that requires you to sleep in till late, lounge by the pool and go for scenic walks around the block with your pet. This is where Vida Hotels and Resorts come in. With four pet-friendly hotels across the UAE, you can choose a staycation that matches your mood, whether you’re after poolside relaxation or a city escape.
A Sunday ritual at Riina

Feeling creative? Head on out to Riina this Sunday to paint a portrait of your furry friend. It’s a relaxing guided session with a pro that’ll be with you from the beginning until the last brushstroke – so don’t worry if you aren’t artistically inclined. The experience can be enjoyed for just Dhs300 which includes a pre-sketched canvas, brushes, paints, aprons and an array of canapés and a beverage.
There are limited spots – so don’t forget to book your spot.
A splash of fun by the Dubai Islands Beach

While temperatures continue to soar, it’s only fair for you to take your dog for a little chill splashdown. This is your chance to unleash (we couldn’t resist the pun) the wild side of your pup and let them enjoy the fun things this city has to offer.
The Dubai Islands Beach is the first and only beach dedicated to pets to run around unleashed, well-equipped with waste stations, pet showers and agility gear.
A relaxing pet spa at Pawdy Neighbors

Dubai always makes it a point to take things to the next level and one such place is Pawdy Neighbors.
Spoil your (probably already spoilt) pet with a relaxing spa day designed to leave them feeling fresh and pampered. And, as they finish up on the little pamper sesh, you can pop by their bistro for a fine dining experience with your pet. If you think that’s all, think again. This place also houses a luxury pet boarding or as they like to call it, a ‘Pawtel’ – where you can drop off your pets while you’re away from home.
Take a nature hike with your four-legged bestie

If your dog loves exploring, these scenic trails make for a memorable day out (weather permitting).
Wadi Shawka and Wadi Modaynah Dam are scenic hiking trails dedicated just for the doggos. With rugged terrains, natural pools and the much-needed fresh air, your dog is about to have a field day. And the best part about these trails is that your pets are free to run around to their hearts’ content – unleashed.
