The Very Best Spots For A First Date in Dubai

Looking to impress on a first date? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Dubai has some great date night opportunities. Here are a few of our favourites!

Dining in the Dark

For a truly unique first date experience, try a blindfolded dinner that helps you discover the full potential of your taste buds! You’ll get a three-course gastronomical journey and a drink to enjoy with your date. This is definitely an experience that won’t be forgotten in a hurry, so if you want to give your date a night to remember, this is the one!

The Tasting Class

Go for pure sophistication with a wine-tasting first date! The Tasting Class offers a selection of wine-tasting experiences in various locations throughout Dubai. There is no better way to get to know each other than over a few glasses of grape! We recommend the Argentinian Asado & Grape night. You’ll enjoy a multi-course dinner of perfectly grilled meats paired with Argentina’s best grape varieties.

TopGolf

For a first date that combines food, drinks and sport, give Top Golf a try! You can start with dinner and drinks to warm yourselves up, then head to the bays for a round of golf or two. If you don’t mind your date seeing your competitive side, this kind of activity is a great way to get to know each other and have some laughs along the way.

Wavehouse

Wavehouse is the perfect spot to experience a load of date night activities all under one roof! You can start with a delicious meal from the international menu, then hit the bowling alley and arcade for some fun and games. Finish the night with drinks on the outdoor terrace overlooking Atlantis resort and listening to some live music. What’s not to love?

3D Mini Golf

If you want something a bit more casual for your first date, a couple of rounds of 3D minigolf is a great way to have some fun and show off your skills. The unique experience takes place in a stunning blacklight indoor minigolf course with hand-painted 3D art covering the walls and ceilings. The course is on JBR, so if you’re not quite ready for the date to end, you can pop to the Hilton across the road and grab a few drinks at Trader Vics or McGettigans.

Blacklight Minigolf, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Bahar Plaza Level. Tickets are AED 110 per person. For bookings and more information, visit https://3d-blacklight-minigolf.com/

Cala Beach

If you’d like to go down the more traditional route of a romantic dinner with a gorgeous view, book your date night at Cala Beach at Jumeirah Beach Hotel. This stunning Tuscan restaurant is on the beach with beautiful views of the Burj Al Arab. The food and wine list are unbeatable, so you can sit on the beach with your toes in the sand, enjoying a great meal and (hopefully) some great company!
