The biggest names in luxury fashion continue to take over beach clubs around the world this summer season. A fusion of luxury and leisure, these iconic names, both in the fashion and hospitality industries, are redefining summer indulgence.
Here, Emirates Woman rounds up the places to see and be seen in, with each takeover presenting an opportunity to relax and explore the brand's heritage through an unparalleled experience. Dior at Il Riccio Capri – Capri, Italy
Set over the Blue Grotto, the exclusive Dior terrace at this cliffside seafood restaurant Il Riccio Capri gets a fresh makeover each year adorned with the French maison's iconic signature details, offering guests at Jumeirah Capri Palace a taste of Capri's delights – think: spaghettoni pasta and rich tiramisu. Dolce&Gabbana at Clap House Ibiza – Ibiza, Spain
The world-class dining venue, offering contemporary Japanese cuisine, on the White Isle, plays host to one of Dolce&Gabbana's exclusive takeovers for 2025. Located in the Talamanca area, Dolce&Gabbana unconventionally reinterprets the iconic Leopard print, as it adorns the beach club's furnishings, establishing an atmosphere that is both elegant and fierce. For the occasion, an exclusive pop-up store offers a selection of Dolce&Gabbana clothing and accessories for an authentic Italian summer experience.
Jacquemus at Monte-Carlo Beach – Cap-Martin, France
No one does a chic beach club takeover like Simon Porter. The French fashion label has taken its Riviera spirit to the iconic seaside club, the Monte-Carlo Beach Club, until October 7, 2025. For this partnership, the legendary pier and pool café has been transformed with playful touches of Jacquemus's signature aesthetic, inspired by the 'La Croisière' collection, and has set up two pop-up boutiques for serious shopping sessions.
Loro Piana at Reserve a la Plage – Saint Tropez, France
Italian luxury fashion brand, Loro Piana, is bringing its sophisticated touch to La Réserve à la Plage for the third consecutive year, offering a sublime sun-drenched experience along Pampelonne Beach. The beach club is decked with the brand's signature earthy tones and motifs from the umbrellas, sunbeds, and cushions, while a pop-up boutique features a curated selection of ready-to-wear clothing and accessories inspired by the Venetian Lagoon from the Resort 2025 collection.
Burberry at The Standard, Ibiza – Ibiza, Spain
Open until October 2025, Burberry collaborates with The Standard, Ibiza, for a joyful takeover of the hotel's seasonal rooftop bar and restaurant, UP. Blending style, escapism, and an unmistakable British attitude, custom design takes over UP with loungers, parasols, and branded seating – and even sails the coast on Check Mate, a Burberry boat making waves along the Ibiza shoreline.
Inside, a branded photo booth in the lobby invites guests to capture their summer in style, and guests can enjoy a curated edit of summer staples for those who are in the mood to shop – from lightweight layers to sun-ready separates grounded in Burberry house codes.
Missoni Resort Club at OKU Ibiza – Ibiza, Spain
Located within the renowned OKU Ibiza, an iconic hotel destination on the island, the Missoni Resort Club brings the Italian fashion house's signature technicolour aesthetic to one of the island's most buzzed-about hotspots. The hotel's 50-metre swimming pool has been transformed into a vibrant destination inspired by the Mediterranean seascape, and the setting is further enhanced by custom-designed sunbeds, towels, and soft furnishings, creating a refined poolside atmosphere that captures the laidback, free-spirited nature of the island.
Jacquemus at Jondal – Ibiza, Spain
Set along the crystalline coastline, the loved locale becomes the canvas for Jacquemus. Re-designed and meticulously branded, Jondal embodies the Provençal DNA of the French fashion label. Sunbeds, parasols, cushions, towels, and other decorative items – including a bespoke petanque court – are decked in a colour palette of soft yellow, terracotta, and sandy neutrals and adorned with signature elements from the 'La Croisière' collection. For some leisure island hopping, the charming on-site pop-up boutique houses a limited-edition capsule collection, featuring selections for women, men, and accessories in exclusive colourways and prints.

How to choose the right preschool for your child in Dubai
Did you know that the best time of year to enroll your child in nursery is September? At least that's what the Early Years learning experts at Kids First Group, Dubai's leading education group say. In fact, if your child starts from the very first term rather than later on, they can fully experience the settling-in-period with other children, establish routines, and build friendships — especially if they're new to a nursery environment. What's more, you can also avoid the long waiting lists as nurseries fill up by term two. So to help you decide on which nursery is the best for you and your child, here are some of Dubai's most talked about options from Kids First Group. What's more, these nurseries come highly praised from parents in your position, so rest assured whichever you choose, makes an educated option Odyssey Nursery Why parents love it: It's multilingual, creative, and nature-inspired Parents rave about the languages their children are exposed to at Odyssey, with native French and Arabic-speaking teachers and assistants on hand. The strong sense of community and parent involvement is also a highlight. Following the American early learning curriculum, the nursery is recognised as a progressive and accountable system for early years' development. At Odyssey, classrooms are seen as an extension of your child's world, bringing the outside indoors and using natural resources for sensory learning. Part of the Reggio Emilia group of nurseries, its concept of 'The 100 Languages of Children' prides itself on its diverse teaching style with nature, creativity and so much more.

Willow combines the best of two systems: the UK EYFS curriculum and the child-led learning approach of Reggio Emilia. Whether you choose its nursery located in the heart of the city's business district like ONE Central or opt for its Umm Suqeim location, Willow Nursery stays true to its values and identity with lots of natural environments for free play and exploration. Locations in Dubai: Umm Suqeim, ONE Central, Dubai Marina (800 WILLOW). Redwood Center of Excellence Why parents love it: Innovative curriculum, state-of-the-art facilities, and the only International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme preschool in the UAE The newest and largest preschool of the bunch, Redwood Center of Excellence (Redwood COE) has gained significant popularity in a short time, including setting a UAE record with its offering of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme from age three years and older.
