8 places to experience your favourite travel destinations in the UAE
Jet set, stay put… No flights? No problem. From a Santorini escape to a Broadway night out, we've found global getaways hiding in plain sight for you – right here in the UAE. Here are 8 places to experience your favourite travel destinations in the UAE this summer. Chicago, USA: The Butcher and Still, Four Seasons Abu Dhabi Hotel A Chicago steakhouse in Abu Dhabi? That's exactly what The Butcher & Still delivers – but with the finesse you'd expect from the Four Seasons. As you descend into this Prohibition-era venue, the transformation is instant with a roaring Twenties soundtrack that would make Al Capone nod in approval. The menu is pure Windy City energy – dry-aged beef, Kansas City strip loins, and a wedge salad you'll need two hands to tackle. What really makes the place sing, though, is The Hideaway – a secret underground dining room accessible via a private elevator, that feels like you're entering a gangster's vault. Dimly lit, richly detailed, and effortlessly cool, it's a dining experience that plays the nostalgia card hard – and wins . Dress sharp, order a Manhattan, and let the immersive magic do the rest. @butcherandstill Lima, Peru: COYA Abu Dhabi COYA is what happens when Peruvian soul food, high-end hospitality, and serious swagger converge. This Abu Dhabi outpost of the global COYA brand is one of the city's most vibrant destinations, and it's got the awards to prove it. As soon as you enter, it's a Latin American explosion – colour, sound, spice. The menu includes ceviches, charred anticuchos, perfectly-grilled meats, and cocktails that balance fire and flair (hello, pisco sour). Artworks line the walls, live DJ sets pulse through the evenings, and there's a bar culture here that deserves its own passport. They even have their own playlist – just try not to Shazam everything between bites (we tried – and failed). It's the kind of place you start with dinner and end with dancing, all while feeling like you've stumbled into a chic Lima lounge party. If you can't fly to South America, this might be the next best thing. @coyaabudhabi Cape Town, South Africa: Flamingo Room by tashas Flamingo Room doesn't whisper luxury – it roars it. Located at Jumeirah Al Naseem in Dubai and The Galleria Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi, it's the ultimate ode to African elegance with just the right splash of maximalism. From the oversized animal sculptures to the pink velvet chairs and the gold-leaf finishes, the space is meticulously curated – every surface has a story, every detail a wink to the wild. The menu blends global chic with South African roots. Think king crab tagliatelle, burrata with heirloom tomatoes, and seriously good cocktails that come dressed to impress. And then there's Collective Africa, the in-house concept store that offers everything from curated fashion to décor pieces that make a statement. Come for the Instagram shots, stay for the details, and leave with a shopping bag full of 'souvenirs'. @flamingoroomae New York, USA: Broadway Brasserie & Bar, Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental What if Manhattan's theatre district met Middle Eastern opulence? That's exactly the mash-up on offer at Broadway Brasserie & Bar, the glittering, jazz-hands-worthy venue inside the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental. From exposed brick and dramatic lighting to actual stage performances in the private dining theatre, it's a place where your dinner comes with a spotlight. The menu fuses classic American and European brasserie favourites, from seared scallops and short ribs to truffled mac and cheese. It's comfort food – but make it couture. The bar plays with cocktail classics (with a Broadway twist, of course), and live entertainment fills the air with Broadway bops and classy cabaret. Whether you're here for a romantic date, a night out, or just to feel a little fabulous, the energy is infectious. Dress up, grab a cocktail called 'The Curtain Call,' and prepare to be entertained from appetiser to encore. @ Santorini, Greece: Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat Think you need a Schengen visa for a Greek island fix? Think again. Less than an hour outside Abu Dhabi, off Exit 399, sits one of the most jaw-dropping resort properties in the country: Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat. With its blinding white architecture, infinity pools, and Aegean-style serenity, it's the Greek escape you didn't know was just a road trip away. This boutique, adults-only haven has just 22 rooms, each one designed with minimalistic luxury and beach-facing tranquility. Many suites open directly onto the sand, giving you that barefoot-luxury vibe with Arabian Gulf views. The restaurants, Oia and Thalassa, serve Mediterranean fine dining with a UAE twist, while Anantara Spa offers everything from Thai massages to Greek olive oil facials. Time slows down, emails can wait, and sunset comes with a side of serenity. Bucket list-worthy? 100 per cent. @anantarasantorini Bangkok, Thailand: Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi Hotel A grand hotel with Thai soul, Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi delivers a staycation with depth – and a whole lot of décor. From the moment you arrive, a wave of calm rolls over you: orchids everywhere, soothing music, and a signature scent wafting through the lobby that could make even your most stressful day melt away. Rooms are plush, spacious, and drenched in Thai design, but the real reason to visit is Benjarong – their fine-dining Thai restaurant that's a favourite with in-the-know locals. Expect intricately-presented dishes, ingredients flown in from Bangkok, and service that feels like a gentle art form. You'll also want to carve out time for the Namm Spa, which pairs Thai wellness traditions with modern treatments (don't skip the Thai herbal compress massage or the Hammam). It's a tranquil temple to Thai hospitality – no jet lag, just jasmine tea and good vibes. @dusitthaniabudhabi Polynesia: Lapita, Dubai Parks and Resorts What is Polynesia, anyway? Wikipedia tells us it is 'a subregion of Oceania, made up of over 1,000 islands scattered over the central and southern Pacific Ocean.' And that sounds about right. Lapita, Dubai Parks and Resorts, Autograph Collection makes you want to stop and stare the second you get there. Then, you're inclined to hop on a golf cart and take a tour of the sprawling resort, while you take in all of its Polynesian grandeur that's reflected in everything from motifs and design like wooden carvings and lava stone, to natural wood and bamboo materials, as well as an open, almost garden-like layout that will have you flagging down buggies for the fun of it. The theme continues in their restaurants Kalea and Hikina, and ingredients like coconut, pineapple and oceanic fare really up the islander factor here. Great for weddings. @lapitahoteldubai Giza, Egypt: Wafi City, Dubai You can't miss Wafi City – literally. The pyramid-shaped structure looms over the Al Jadaf area of Dubai like a beacon of ancient Egyptian grandeur, complete with towering obelisks, temple-style facades, and wall carvings that pay homage to the dynasties of old. Inside, Wafi City is a bustling hybrid of a shopping centre, hospitality hub, and cultural playground. From fashion boutiques and Egyptian-themed restaurants to the recently-revamped Wafi Gourmet, there's something here for every pharaoh wannabe. There's even a spa offering ancient Egyptian-inspired treatments, because why shouldn't you feel like Cleopatra on a Tuesday? @waficitydubai Provence, France: French Village, Riverland Dubai Tucked inside Riverland Dubai is a whimsical pocket of France that looks like it's been lifted straight out of a storybook. The French Village is designed to mirror 16th century Dijon – cobblestoned paths, crooked alleyways, rustic stone buildings, and all. There's a river running through it, and the entire area is peppered with charming cafes, street performers, boutique shops, and accordion music that feels straight out of a Parisian rom-com. It's ridiculously photogenic, especially during golden hour, and perfect for a slow meander, or a cheese platter. On cooler nights, the whole place comes alive with live acts, markets, and even themed festivals. It's charming, theatrical, and delightfully French – minus the airport queues and exchange rates. It's basically Provence with parking. @riverlanddubai Images: What's On archive With contributions from Laura Coughlin

Palm before storm: Aldo Comas at COYA Dubai explores life's duality
COYA Dubai has launched a new three-month exhibition titled Jungle and Chaos. It has been created exclusively for the venue by Spanish multidisciplinary artist, Aldo Comas. Unveiled on May 16 and on view till March at COYA Dubai, Four Seasons Resort, Jumeirah, the collection has been crafted to reflect the spirit of the UAE by drawing on desert landscapes, palm trees, and the region's energy. Comas was present on the opening night, where he met guests and shared personal insights into the works on display. A sumptuous dinner followed the inaugural, where Latin American cuisine inspired by Peru, completed the cultural journey for those present and initiated it for those yet to come. In Jungle and Chaos, Comas explores the palm tree as a recurring motif (he describes it as a 'poetic flag of identity'), capturing imagined paradises, visual memory, and the poignant nostalgia of fleeting beauty. Rendered in burnt tones and soft pastels, each work invites serious reflection, even as it enhances COYA's ambience and energy. 'Humbled by the great event in @coyadubai,' said Comas. 'Thanks to everyone that was part of such an incredible art show. Jungle & Chaos was an absolute success and I'm in love with Dubai vibe and its people. Here is some info on my new collection: Jungle & Chaos is a visceral, untamed journey through the rawest corners of the human psyche and the primal beauty of nature. Composition titled Jungle Love. 'In this collection, Aldo Comas abandons any pretension of control and dives headfirst into the fertile collision between instinct and intellect — between the jungle and the chaos that lives within us all. Each piece pulses with wild emotion, layering textures and symbols in a language that is both ancient and intensely personal. You'll find animal totems emerging from tangled brushstrokes, mythological figures bleeding into tropical fever dreams, and the echoes of Schopenhauer's worldview vibrating beneath every gesture. Jungle & Chaos is not a place. It is a state — a space where civilisation collapses and something more truthful rises from the wreckage. These works are not meant to be understood at first glance. They are meant to be felt, fought with, returned to. The chaos is not decoration. It's confession.' As with all of Aldo's work, this series is autobiographical, even in its most symbolic moments. It reflects the inner landscapes of a soul shaped by beauty, violence, memory, and rebellion. From the lush madness of the jungle to the carefully curated disorder of his canvas, Aldo invites us into a world where instinct is sacred, chaos is a form of clarity, and art is the only real map. Comas is a contemporary artist born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. He is a painter, sculptor and conceptual storyteller, whose work navigates the space between the figurative and the neo-expressionist. Drawing inspiration from pop culture, philosophy, visual memory, advertising aesthetics and reinvented memories, his pieces are rooted in emotional exotica and the symbols of freedom, all expressed in confident, jazzy strokes. A while ago, he decided to focus exclusively on painting - and his work has not ceased to surprise since. His signature is that in each of his paintings, he shows a duality that, according to him, reflects the 'modus operandi of life itself'. His work narrates stories of the contradictions of modernity and the nostalgia that accompanies it. Comas has exhibited internationally and brings a deeply personal, ever-evolving artistic vision – one shaped not only by creative exploration, but also by his unique lifestyle as a professional skydiver, with over 8,000 jumps to his credit. Since the COYA exhibition remains on display for three months, it offers guests an extended opportunity to engage with his works, which are also available for purchase. Aldo Comas surveys the world. For COYA Dubai, Comas presents a selection from his palm tree collection – a recurring motif in his work that evokes dreamlike landscapes, imagined paradises and the delicate nostalgia of fleeting beauty. Each palm is a visual statement: a ruin of paradise, a pop icon, or a poetic flag of identity. COYA Dubai, established in 2014 at the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach, strives to transcend the traditional restaurant experience. It offers an immersive voyage through the rich tapestry of Latin American and Peruvian culture, where culinary innovation meets captivating art, and throbbing music. Known for refreshing its art displays quarterly, COYA Dubai's ambience seamlessly merges contemporary design with Latin American and Peruvian influences. Stimulating artworks and installations adorn every corner, transforming the space into a living canvas that celebrates the fusion of cultures. Refurbished in 2022, the venue includes unique elements such as Peruvian antique mirrors, gilded hand-carved wooden panels, Inca carvings, wrought iron screening details, and plush Italian fabric wallpapers. The heartbeat of COYA Dubai could be said to be its music, where acoustic melodies and infectious Latin American beats curated by internationally acclaimed artists and DJs of COYA MUSIC create a transformative atmosphere, inviting guests to connect with each rhythm. With venues in Mayfair, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, London City, Monte Carlo, Marbella, Mykonos, Doha, Riyadh, Muscat and Barcelona, COYA offers an odyssey into the very heart of Latin America. COYA Dubai earned a coveted spot in the 2023 Middle East & North Africa's 50 Best Restaurants guide. It has transformed its space into an ever-evolving gallery, seamlessly blending immersive hospitality with creative expression, continuing its commitment to cultural immersion in Dubai.

Coya Therapeutics to Participate at the H.C. Wainwright 3 rd Annual BioConnect Investor Conference
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Coya Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: COYA) ('Coya' or the 'Company'), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing biologics intended to enhance regulatory T cell (Treg) function, announces that it will participate in the H.C. Wainwright 3 rd Annual BioConnect Conference being held in New York City on Tuesday, May 20, 2025. Chief Executive Officer Arun Swaminathan, Ph.D. will participate in a fireside chat and be available for one-on-one meetings throughout the event. To schedule a one-on-one meeting with management, please contact meetings@ The live and archived webcast will be accessible from the Company's website at under the Investor Relations section - Events and Presentations. The replay of the webcast will be accessible for 90 days. About Coya Therapeutics, Inc. Headquartered in Houston, TX, Coya Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: COYA) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing proprietary treatments focused on the biology and potential therapeutic advantages of regulatory T cells ('Tregs') to target systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation. Dysfunctional Tregs underlie numerous conditions, including neurodegenerative, metabolic, and autoimmune diseases, and this cellular dysfunction may lead to sustained inflammation and oxidative stress resulting in lack of homeostasis of the immune system. Coya's investigational product candidate pipeline leverages multiple therapeutic modalities aimed at restoring the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions of Tregs. Coya's therapeutic platforms include Treg-enhancing biologics, Treg-derived exosomes, and autologous Treg cell therapy. COYA 302 – the Company's lead biologic investigational product or "Pipeline in a Product" – is a proprietary combination of COYA 301 (Coya's proprietary LD IL-2) and CTLA4-Ig for subcutaneous administration with a unique dual mechanism of action that is now being developed for the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Frontotemporal Dementia, Parkinson's Disease, and Alzheimer's Disease. Its multi-targeted approach enhances the number and anti-inflammatory function of Tregs and simultaneously lowers the expression of activated microglia and the secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators. This synergistic mechanism may lead to the re-establishment of immune balance and amelioration of inflammation in a sustained and durable manner that may not be achieved by either low-dose IL-2 or CTLA4-Ig alone.
