8 luxe-looking Dubai experiences that are secretly affordable
Let's be honest, who doesn't crave a bit of luxury now and then? Unfortunately, luxury often comes with a price tag that's enough to make your eyes water. But don't worry, you don't have to spend big to feel fancy—Dubai's packed with affordable spots that feel five-star. If you want to get a slice of the luxe life for a smidge of the price, check out some of our top recommendations below. Sail on an abra to your waterside restaurant (Credit: Supplied) Wind through Madinat Jumeirah on a traditional abra boat and look up at the views of the eternally swanky Burj Al Arab before arriving at Pai Thai. If arriving at a fancy restaurant on your own boat didn't feel expensive enough, you can dine on a budget by making the most of the lunch deal. Offering two courses for only Dhs150, sample some of the best Thai food in the city for less. Lunch deal Dhs150 (two courses), Dhs165 (three courses). Mon-Fri 12.30pm-2.30pm, Sun 12.30pm-5.30pm. Madinat Jumeirah, (800 323 232). Wander through Fashion Avenue (Credit: Supplied) You might not be able to buy anything, but you can still dress to impress and take a stroll through the most high-end stretch of Dubai Mall. Costing nothing at all, you can window shop at over 150 designer brands from Cartier and Dior to Gucci and Van Cleef & Arpels. If you want to soak up the smell of expensive designer wear, pull up a chair at Ladurée and sip on mocktails, special teas or Arabic coffee whilst nibbling on some rather pretty pastel-hued macarons, with flavours like cotton candy, salted caramel and honey pine tree. You might not be leaving laden with shopping bags, but you will leave with the feeling of being immersed in a designer lifestyle for an hour or two. Mon-Thurs 10am-midnight, Fri-Sun 10am-1am. Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai, (800 3822 46255). Have breakfast at Tiffany's (Credit: Tiffany and Co.) The diamonds in here are pretty expensive, but thankfully, a latte is not. Have your own Holly Golightly moment at the Blue Box Café in Dubai Mall and let art imitate life amidst Tiffany & Co.'s iconic turquoise décor while you sip on a macchiato or Passion de Fleurs white tea. Inspired by the brand's illustrious rich heritage, you can dive into your own Breakfast at Tiffany's movie and tuck into French toast, Blue Box Benedict with truffle, or avocado toast. You might end up spending more if you opt in for the whole breakfast menu — or even afternoon tea — but a quick caffeine fix can cost as little as Dhs23, and a small pastry won't dip into your savings too much, either. Open daily 10am-midnight. Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai, (04 250 4935). Use the 'Press for bubbly' button at Josette (Credit: Supplied) Book a table at the stunning, pink-infused restaurant to feel like you've been transported to Paris. This is one venue that is high on immersive feels. Enjoy the grand décor and get your finger on that 'Press for bubbly' button as soon as possible. That's because despite the ultra-luxe vibes at Josette, it actually has one of the cheapest glasses of bubbly in the city, priced at Dhs78. Oh, and did you know, Josette has its own custom-brand Brut Reserve NV, so you'll be sipping on something even more exclusive for under Dhs100. Mon-Fri 9am-1am, Sat-Sun 9am-3am. ICD Brookfield Place, DIFC, (04 275 2522). Eat breakfast in your own private pod (Credit:Supplied) For an ultra-private experience, book one of these stunning pods for the ultimate in experiential dining. While this kind of experience usually comes with a hefty price tag, not so here. These pods come with their own pretty tables, stunning views over JBR and Dubai Marina and, the best part, air-conditioning. Now launching an all-new breakfast menu, you can enjoy this private dining experience over your morning eggs for as little as Dhs49. Sit back and admire your pod alongside American style pancakes, chocolate fondant, avo on toast or even The Pods Breakfast Platter for under Dhs50. Breakfast available daily 8am-noon. The Pods, Bluewaters Island, (04 453 8994). Have a bubbly breakfast at Time Out Market (Credit: Time Out Market) There aren't many places that will give you this kind of view for this kind of price. Every Saturday and Sunday, start your day early with a weekend breakfast and a glass of bubbles at Time Out Market, where your fizz will only set you back Dhs45. Get a good seat on the terrace overlooking The Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa, and tuck into the likes of a Morning Glory Pizza from Pitfire or a Morning Sanger from Pickl. Sip and nibble for next to nothing as you enjoy the atmosphere in one of the most iconic spots in the city. Take a moonlight swim at Cloud 22 (Credit: Supplied) Sure, it's not exactly a bargain, but here's how to do it for less. A normal non-redeemable lounger at the Atlantis The Royal Cloud 22 pool would cost you Dhs650 on a weekend. But, if you take the evening pool and lounge pass, you can linger for three whole hours on this incredible rooftop overlooking Palm Jumeirah for just Dhs300. It might not be the cheapest bargain out there, but if you want an expensive-for-less-experience, then really is the way to do it. From Dhs300. From Thurs Apr 25, open every Thurs-Sat, 7-11pm. Cloud 22, Atlantis The Royal, Palm Jumeirah, (04 426 2700). Dine on a pier next to the Burj Al Arab (Credit: Onda by Pierchic) Pier Chic is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Dubai, with its tables stretching out into the sea and offering uninterrupted views of the Burj Al Arab. Serving up a range of Italian-inspired dishes, you can dress up and dine for a great deal on weekdays, when its lunch menu costs only Dhs150 for two courses. Think burrata, panzanella, pesto with fusilli and ricotta, homemade meatballs and tiramisu or panna cotta. It's not often you get to clink glasses at a restaurant-over-the-sea for so little. So savour the dishes, bespoke services and great prices. Sun-Thurs 5pm-midnight, Fri-Sat 5pm-1am. Pierchic, Jumeirah Al Qasr (800 323 232).

Baum und Pferdgarten Resort 2026 Collection
Holly Golightly frequently appears on designers' mood boards—but Audrey Hepburn's Breakfast At Tiffany's character is rarely (if ever) referenced alongside indie rock band Mazzy Star, as was the case for Baum und Pferdgarten's resort 2026 collection. 'Holly is very full of hope and life, and for us, Mazzy Star's music is more introverted,' the brand's co-founder Helle Hestehave explained in a preview. 'It was these two opposites [that] we found interesting to work with.' That sense of duality could be found quite literally in the use of black and white within the collection. Despite Golightly's much-cited black Givenchy dress, it was the latter color that symbolized the character's 'lightness,' from the opera coat printed with delicate pink roses to the matching shift dress and slip. On the other end of the spectrum, a black minidress adorned with oversized flowers reflected Mazzy Star's indie spirit ('we could easily see [lead singer Hope Sandoval] wearing it on stage, with her Dr. Martens,' co-founder Rikke Baumgarten said), along with the flannel outerwear and burgundy leather trousers. Inspirations aside, Hestehave and Baumgarten's latest collection doubled down on the hard-working staples we've seen from the pair in recent seasons. There's an eminently wearable navy duffle coat and matching midi-skirt; denim coordinates that can be styled together or apart; and the brand's signature leopard print. These all reflected Baum's successful pivot towards an older customer in the past year or so. 'We used to be much more [about] print[s] and puffs and bows, but we are in a place where we are much more focused on pieces that can go on for a longer time,' Baumgarten said.

Iconic Breakfast at Tiffany's brownstone hits market at $15 million
Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany once said: 'I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together' - and this might be the place for fans of the iconic 1961 film to do just that. If you want a slice of Hollywood history, this could be your chance, as the gorgeous Upper East Side brownstone made famous in Breakfast at Tiffany's is now up for sale. The turn-of-the-century townhouse, which was used as the façade for Audrey Hepburn's socialite character, Holly, has hit the market at $15 million. Though the interior scenes of the apartment were filmed on a studio lot, the home is still regarded as one of New York City 's most famous movie homes. The townhouse, located at 169 East 71st Street, is a landmarked, five-story residence and even has a sweet nod to the movie that made it famous featuring a Tiffany-blue door. The brownstone is also mere steps away from Tiffany's flagship Fifth Avenue store. As per the listing, the 4,465-square-foot five-story home features an elevator, fully built-out basement, and recently underwent an extensive three-year renovation - restoring the home with 'no expense spared.' The abode also has a 30-foot landscaped garden with custom latticework, two setback terraces, four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and three powder rooms, making it as iconic as the film. It could event function as a multi-family home, with a separate entrance in the garden for a second residence, featuring a den, a large bedroom, and an open kitchen. The home, which was built in 1910, features 10-foot ceilings and original architectural details, with the listing boasting that it 'blends seamlessly with refined upgrades.' There's no reason to even leave the house for a night out, with a bar area in the basement level featuring stone walls and a wine cellar with two Liebherr wine fridges. As per the listing, t he home was previously sold for $1.8 million in 2000 and for $5.9 million in 2012. TODAY also reported that the home was sold in 2015 for $7.4 million. In 2021, the entire townhouse was available for rent through the luxury rental site Inspirato, as per Town & Country. According to Inspirato's website, they are 'leaders' in luxury travel, offering exclusive access to a curated portfolio of luxury vacation homes, five-star hotel and resort partners, immersive adventures, and personalized trip planning. They publication reported that Inspirato Pass holders could rent the home for a $2,500 flat monthly fee. Inspirato Club members were reportedly required to pay a nightly fee, which was in addition to their typical $600-a-month subscription to the luxury rental site.

The New York City apartment from 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' is on the market for $15 million. It features a Tiffany-blue door.
The five-story apartment building seen in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is on sale for $15 million. The New York City brownstone served as the façade for Holly Golightly's apartment in exterior shots. It's one of the most iconic movie homes in the city and features a Tiffany-blue door. Break out those black sunglasses and pearls, because for the first time in decades, you could own a slice of New York City's cinematic history. The iconic New York brownstone that served as the façade for Holly Golightly's apartment in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is now up for grabs after hitting the market for $15 million on May 15. Though the interior scenes of the apartment were filmed on a studio lot, the home is still regarded as one of New York City's most famous movie homes. It also features one major homage to the 1961 film: a Tiffany-blue door that overlooks a quaint, tree-lined Upper East Side street just steps away from Tiffany's flagship Fifth Avenue store. Here's a look inside the iconic home. The Upper East Side home is one of the most famous in New York City, with a price tag to match. The five-story townhouse on East 71st Street could serve as a two-family home thanks to a separate apartment on the garden level. The listing said the home was previously sold for $1.88 million in 2000 and for $5.975 million in 2012. TODAY also reported that the home was sold in 2015 for $7.4 million, making the most recent listing price double what it last sold for. The home has undergone an extensive three-year renovation and restoration project. The home, which was built in 1910, features 10-foot ceilings and original architectural details. "They say you can't buy history. At 169 East 71st, you sort of can," the Corcoran listing reads. The front sitting room features a marble gas fireplace and chandeliers. Though the home's exterior is well-known as the site of Holly Golightly's small one-bedroom New York City apartment, filming never actually took place inside the townhouse. Instead, all of the interior shots, including the famous party scene, were filmed on a studio lot in California. Still, the home is just a short walk from Tiffany's flagship New York City location at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, meaning future owners could have breakfast there if they so desired. The actual townhouse has a layout that includes a parlor-level dining room. The historic townhouse has renovated details like white-oak herringbone floors and updated light fixtures to blend the home's original architecture with a more modern style. The kitchen features more herringbone wood flooring and a marble mosaic backsplash imported from Italy. The chef's kitchen has luxe features like Calacatta Gold marble countertops, a six-burner Wolf range stove with vented hood, a Sub-Zero fridge, and custom cabinets. It has four bedrooms across its five floors. The third floor of the townhouse has two bedrooms, both of which have en-suite bathrooms and 9-foot-tall ceilings. The primary suite occupies the entirety of the fourth floor. The primary bedroom has a gas fireplace with an antique mantel and a separate dressing area with a vanity. In "Breakfast at Tiffany's," the main character, Holly, has a bathtub in the middle of her living room. The primary bathroom of the real-life townhouse has a freestanding soaking tub made with polished nickel, a walk-in shower, and Calacatta Gold Damask-patterned marble. There's a large terrace off the primary suite. The terrace spans 247 square feet and overlooks the Upper East Side. The garden level acts as a secondary residence that future owners could rent out. The one-bedroom apartment features exposed brick walls, a den, and a full kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. One impressive feature of the home is the large fenced-in garden. The townhouse has an elevator to get between the home's multiple stories. In the basement level, there's a bar area with stone walls and a wine cellar with two Liebherr wine fridges. Town & Country reported that in 2021, the entire townhouse was available for rent through the rental site Inspirato. Inspirato Pass holders could rent the home for a $2,500 flat monthly fee. Inspirato Club members were required to pay a nightly fee in addition to their typical $600-a-month subscription to the luxury rental site. While the price might sound steep, the outlet reported that the rental included concierge services and a "stocked fridge." New owners will have to stock their own fridge — though for someone buying a home with a listing price of $15 million, that shouldn't be too much of a stretch.
