Dubai’s Most Unique Café: Farm-to-Table & Telework at The Growhouse

If you're looking for a unique, feel-good dining experience in Dubai, The Growhouse by One Life should be at the top of your list. Located in the heart of Alserkal Avenue, this café-meets-indoor-farm offers more than just fresh food—it's a space designed for creativity, community, and conscious living. ✨ Why I Loved It: Stepping inside feels like entering a lush, urban sanctuary. The industrial-style interiors contrast beautifully with overhead greenery from their in-house farm—yes, they literally grow produce right above your head! The atmosphere is peaceful and inspiring, and the team’s commitment to sustainability shows in every detail. 🥗 What to Try: - The kale & beetroot bowl: crisp, colorful, and harvested from their indoor farm. - The sea bass with grapes: unexpected and delicious. - And definitely grab a coffee: they take it seriously here. 💻 Highly Recommended for Teleworking: If you’re a digital nomad or just need a remote work spot for the day, this is the perfect place. The calm vibe, comfortable seating, strong Wi-Fi, and natural lighting make it ideal for getting work done without the usual café buzz. I spent a few hours here with my laptop and didn’t want to leave. 🧠 Useful Tips: - Mornings are best: quieter, with gorgeous light. - Bring your laptop: great for deep work or creative writing. - Check their event board – they host sustainability and farming workshops. - Make it a day trip: explore nearby galleries, cinemas, and creative studios. - How to Get There: Take a taxi or ride-share and ask for Alserkal Avenue, Al Quoz. It’s well-known locally. If using the metro, stop at Onpassive Metro Station (formerly Al Safa), then take a short taxi ride (around 10–15 minutes). The Growhouse blends food, sustainability, and community effortlessly. It’s not just about eating well—it’s about feeling connected to your environment. For conscious travelers, creatives, or anyone needing a peaceful place to recharge (or work!), this spot is a gem. #alserkalavenue #dubaieats #hiddengems #deliciousfood #newcafe #digitalnomad #traveltips #localfood

La Mer

La Mer Beach: Dubai’s Chic Coastal Hideaway 🏝️✨ Step into a pirate-inspired island vibe at La Mer, where stylish modern beach clubs meet retro charm and jaw-dropping sunset views. Perfect for a laid-back escape from Dubai’s bustle! Start your day by strolling the palm-lined boardwalk; snap those first “lost-at-sea” shots beside quirky pirate murals or the colorful cabanas. Must-do activities include lounging at the private beach area (ideal for luxe relaxation) and checking out the latest beach clubs—my tip: try the restaurants here, they’re trendy and new, serving up global bites with fresh sea breezes. For insta-worthy moments, time your visit near sunset and capture the golden glow behind beachfront swings or from the wooden jetty with the skyline as your backdrop. Practical visiting tips: Arrive by mid-afternoon for the best beach club energy and reserve a table if you want a spot at popular dining venues. The area is walkable and family-friendly, so you can explore at leisure (don’t forget your flip-flops as the sands heat up!). Open year-round, hours are 10:00-22:00 (Mon-Wed, Sun) and stay late on Thursday-Saturday (until midnight)—perfect for evening sunset sessions or after-dark chilling. Key precautions: Although La Mer is smaller than other Dubai beaches, it does get busy on weekends and evenings, especially for sunset. Parking is ample but fills quickly, so go early or use ride-share. Keep sunscreen handy; there’s little shade on the open sands. #Dubai #LaMerBeach #BeachVibes #SunsetSpots #TravelTips

Kite Beach

Your Splashy Escape at Kite Beach Dubai 🌊👙⛱️ Kite Beach is a hotspot for sun-lovers and action-seekers, boasting pristine sands, sporty vibes, and spectacular skyline views. After its recent makeover, the beach looks fresher than ever—perfect for a laid-back seaside day or an energetic watersports adventure! 🧭 How to Make the Most of Your Day: Start your day with a brisk walk along the new boardwalk, catching sea breezes and city views. Hit the waves—try paddleboarding or kite surfing if you’re looking for a thrill (do note: the waves can get stronger and the wind picks up, so hang on tight!). The sand here stays cooler compared to other city beaches, making it surprisingly comfy even in summer months. 🍦 Must-do Experiences: Fuel up at one of the quirky beachfront food trucks for a smoothie or fresh coconut water. Work up a sweat at outdoor gym zones or volleyball courts, then unwind in a shaded cabana. If you’ve packed goggles, the water’s perfect for a refreshing swim when the wind simmers down. 📸 Insta-worthy Angles: Snap the iconic Burj Al Arab peeking across the water, get action shots of kite surfers, or pose on the revamped walkways with candy-colored murals. Sunrise and sunset are absolute photo gold! 🎯 Handy Tips: Shade is limited, so bring a pop-up tent or umbrella. The best time for mellow waves and lighter wind is early morning. Watch for the occasional red flag warning if the waves turn rough. Free showers and clean changing rooms make it easy to freshen up after salty swims. #Dubai #KiteBeach #BeachVibes #TravelTips #UAE
