There is something about water that cuts through the noise faster than most things can. The sound of it, the proximity to it, even the light it throws back at you on a clear afternoon. As we enter September and the summer season winds down, MOJEH Men makes a case for one last weekend near the water, from a beachfront suite to a waterside lunch and a spa built around the power of water itself.

Where To Eat
A waterfront afternoon has its own particular rhythm, and KIRA at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab compliments the feeling with a brand-new weekend lunch.

As for the menu, expect signatures including Cacio e Pepe, Chilean Seabass Risotto and crispy Wagyu Gyoza. Book Now
Where To Relax
Water is one of the most effective, ancient wellness tools there is. Banyan Tree Spa on Bluewaters Island has built its signature Rainforest Indulgence around exactly that principle. The 120-minute treatment begins on the Rainforest Trail, a hydrothermal circuit of steam rooms, saunas, themed showers and jacuzzis, before moving into a revitalising body scrub under the rainforest shower and closing with a massage of your choice.

What To Shop
Few objects in watchmaking have a more credible relationship with water than the Rolex Deepsea. Waterproof to 3,900 metres, the watch was built using the Ringlock system: patented architecture comprising thick sapphire crystal, a nitrogen-alloyed steel compression ring and a titanium case back that allows it to withstand extreme pressure. The Chromalight display ensures legibility in total darkness and the Cerachrom ceramic bezel resists corrosion and UV damage without compromising its colourway. Shop Now
