This year has been unlike any other, and much of the stress and disruption from schools and nurseries closing has fallen on the shoulders of parents – especially mothers.

Now that many kids are back at school and UAE mums can finally take a break from supervising summer activities and being interim teachers, it’s an opportunity for them to enjoy a little bit of time to themselves.

There are currently two pampering deals running exclusively for mums throughout the month of September at a couple of Dubai’s most luxurious beachside resorts.

#RitzMums

Mums can decompress from the past months’ tension with complimentary access to the private beach, shimmering pool and lush surrounds of the Ritz -Dubai in JBR.

Valid every weekday throughout September, #RitzMums can feel the sugary sand through their toes at the hotel’s exclusive beach, or chill out at the multiple pools and 400,000 square feet of landscaped gardens and walkways - including an adults-only pool at La Baie (yes! No kids for a change!) – all free of charge. Plus, mums can also benefit from 30% discount on all food and beverage and all spa treatments while there.

In order to avail the discount or free pool and beach access on weekdays until 30 September, Mums must mention #RitzMums. Reservations are required and the offer is limited to 10 mums per day on a first come first served basis.

Ritz-Carlton Dubai, JBR, complimentary beach and pool access and 30% off f&b and spa treatments for mums, call +971 4 318 6311 or email retail.dubai@ritzcarlton.com for more information.

Hilton Mums Club

Meanwhile the Hilton Dubai Jumeirah, also in JBR, is continuing its summer offer of cut-price access to their pool facilities for Dh50, all of which is redeemable on food and beverage at the resort.

Under-12s can also use the facilities free of charge, so if your little one is not yet at nursery or is still home-learning – or if you just want to take a dip with them to blow off some steam in the afternoon after school – then it’s an affordable luxury for the whole family.

Doors open at 8am every day if you want to beat the morning heat, and marketing agency TishTash will also be offering mum-friendly treats and activations at the resort on an ad hoc basis.

This offer is value only between Sundays and Wednesdays, until September 30.
