If you are looking for something beyond dinner and a movie on a Friday in Dubai, a weekly Sip & Paint session at Vida Emirates Hills offers a structured way to relax and create. The concept brings together a guided art activity, social atmosphere, and food and beverages, with the emphasis on a low-pressure evening rather than formal instruction.
Running every Friday from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, Sip & Paint: Le sōlienne, A Night of Expression is positioned as a repeatable plan for locals and visitors who want an outlet for creativity without needing prior experience.
What the weekly Sip & Paint session includes
The event is designed around a guided session led by a mentor. Participants are provided with all art supplies, which lowers the barrier to entry for first-timers and helps keep the evening straightforward.
Alongside the creative activity, the organizers outline a package format that includes curated music to set the mood, and a food and beverage component.
Pricing and package options
Two pricing options are listed:
- AED 320 per person, including food and house beverages
- AED 275 per person, including food and soft beverages
In both options, attendees can expect curated beats and the art materials needed for the session, as well as a set time window for the evening.
Why Sip & Paint events keep finding an audience in Dubai
Dubai has steadily expanded its calendar of social events that combine entertainment with an activity component. Sip & Paint formats fit this demand because they are:
- Accessible, since art supplies are typically provided and the session is guided.
- Social, designed for groups or friends looking for a shared experience.
- Predictable, because the event runs weekly and becomes part of a routine.
For hospitality venues, these events also create repeat footfall outside peak dinner hours, while offering a differentiator that is easier to market than one-off entertainment. For attendees, the value proposition is simple, you get a planned activity, a venue experience, and a chance to meet people or enjoy time with friends.
Where and when to go
The session takes place at Vida Emirates Hills, with the schedule set for every Friday, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
Bookings and further details are available through Vida Hotels and Resorts’ website for the offer.
How to decide if it’s the right fit
While the event is framed as an evening of expression, it is still a structured class with a mentor. It may be a strong option if you want:
- a guided creative activity with materials provided
- a convenient Friday plan that does not require advanced planning
- an environment that blends art and social hospitality
As with any ticketed event, it is worth checking the current booking terms before attending. The organizers recommend the venue’s offer page for the most up-to-date information.
