High-end Dubai nightspot Movida has unveiled a brand new look for the new season.
The Sheikh Zayed Road club has enjoyed an interior overhaul during the summer break, as well as introducing a new-and-improved Function One soundsystem and new Madrix flashing lights.
Dubbing itself “Movida 2.0”, the refurb also includes a new DJ booth and a 100-capacity members’ only room for high-rollers.
An off-shoot of the exclusive London nightspot of the same name, Movida opened at the Radisson Royal in December 2011.
• Movida is open Wednesday to Saturday, for table bookings and reservations call 055 174 4449 or email bookings@movida-dubai.com.

Key recommendations
- Fewer criminals put behind bars and more to serve sentences in the community, with short sentences scrapped and many inmates released earlier
- Greater use of curfews and exclusion zones to deliver tougher supervision than ever on criminals.
- Explore wider powers for judges to punish offenders by blocking them from attending football matches, banning them from driving or travelling abroad through an expansion of ‘ancillary orders’.
- More Intensive Supervision Courts to tackle the root causes of crime such as alcohol and drug abuse – forcing repeat offenders to take part in tough treatment programmes or face prison.
