A Coastal Love Story in Dubai
When summer fades everywhere else, Dubai begins its most beautiful chapter.
Inspired by The Summer I Turned Pretty, the series that captured hearts with its sunlit nostalgia and beachside romance, Dubai Luxury Picnics by Picnic Times brought that same feeling to life right here on the sands of Dubai.
This edition wasn’t about recreating a TV scene. It was about designing an experience that carries that same energy, effortless, sunlit, and emotionally familiar, but through the lens of Dubai’s own charm.

The Inspiration: The Summer I turned Pretty Picnic Edition Dubai, More Than a Trend
What makes The Summer I Turned Pretty resonate isn’t just the story; it’s the feeling it gives you.
Small moments, a song, a glance, a sunset, stick with you. That’s exactly what inspired this picnic edition: to create a space that feels cinematic yet real, stylish yet approachable, where every little detail tells its own story.
Picnic Times has always been about more than décor; it’s about how a moment feels. This setup was designed to make guests feel present, connected, and surrounded by quiet, effortless beauty.
The Design: Where Screen Romance Meets Dubai’s Shores
For this coastal edition, we curated a minimalist, nostalgic aesthetic:
• A palette of soft neutrals and warm sand tones reflecting Dubai’s coastline.
• Textured linens, vintage baskets, and fine tableware that feel timeless.
• Custom napkins marked Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah, a subtle nod for fans, adding personality while keeping elegance intact.
Every element had purpose. Nothing loud or forced, just layers of thoughtful design that mirror the natural rhythm of the sea.
The Experience: Where Dubai Turns Pretty
Imagine this: your best friend, blankets on the sand, baskets packed with all the little treats, coffee in hand, and endless chatter about the show, who’s team Conrad, who’s team Jeremiah, and every little scene you can’t stop thinking about. Soft sunlight, waves in the background, and just that relaxed, happy energy that makes you forget the rest of the world.
Furry friends are always welcome to join the fun and soak up the picnic vibes too.
It’s simple, fun, and honestly, totally Insta-worthy, the kind of beach morning you actually want to live in.
That’s the magic of a Dubai luxury picnic: a space that feels personal, playful, and full of little joys.
How to Recreate the Look

• Stick to a neutral color palette, ivory, white , soft blue.
• Add organic textures, linen, rattan, natural wood.

Dubai’s Endless Summer
This edition reminded us that “summer” isn’t just a season; it’s a feeling. And in Dubai, that feeling doesn’t end with the calendar. It evolves, into soft evenings, golden skies, and gatherings that feel personal, cinematic, and unforgettable all at once.
The Summer I Turned Pretty Picnic Edition was our quiet love letter to the season that never truly leaves Dubai.
