We get it—life’s busy, schedules are packed, and adulting is hard. But spending quality time with your bestie is essential and absolutely non-negotiable.
We need the heart-to-heart convos, spontaneous laughter, and adventures that only come with hanging out with your ride-or-die. From cozy cafes to fun indoor activities, these places are perfect for making unforgettable memories with your BFF.
So, to help you out, we’ve rounded up the cutest and most exciting spots in Riyadh for your next bestie date.
Private Pilates
📍An Nada.
Swap out your usual coffee runs and brunch dates for something that gets your heart racing—literally. We’re talking about a private gym sesh at Fitpod, where you and up to three of your BFFs can sweat it out.
Fitpod has two pods that are basically your own mini gym for the hour. If you’re into weight training and want to feel like a boss, Pod One is where you’ll want to flex those muscles. Prefer something a bit more zen but still want to feel the burn? Pod Two is all about Pilates vibes, where you can stretch, tone, and perfect that form together.

Spa Day
📍Hilton Riyadh Hotel & Residences.
Planning a bestie day out in Riyadh? You deserve a whole day of pampering, poolside lounging, and non-stop girl talk. Eforea Spa is *the* the place to be if you’re looking to unwind. It offers everything from facials and massages to hair, makeup, and mani-pedis. But that’s not all—there’s also an indoor pool with a jacuzzi on the side, just waiting for you to take a dip. And if you’re feeling extra, why not sweat it out in the steam room before you make a splash?
Try Cereal Ice Cream
📍 Prince Turki bin Abdulaziz Al Thani Street.
If you and your BFF like finding the cutest, quirkiest spots to snack, this one’s a total must. Coastal has our fave cereals but with a twist. They have classic cereal like The Fruits, but instead of just a bowl, it’s all piled high on vanilla ice cream. Think Fruit Loops, vanilla cake, whipped cream, and more, all layered in a takeaway cup. If you’re craving something a little more indulgent, they have hot cocoa brownies topped with brownie flakes and Rice Krispies for that extra crunch. Or maybe churros fingers dunked in the most delicious salted caramel affogato.
Ladies’ Night Padel
📍Kingdom Tower, Al Olaya.
If you and your bestie are on the hunt for sporty things to do in Riyadh, look no further. Time to grab those rackets and make your way to the rooftop of Kingdom Centre because padel is calling your name. You’ll be working out with your besties with views of the city. Padel Arena’s got you covered with a special ladies-only day every Sunday and Tuesday from 4 PM to 4 AM.
