3 top locations packed with offers to drink, dine and be merry!
Who says Christmas has to be all snow and sweaters? In Dubai, the festive season takes a glamorous turn as the city’s iconic beach clubs roll out the red carpet for a sun-soaked celebration like no other. This year, you can swap frosty windows for glittering shorelines and indulge in a lineup of exciting holiday events. From dazzling disco brunches that keep the dance floor alive to themed nights brimming with mouthwatering food and drink offers, Dubai’s beach clubs are setting the stage for unforgettable festivities.
With sparkling festive décor, beachfront views, and vibrant energy, these venues are turning the holiday season into a chic coastal retreat. Whether you’re sipping cocktails under twinkling lights or dancing to the beats of a live DJ, there’s no shortage of holiday cheer to go around.
Here’s three of our favourite spots to enjoy Christmas celebrations by the sea:
DRIFT Sea Lounge: Your Chic Winter Escape in Dubai
Dubai’s beloved al fresco hotspot, DRIFT Sea Lounge, has been turning heads since October with its unbeatable views of the city skyline. This festive season, it’s upping the ante with an enchanting Après-Ski retreat in collaboration with Belvedere, transforming the space into a glamorous alpine getaway starting in December.
Picture this: cozy, ski-inspired decor paired with Dubai’s signature sophistication. Sip on curated Belvedere cocktails like the Mulled Wine or the indulgent Après-Ski Martini, and savor festive bites such as Les Noix de Saint-Jacques (truffle-seared scallops) and the decadent La Bûche de Noël (a festive Yule Log). The chic ambiance and snowy-inspired vibes will have you feeling like you’ve swapped the city’s shores for a mountaintop retreat in the French Alps.
This magical experience is only here until January 12th, so don’t miss your chance to revel in a festive wonderland. And of course, DRIFT’s much-loved signature nights will continue with a festive twist.
