Dubai, 04 December 2025: Winter has drifted back across Dubai, bringing with it the city’s favourite ritual: embracing the outdoors. Nowhere captures this shift more vividly than Palm Jumeirah, where beach clubs, waterfront restaurants, and rooftop dining concepts spill back into golden-hour light.
This season, the iconic island unveils one of its most vibrant outdoor calendars yet, debuting new restaurants, new boutiques, new experiences, and a festive line-up stretching across Dubai Retail’s waterfront destinations, from Palm West Beach and The Club to Club Vista Mare, and Palm Jumeirah Mall.
A New Culinary Wave Arrives at Vista Mare.
Across the promenade, Vista Mare’s much-loved concepts keep the season alive with festive menus, seaside lunches and weekly happenings, ensuring the stretch remains one of the city’s most atmospheric beachfront dining destinations.
Must-try moments include sunset spritzes at Limonata, Turkish bites at Karaf, happy hours at Tap House, family lunches at Ibn Al Bahr, and a spread of Lebanese mezze at Bebabel. Press pause at Peaches & Cream with a comforting business lunch or an easy-going Happy Hour after work. Meanwhile, Aprons & Hammers keeps things fun with Dampa Night seafood sessions and a relaxed Sunday Brunch perfect for families.
Palm Jumeirah Mall: Where Outdoors Meets Elevated Style
This winter, Palm Jumeirah Mall welcomes a new wave of lifestyle and retail experiences. Trend seekers can now browse at Zimmerli, La Martina, Rituals, Charles & Keith, Hugo, 120% Lino, Dina J Jewellery and more, a curated mix that blends design-forward boutiques with contemporary fashion.
The mall’s West Rooftop, one of Palm Jumeirah’s standout dining spots, home to Three Cuts, Cheese Farm, Chalet Berezka, Samakje and others, offering lively evenings, panoramic sunsets and winter-perfect alfresco dining.
Dining across the mall gets a seasonal glow-up too, with festive flavours and winter menus at every corner. And for those craving laid-back lunches or relaxed afternoon teas, Al Beiruti, Home Bakery, Konjiki, Brunch & Cake and Le Majlis make for the ideal stop-ins.
Palm West Beach: Where Every Day Feels Like a Mini Holiday
Along the boardwalk, the rhythm shifts with the sun. Palm West Beach is the island’s barefoot-luxe escape, slow mornings begin with the best beachfront breakfast at Jones the Grocer, or laid-back lunches at Lucky Fish with marina-side views and that breezy, effortlessly chic vibe the spot is known for.
As the day rolls on, the energy builds.
- Surf Club, famous for its vibrant beach parties, is gearing up for a stacked winter lineup featuring international DJs including ARKADYAN Voyage, Kaytek, Anotr, and a year-end beach blowout with Hugel, who will be taking golden-hour beats straight into nighttime.
- Koko Bay, Lucky Fish, and KYMA remain go-to dinner spots for catchups with friends, great vibes, great food, and golden-hour ambience. Koko Bay adds even more to the season with Nan’s British Roast every Sunday, a buzzing Thursday Ladies’ Night, and a huge highlight: Lost Frequencies performing live on New Year’s Eve.
- And for midweek rhythm-seekers, February 30 turns Tuesdays into the new weekend with live band performances and DJ entertainment, giving the boardwalk an after-dark groove long before Friday arrives.
- Orange Chameleon isn’t just sticking to Ladies’ Night – they’re doubling the fun with a brand-new Ladies’ Day, an All-Day Happy Hour, and even more cheeky offers popping up soon.
The Club: Elevated Beach Living and Sunset-to-Late-Night Energy
For a more glamorous edge, The Club on West Beach brings together Dubai’s beach-chic crowd across its collection of iconic venues: SAN, EVA, Gallery 740, The 305, Maison de la Plage, and Ayla. It blends sun-soaked leisure with late-night allure, resort-like lounging by day and riviera-inspired celebrations by night.
Visitors can also explore a season of special moments across The Club, where every corner offers something different to sink into – from immersive New Year’s Eve experiences and festive menus to slow, golden-hour celebrations by the water. The lineup continues with midweek pick-me-ups like Wellness Wednesdays at The 305, sun-drenched afternoons at Ayla’s Sunkissed Pool Party, and grounding yoga sessions at SAN, creating a beautifully varied calendar of experiences to enjoy all season long.
