Palm Jumeirah nightlife: clubs, brunches & pool parties

Palm Jumeirah’s nightlife is easy to plan, because so much of it sits in one place: FIVE Palm Jumeirah. One resort holds a pool party, a beach club, a Chinese restaurant with a skyline terrace, a rooftop club and a hip-hop nightclub, so you can go from sunbed to dance floor without leaving the building. Here is where to go, what’s on each night, what it costs and how to book. For tonight’s plans, see what’s on tonight.

Where to go out on Palm Jumeirah

• The Social Pool: the pool at FIVE, open daily from 10 AM to 7:30 PM, with music every day and Splash Dance on Sundays.

• Bohemia: a day-to-night beach club with an infinity pool, open from 11 AM, with LOST ladies day on Fridays, Sunday brunch and Bohemia Presents DJ nights on Saturdays.

• Maiden Shanghai: a Gault & Millau-recognised Chinese restaurant styled after 1920s Shanghai, with the Maiden Terrace’s 360-degree bar, shisha and Dubai Marina skyline views, the Jade speakeasy, and the Naughty Noodles party brunch.
