May in Dubai calls for a chilled glass of bubbly, sea views, and a whole lot of lounging. And if anyone knows how to deliver that, it’s DRIFT Beach Dubai. This luxe spot at One&Only Royal Mirage is rolling out a calendar of events bursting with beachy brilliance. From a French Riviera-style pop-up to sun lounger perks and the White Party season, DRIFT Dubai is pulling out all the stops.
Sunset, Spritz & Sea Breeze With DRIFT Sea Lounge’s Riviera Pop-Up
Want to soak in Côte d’Azur vibes without leaving Dubai? The Riviera Pop-Up has taken over DRIFT Sea Lounge in partnership with Minuty. Picture lavender sprigs, lemon crates, olive trees, and the Mediterranean magic you didn’t know you needed. It’s open until the end of May, so you’ve got ample time to plan and visit.
Pair that sunset with a signature cocktail during Vesperal Hour (daily from 5 pm to 7 pm), where drinks like Golden Hour, Sunset, and Twilight go for just AED 45. That definitely sounds like a dreamy offer with the scenic view.
Beachside Breakfasts, Business Lunches & One Iconic Party

This month also marks your last chance to hit up Chic Wednesdays at DRIFT Restaurant. From 9 am to 11 am every Wednesday, breakfast gets an upscale twist. Think fluffy omelettes, pain perdu, Provençale eggs and that avocado toast, served with fresh juice, artisan teas, and access to the pool and beach. All for AED 180. It’s going to be a hard time settling for that old cereal after this.
Craving a classy lunch that doesn’t involve noisy cafés or sad salads? La Pause Déjeuner is your weekday beachside business lunch (Monday to Friday, 12 pm to 3 pm). A three-course menu that rotates weekly gives you reason to “do lunch” with colleagues or clients. Expect elegance, skyline views, and a proper good meal.
Now, save the date: 31st May is the Final White Party of the Season. Dress in white, sip on chilled Veuve Clicquot Rosé, and sway to live performances while dining on French cuisine by Chef Sylvain Noël. It all happens with the pool glistening and the beachfront calling. Arrive chic, leave legendary.

Sun Loungers, Sips & Midweek Magic For The Ladies
Let’s talk lounging. Throughout May, DRIFT’s plush sun loungers are fully redeemable for ladies. Yes, that means the full amount you pay goes towards food and drinks. From Monday to Thursday, choose between AED 150 or AED 200 options. On weekends, it’s AED 200 or AED 250 per person.
Then there’s Ladies Who DRIFT on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 am to 7 pm. For AED 99, you get a sun lounger and a complimentary drink. Tuesdays, they serve up a glass of Minuty rosé, while Thursdays pour Perrier-Jouët champagne.

Whether you’re popping in for a posh breakfast, dancing the day away at the White Party, or just sipping cocktails while pretending you’re in Nice, DRIFT Dubai has you covered this May. Book in advance, wear white when it counts, and bring your appetite.
