As the call to Maghrib settles over Palm Jumeirah, Dubai slows in a way it rarely does. Families arrive early, friends linger longer, and the city leans into togetherness. Ramadan evenings here are no longer rushed affairs. More people are choosing experiences that feel grounding, where food, setting, and atmosphere work in quiet harmony.
That’s exactly the mood at MGallery The Retreat Palm Dubai!
Set directly on the shoreline, the resort’s Ramadan Iftar invites guests to break their fast with sand beneath their feet and the sea stretching endlessly ahead. It’s a refreshing shift from busy indoor dining rooms, tapping into a growing UAE preference for open-air gatherings and wellness-led hospitality. Simple truth. Location matters.
The experience centres around a generous buffet of Arabic and international dishes, supported by live cooking stations where favourites are prepared fresh throughout the evening. From comforting classics to lighter plates, every detail feels considered. Slow bites. Warm conversations.
As the sun dips below the horizon, a live oud performance fills the space with gentle rhythm, creating an atmosphere that feels calm rather than crowded. It’s designed for families, close friends, and anyone craving a quieter way to reconnect during the holy month. This is not about excess. It’s about presence.
The Retreat’s identity as Dubai’s first wellness-focused resort comes through naturally. Evenings here unfold unhurried, encouraging guests to pause between courses, take in the sea air, and enjoy moments that don’t feel staged. Children wander safely along the beachfront, elders settle into relaxed seating, and conversations stretch late into the night. Short walks. Long memories.
Iftar is priced at AED 299 per adult and AED 149 for children aged six to twelve, with an early bird offer starting from AED 170 per person for those who book ahead. For many Dubai residents, that added value makes this a practical choice for group gatherings and family reunions.
What sets this Iftar apart is its balance. Refined dining meets natural calm. Tradition meets thoughtful hospitality. In a city filled with lavish Ramadan spreads, this one stands out by keeping things beautifully simple.
If you’re looking for a quieter way to break your fast this Ramadan, this seaside Iftar delivers calm, flavour, and connection in equal measure. Book ahead via WhatsApp on +971 50 836 8502 and let the evening unfold by the water!
