The Penthouse, FIVE Palm Jumeirah
The vibe: Dubai’s rooftop party, done properly. It sits on the roof of FIVE Palm Jumeirah, looks out over the Marina, and flows from indoor rooms out onto open-air terraces.
Sunset on the Palm, sushi in hand, world-class DJs on the decks. This is where Dubai’s weekend actually starts.
THE PLACE
Why it’s a top pick: It’s ranked #36 in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs 2026, with room for about 1,000 guests. Recent line-ups include Solardo, Jan Blomqvist and Tripolism, played through a sound and light setup built for big nights. Come hungry, because the sushi holds its own.
BEST FOR
The Friday brunch, 9 PM to midnight.
