Brunch Me If You Can 2026 in Dubai

Brunch Me If You Can in Dubai is a Californian-themed Saturday pool party and brunch at Malibu Deck Bar & Lounge, up on the pool deck of Paramount Hotel Dubai in Business Bay. It runs every Saturday afternoon between 1pm and 4pm, with the current run of dates stretching to 30 January 2027. Think poolside dining, live music, DJ sets and a dash of Hollywood glamour, all wrapped up in a relaxed, resort-style setting in the middle of the city.

About Brunch Me If You Can at Malibu Deck

The name gives you a hint of the mood. This is a playful, sunny take on the Dubai brunch, styled around “Californian cool” with a Hollywood twist that fits neatly with the Paramount Hotel setting. Rather than a formal sit-down affair indoors, it is a pool party first, with the dining built around the deck and the entertainment running alongside.

It suits the time of year, too. The run kicks off at the end of October and carries on through the cooler months, which is when an afternoon outdoors in Business Bay really comes into its own. Seating for the brunch is at Malibu Sky Lounge, so you are up above the street with the hotel’s pool deck as your backdrop.

What to Expect on a Saturday Afternoon

Expect a three-hour afternoon that builds gently. The Platinumlist listing describes ongoing performances, live music and DJ sets across the session, so there is always something happening without it tipping into a full-on nightclub. Guests also get access to the venue’s large outdoor screening wall, which adds a nice bit of Hollywood flavour to the deck.

Food is Californian-style dining, served as part of every package. The menu is curated by the venue, and items are subject to availability, so the exact dishes may change from week to week. If you have allergies or dietary needs, the venue asks you to let the restaurant know in advance, which is worth doing when you book rather than on arrival.

There are three beverage packages to choose between:

• Soft Beverages, for guests aged 18 and over, with Californian-style dining and a curated soft drinks selection.
• House Beverages, for guests aged 21 and over, adding a curated house beverage selection.
• House Beverages & Cocktails, for guests aged 21 and over, with house beverages plus cocktails.

Additional food and drink, premium beverages and transport are not included, so anything beyond your package is extra. Inclusions you do not use cannot be swapped or exchanged for cash.

The Venue: Malibu Deck Bar & Lounge, Paramount Hotel Dubai

Malibu Deck Bar & Lounge sits on the pool deck level of Paramount Hotel Dubai in Business Bay. It is styled as a resort-style lounge, and the combination of pool, screen and soundtrack gives it a holiday feel without leaving the city. Once you are inside the hotel, take the main lobby lifts up to the Pool Deck Level, marked P.

One important tip from the listing: make sure you head to Paramount Hotel Dubai in Business Bay, off Al Khail Road, and not the Midtown branch. It is an easy mix-up when booking a taxi, and the last thing you want on a Saturday is to arrive at the wrong hotel.

Who It Is For

Brunch Me If You Can is aimed at adults. The soft beverages package is open to guests aged 18 and over, while the two packages that include alcohol are strictly for those aged 21 and over, and you will need valid original ID. That makes it a strong pick for groups of friends, birthday plans, a catch-up with colleagues or a laid-back date that feels more like a pool day than a long lunch.

If you prefer your brunch with plenty of music and a sociable buzz rather than hushed tablecloths, this is very much your kind of afternoon. For more ideas, browse our full guide to brunches and dinners in Dubai.

Visitor Tips

A few practical points from the listing will help your Saturday run smoothly. Advance reservations are recommended and subject to availability, and you will need to show a valid Platinumlist ticket on arrival. Tickets cannot be cancelled or changed once booked, so check your date before you confirm.

Driving or taking a taxi is the simplest option. Valet parking is available for brunch guests at the hotel. If you are using the Metro, ride the Red Line to Business Bay Station and then take a short taxi of around seven minutes, as the listing advises it is too far to walk.

Bring your ID if you are booking a package with alcohol, even if you are sure you look over 21.
