Pawliday Boxing Day Breakfast at MYAMI, Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah

The MYAMI Boxing Day breakfast, billed as the Pawliday Boxing Day Breakfast, invites the whole family, pets included, to Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah in Dubai on Saturday 26 December 2026. The resort describes it as a chance to “bring the whole family, including cats and dogs, to MYAMI for a relaxed Boxing Day breakfast by Palm West Beach”, and service runs across a long window between 8.30am and 4pm, so it can be an early breakfast or a lazy late brunch.

MYAMI and Its Pet-Friendly Reputation

MYAMI Restaurant, Bar & Lounge is the alfresco venue at Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah. Marriott describes it as a versatile open-air lounge set against the backdrop of Palm West Beach, where days start with breakfast and flow into poolside lounging, live sports and lively evenings, with handcrafted cocktails on the menu.

The Pawliday breakfast builds on something MYAMI was already known for. The venue was the first on Palm West Beach to launch a full pet menu, the Paws & Purrs Menu, with dishes created for both dogs and cats. Reports of the launch mention treats such as Pup Cakes, described as peanut butter cupcakes topped with yoghurt and berries, and Puppy Cinos. The resort as a whole has leaned into pet travel too: in January 2026 it launched a package called Pawfect Stay on the Palm, and MYAMI and Bal Harbour Beach are designated pet zones within the property. A Boxing Day breakfast where animals are welcome at the table is a natural extension of that approach.

The MYAMI Boxing Day Breakfast for People and Pets

For the human side of the table, the resort promises MYAMI’s signature breakfast favourites. MYAMI’s everyday breakfast menu leans on classics, and previous Boxing Day listings for the venue mentioned dishes such as avocado toast, eggs Benedict and pancakes, though the 2026 menu has not been published in full. Festive drinks are part of the offer, and house beverages become available from noon, so the mood shifts from quiet breakfast to relaxed brunch as the day goes on.

What makes the Pawliday breakfast stand out is how much thought goes into the animals. Rather than simply allowing dogs and cats on the terrace, the resort is serving them complimentary dishes, including breakfast bowls, pupuccinos and treats, so they can join in the festive spirit too. If your pet has allergies or dietary needs, mention them when you book so the team can advise on what will be served.

The starting price for people is shown in the details box on this page.

Timing Your Visit

With seven and a half hours of service, the breakfast is easy to fit around the rest of the day. Morning guests get the calmer, breakfast-led part of the day by the beach, which suits dogs that prefer quieter surroundings and cooler air. Those who sleep in after Christmas Day can arrive closer to midday, when house beverages are served and the atmosphere becomes more of a festive brunch. Either way, you are not bound to a fixed three-hour sitting, which is unusual for a festive meal in Dubai.

Keep pets on a lead and under control throughout, out of courtesy to other diners, and let the team know in advance how many animals are coming so they can prepare.

Part of a Festive Week at the Resort

The Pawliday breakfast is one of several events in Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah’s 2026 holiday programme. The day before, the resort hosts its signature Christmas Day brunch in the garden, with roasts, seafood, live cooking stations and Santa, along with a Beach Bum Christmas Brunch at Bal Harbour Beach. On Christmas Eve there is a dinner at Levantera, and on 31 December the celebrations continue with a New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner and an NYE Beach Party at Bal Harbour.

The resort itself was the first Marriott Hotels resort to open in the UAE, with 608 rooms and a 7,000 square metre beachfront on the western side of Palm Jumeirah, so guests staying over the holidays can move between all of these events without leaving the property.

Who Will Enjoy It

This event is made for pet owners who rarely get to include their dogs or cats in festive outings, and for anyone who considers the family dog part of the Christmas photo. It also suits families who want a gentle, low-key Boxing Day after the excitement of Christmas, and friends looking for a casual catch-up by the beach without committing to a long party brunch.

Book online through the resort’s SevenRooms link, which is the official ticket link on this page, or call Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah on +971 4 666 1111. Tell the team you will be bringing a pet, how many and what kind, so they can plan seating and the complimentary pet dishes.

Relaxed, sunny and genuinely inclusive of four-legged guests, the Pawliday Boxing Day Breakfast is a refreshing way to spend 26 December on Palm Jumeirah.
