Raffles The Palm Dubai, the iconic pink-hued palace on the Palm gears up for the winter season, welcoming visitors to escape the cold and enjoy guaranteed sunshine.

Average temperatures are in the balmy mid-twenties, so guests can make the most of soaking up the sunshine and exploring the city.

To celebrate the new season, guests can enjoy 15% off rooms or suites when booking a stay for three nights or more, which includes access to the spa and fitness facilities and the legendary 24-hour Raffles Butler Service. An additional 10% saving can be had when enrolling in the ALL Loyalty Programme.

For the festive period, the hotel has multiple events and offerings across its dining venues and spa from a life size gingerbread house, to intimate dinners and glittering gala balls. Whilst snow might not be the first thing that comes to mind for a Christmas in the warm sunshine, the property’s exclusive tree lighting ceremony will feature a burst of snow cannons, carol singing and even an appearance from Mr and Mrs Klaus.

Ring in the New Year in regal style with the Grand Raffles Royal Masquerade Ball. Dress to the nines and enjoy extravagant elegance with an evening of live entertainment, a full menu and dancing. To continue the revelry into the early hours, Sola Jazz Lounge will be hosting an afterparty, perfect for dancing all night long. For a more relaxed evening enjoy a beachside family-style Italian dinner and front-row seats to Dubai’s firework displays at Piatti by the Beach.

Whether traditional or contemporary, Raffles The Palm Dubai has a wide variety of festive dining options across the season, from a traditional Christmas dinner to a Japanese brunch. Enjoy a Royal Festive Afternoon Tea at Blüthner Hall with light Christmas tunes from the pianist in the background whilst sipping teas or crisp champagne and indulging in traditional sweet and savoury treats with a distinctive festive twist. For film lovers, the hotel is hosting a pre-Christmas dinner in front of the silver screen at Sola Jazz Lounge, with festive classics including Home Alone and The Holiday to get into the spirit or enjoy a Japanese omakase festive menu at Matagi for something more unexpected.
