DESERT DECADENCE:
A LUXURIOUS GETAWAY AT FIVE HOTELS AND RESORTS
words SARA BRAJKO
Dubai has long been a playground of modern opulence, but FIVE Hotels and Resorts is taking luxury to a whole new level. Seamlessly blending vibrant party culture with elevated hospitality and world-class entertainment, FIVE LUXE at JBR and FIVE Palm Jumeirah are setting new standards for lifestyle destinations in the region. These two iconic properties are fast becoming the ultimate hotspots, especially for those craving warm, sunlit relaxation during the day and thrilling nightlife after dark.
A standout on Dubai’s ever-evolving cultural calendar was the recent Pacha ICONS event at Playa Pacha Dubai, the beachfront hotspot located at FIVE LUXE. On the 11th of April, the venue hosted the renowned British duo CamelPhat, famous for their deep, melodic techno and house sets. As the sun set over the Arabian Gulf, Playa Pacha Dubai transformed into a vibrant scene full of music, lights, and excitement. Against a stunning oceanfront backdrop and FIVE’s signature flair for atmosphere and production, the experience echoed Ibiza’s legendary nightlife, which was ultimately reimagined for Dubai’s elite crowd. Their performance not only left a mark on the city’s nightlife scene but also set the tone for CamelPhat’s upcoming residency at Pacha Ibiza, starting May 20th.

Playa Pacha Dubai itself delivers an immersive experience beyond the ordinary even during daytime. With colorful cabanas, curated cocktails, and a dynamic lineup of international DJs, it’s no surprise that this Ibiza-inspired beach club has quickly become a crown jewel in Dubai’s entertainment scene. From weekly events like Wet Cherry Wednesdays to DJ sets featuring global names such as Rampa, Mochakk, and Solomun, the calendar is packed with unmissable moments.
At the original lifestyle playground just across the city, FIVE Palm Jumeirah complements this energy with its own iconic venues. The Penthouse Dubai, situated on the 16th floor, offers sweeping views of Dubai Marina and Ain Dubai. By day, it’s a chic sunset lounge, and by night, it transforms into a vibrant nightlife destination. By hosting major international acts, this venue consistently ranks among the region’s top rooftop spots.
Not far away, right in front of FIVE Palm Jumeirah, is Bohemia Beach Club. The venue brings a glamorous boho aesthetic to seaside lounging and offers a signature event series, Bohemia Presents, which has already featured names like Diplo, Jan Blomqvist, and Sonny Fodera. Recognized as Dubai’s ultimate beach party destination, it’s perfect for those who crave day-to-night celebration with style.
Beyond the music, the culinary offerings across both properties impress at every turn. Restaurants such as Ronin, Paradiso, and Tête-à-Tête at FIVE LUXE offer refined global dining, from Japanese fusion to Mediterranean classics.
