These 9 Places Will Have You Walking at Palm Jumeirah All Night
One time, I remember I was checking out Palm Jumeirah at night when I spotted this super fancy sports car. I couldn’t help but take a few pics. Then I just stood there next to it, and out of nowhere, a random girl asked for my number.
I loved the attention, but then the actual car owner came up and opened the car. That was when I realized just how embarrassing I’d been. I spent the whole day thinking about it and ended up taking the longest walk of my life. Ugh, so embarrassing!
But what got me out of that funk was calling up my pals for some company. As it turns out, Palm Jumeirah after sunset is absolutely stunning! Slowly but surely, we forgot about the incident and just soaked in the views and vibes in these attractions below.
What are the best Palm Jumeirah spots in the evening?
There are a bunch of great Palm Jumeirah spots in the evening! Some of the best ones to see at night are The Pointe, Aquaventure Waterpark, WHITE Beach Dubai, The Penthouse, and Ling Ling.

The Pointe is a vibrant waterfront destination featuring a promenade lined with many shops. At night, Palm Jumeirah visitors can enjoy stunning views of Atlantis The Palm and watch the spectacular Palm Fountain show—the world’s largest dancing fountain!
But the highlights for us are the free fountain shows. We also adore how the light reflects on the waters at night, making them splendid backdrops for mini photoshoots.
Otherwise, we reckon this can be a lovely date idea for introverts too. You can bask in the illuminated pathways—we like that this is both magical and free!
Pro tip:
The Pointe has various waterfront restaurants boasting the most scenic views. We believe it’s best to book ahead so you can secure the best seats.

While Aquaventure Waterpark primarily operates during the day, special nighttime events are sometimes held, featuring illuminated rides and themed parties. For us, these events offer a unique experience for thrill-seekers at the park after dark.
And after a long day at the park, there are plenty of dining spots with incredible vistas too! We also love that there are nearby beaches where you can burn those extra calories.
Handy hack:
It’s best to carry your own water bottles at Aquaventure Waterpark to stay hydrated. There are several refill points available too! Do note that the food here can be pricey, and only a few small snacks can escape the bag checks.

WHITE Beach is a unique day-to-night Palm Jumeirah venue that features 2 Instagram-worthy pools, a chic outdoor restaurant, and a breezy open-air terrace ideal for sipping cocktails during sunset.
And if you fancy a dip in the pool, it’s convenient for us the temperature is typically perfect whenever you want to swim.
As for the grub, we recommend getting your hands on the fresh options, like the watermelon salad and salmon. We think the tacos and pasta are great to have after swimming too.
Nifty trick:
Some areas at WHITE Beach are closer to the music, which can get loud. For a balance of lively vibes and easy conversation, we recommend choosing your spot strategically!

Perched on the 16th floor, The Penthouse provides gorgeous views of the Dubai skyline and the Arabian Gulf. These lounges often showcase live music or DJs, creating a lively nightlife vibe where you can sip on drinks and mingle to your heart’s content.
But if you arrive earlier in the day, we think you might appreciate that this adults-only venue also offers a laid-back cafe-style experience.
On top of that, it’s got 2 glass-walled pools where you can cool off between rounds of sushi and other light bites. And from the cocktail menu, we recommend trying the Sunset for a refreshing drink that fits the ambiance.
Insider scoop:
Want the party to last at The Penthouse? Visit during Thursday nights—these kick off with a pretty solid “pre-party,” letting you and your crew dance the long night away!

We also love that there are plenty of age-old recipes here that have been subtly modernized. Other than that, we recommend getting the best-sellers—the hearty Brazilian feijoada (black bean stews) or Mexican tacos to spice up your meal.
The interiors are just as vibrant, in our opinion. This Instagrammable spot offers artworks, neon signs, artifacts, piñatas, and llama decor, all under a circus-tent-inspired roof with carousel details. And the best part for us—a flamingo chandelier!
Savvy suggestion:
Want unlimited tacos? En Fuego offers this deal for AED 99 on weekdays—but only until 7 pm. Don’t miss out!

Should you like having the highest vantage point, AURA SKYPOOL Dubai seems to be the most fitting choice. For one, it’s the world’s highest 360-degree infinity pool located 210 meters above the ground on the 50th floor of The Palm.
And the way we see it, this sophisticated pool-and-lounge destination looks heavenly, thanks to its nature-inspired decor and welcoming vibes.
There’s also a chic lounge area and an international menu with tasty sharing plates and Pan-Asian flavors. Standouts for us include the glazed miso salmon, grilled loaded cauliflower, and marinated pineapple sundae.

Phantom House Club

Address: Waldorf Astoria Hotel – 9.9
Contact Details: +971 50 292 9282
Operating Hours:
- Tuesday to Sunday – 9 PM to 3 AM
- Monday – Closed
Fees:
- Around AED 200 to 300 per person
Overlooking Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah beach, the Phantom House lounge is a lovely restaurant that offers Arabic music and dances. We think this is great for travelers seeking a whole new appreciation of Dubai’s culture.
And to make sure you’ve got enough energy, we suggest going for the edamame, nachos and dip, salmon maki, and fruit platter. We believe you shouldn’t miss the large sushi boat either—fantastic for sharing, in our opinion.
Friendly reminders:
The Phantom House can have a strong smell of shisha (hookah or water pipe to smoke flavored tobacco). If you’re not a fan of that, we recommend choosing other bars from our list instead.
If you’re partying late into the night (with no designated drivers), we believe it’s smart to arrange transport in advance (taxi or rideshare). This lets you avoid any hassle and stay safe.
