A place where beautiful people gather for the likes of fresh fruit bowls, avocado toast, truffle scrambled eggs and the perfect espresso.

Prices vary. Daily from 9am-10pm. One & Only Royal Mirage, Dubai Marina,  (04 315 2200).

SAN Beach

On those lazy Sunday mornings when we’re still recovering from Saturday brunch, it takes quite a lot to drag us out of bed.

The promise of breakfast at SAN Beach will do it though. A stylish beach club at Palm West Beach with music that matches its upmarket vibe, the likes of freshly-baked croissants, muffins, French toast and a Nutella ‘tipsy cake’ might not be your usual indulgences before a luxury beach day, but life’s way too short to worry about that. Açai bowls, eggs and breakfast cocktails also grace the menu.

Prices vary. Breakfast served daily 9am-noon. Palm West Beach, Palm Jumeirah,  (04 458 0499).

Ula

With an array of breakfast favourites, including fresh Greek yoghurt, warm pastries, lobster benedict, smoked salmon or shakshuka on the menu, Ula is a beachside breakfast spot for Palm-based foodies who love to fuel up with good food. Ocean views across the Arabian Gulf make Ula an al fresco breakfast place to take your time at.

Prices vary. Mon-Thur 10am-1am, Fri-Sun 9am-1am. Dukes The Palm, Palm Jumeirah,  (04 566 3041).
