Drift at One&Only Royal Mirage Saturday Event

DRIFT will host a Saturday daytime service at One&Only Royal Mirage in Dubai on April 25, with guests arriving from 12 p.m. at the beachfront venue. (cntravellerme.com) The event appears in Condé Nast Traveller Middle East’s weekend guide for April 24 to 26, 2026, which lists DRIFT among the city’s dining-led plans for Saturday. (cntravellerme.com) DRIFT operates inside One&Only Royal Mirage on Al Sufouh Road and markets itself as a beach and pool club with a restaurant on the Arabian Gulf. (oneandonlyresorts.com) The venue’s own site says the pool and beach run Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., while the restaurant runs Tuesday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (driftbeachdubai.com) That timing makes a noon start fit DRIFT’s regular lunch service, which OpenTable lists as running daily from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the same address. (opentable.ae) The setting is part of the draw. One&Only says DRIFT pairs French cuisine and drinks with a private beach and pool overlooking the Gulf, while DRIFT’s site highlights skyline views from its infinity pool. (oneandonlyresorts.com; driftbeachdubai.com) The venue is also age-restricted. One&Only says pool and beach guests must be over 16, and DRIFT says no children under 16 are allowed in the restaurant or beach club, with guests aged 16 to 20 required to be accompanied by a parent. (oneandonlyresorts.com; driftbeachdubai.com) DRIFT has been operating since 2017, according to OpenTable, and has built its identity around all-day seaside dining rather than a one-off pop-up. Saturday’s noon event slots into that established format at one of Dubai’s best-known hotel beach clubs. (opentable.ae)
