Ramadan in Dubai often means searching for a spot that feels worlds away from the city rush.
Lapita, Dubai Parks and Resorts, Autograph Collection Hotel, delivers exactly that with its Polynesian-themed architecture and a relaxed, family-focused atmosphere.
If you want a change from the standard setting, this resort with a tropical vibe offers a great alternative. The Polynesian design makes the resort feel like a holiday destination, even if you are only visiting for dinner.
Choose between the indoor comfort of Kalea or head outside to the terraces and gardens to catch Dubai’s stunning weather.
If you’re after variety, the Kalea iftar buffet is one to block in your calendar. With plenty of space, options for both indoor and outdoor dining, a grand spread and kids’ activities, it’s the perfect iftar option for families.
The spread covers traditional Middle Eastern favourites alongside international dishes. Indulge in comforting Arabic favourites, from chicken machboos and samak tarator to slow-cooked beef salona, alongside a selection of Asian, Indian and international dishes. Vegetarians are in for a great time, with lots of options from paneer khada, stir-fried Singaporean noodles and a curated selection of fresh salads.
You will find live cooking stations where chefs prepare food to order, ensuring everything stays fresh. As a sweet finish to the end, you’ll enjoy a dessert spread ranging from date pudding to Kunafa Nabulsi. To set the mood, a live Oud player performs throughout the evening.
As the parents savour generous sharing-style spreads, the kiddos can enjoy children’s activities like creative hand and face painting, interactive brain teasers and both indoor and outdoor obstacle courses.
If you’re after iftar for corporate gatherings, the hotel opens up the Tamure Ballroom and several outdoor spaces, including Kalea Garden and Ari Garden, for unmissable open-air vibes for packages starting from Dhs220.
What’s more, since the hotel sits right inside Dubai Parks and Resorts, you have immediate access to Riverland Dubai, Motiongate and Legoland and Real Madrid World Dubai. Though you do need to buy tickets separately to enter.
So what are you waiting for? Make a booking and treat your family to a wonderful iftar experience.
