HELLO & WELCOME Dear Guests,
As we move into February, we welcome the Holy Month of Ramadan, a time centered on reflection, connection, and generosity. Dubai takes on a different rhythm during this period, with quieter days and evenings that bring people together through shared moments and meaningful traditions. At the resort, we are pleased to mark the season with thoughtfully curated Iftar and Suhoor experiences at Layalina Majlis, our new Ramadan venue set on the West Beach terrace, alongside moments of renewal at Saray Spa, including the traditional Hammam ritual. February also brings Valentine’s Day, and for those looking to celebrate, we invite you to enjoy special dining experiences, offering distinctive settings for a memorable evening. Beyond the resort, Ramadan offers a calmer way to experience Dubai. Cooler evenings are perfect for desert safaris, cultural walks, and exploring the city after dark, when everything feels more relaxed and unhurried. On behalf of the entire team, Ramadan Mubarak.
Warm regards, Gerrit Schmitt General Manager

DO’S DURING RAMADAN IN THE UAE
- Dress modestly in public spaces. Shoulders and knees covered is a good rule of thumb. - Be respectful of those who are fasting during daylight hours. - Join an Iftar if invited or book one. It is one of the best ways to experience Ramadan. - Greet people with Ramadan Kareem or Ramadan Mubarak. - Expect adjusted working hours and a slower daytime pace. Plan accordingly. - Explore the city at night. Restaurants, markets, and cultural spaces stay open late. DON’TS DURING RAMADAN IN THE UAE - Do not eat, drink, chew gum, or smoke in public before sunset. - Do not play loud music or behave disruptively, especially during the day. - Do not wear revealing clothing in public areas. - Do not show public displays of affection. - Do not get impatient. Ramadan is about patience and mindfulness.
WHERE RAMADAN EVENINGS UNFOLD As Ramadan arrives in mid-February, Dubai begins to move differently. The days grow quieter. The evenings draw people together. It is a time shaped by reflection, generosity, and shared moments, where fasting from dawn to sunset gives way to long, meaningful nights around the table. As the sun dips below the horizon, Laylina Majlis comes to life on West Beach. Created exclusively for the Holy Month, it is a place where time slows and conversations linger. A generous Iftar buffet sets the tone for evenings spent breaking fast together, surrounded by warmth and tradition. Later, the night continues with Suhoor, where the atmosphere turns more social, yet never loses the calm spirit of Ramadan
Dining at Laylina Majlis is unhurried and communal.
