The DRIFT Dubai White Party starts at 12 PM at DRIFT Restaurant, where guests can reserve a French inspired à la carte lunch while live DJs play throughout the afternoon.

From this point forward, service is bottle service only, and food is no longer offered. Both segments take place within the DRIFT Beach Dubai venue at One&Only Royal Mirage.
Dress Code and Entry Rules
The dress code is clearly stated. Guests must wear white attire, described by the venue as sunlit whites and Riviera style. This requirement applies for both daytime and evening reservations. Age restrictions are also in place. Children under 16 are not permitted at the event. Guests aged 16 to 20 may attend only if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Entry without a reservation is not part of the event plan.
Who’s Playing the After Party
From 5 PM onward, music at the Sea Lounge is handled by BIOXIAL, a Spanish electronic collective traveling from Ibiza and Madrid for the event.
