Dubai's social calendar already has an early highlight confirmed. DRIFT Beach Dubai has announced the return of its White Party on Saturday, January 24, 2026, bringing a full-day schedule to One&Only Royal Mirage. Marking the first DRIFT Dubai White Party of 2026, the event follows a clearly structured format — afternoon dining through an evening after party — with every rule and programming detail announced in advance.
What's Confirmed for January 24
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. This daytime portion continues until 5 PM, giving guests ample time to enjoy the music and open beach views. At 5 PM, the event shifts to DRIFT Sea Lounge, where the After Party runs for the rest of the evening. From that point, 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 — for both daytime and evening reservations. Age restrictions are also in place: children under 16 are not permitted, and guests aged 16 to 20 may attend only if accompanied by a parent or guardian. These rules apply across the entire day. Reservations are mandatory and must be secured in advance through DRIFT Dubai's official phone or email channels. Walk-ins are not accepted.
Who's Playing the After Party
From 5 PM onward at the Sea Lounge, music is handled by BIOXIAL, a Spanish electronic collective traveling from Ibiza and Madrid for the event. Their sets focus on Afro house and deep house, curated specifically for the evening portion of the White Party. BIOXIAL's appearance is scheduled exclusively for the After Party segment at DRIFT Sea Lounge.
Dining and Service Format
During the afternoon, guests at DRIFT Restaurant have access to the venue's French-inspired à la carte menu, paired with live DJ performances — a setting built for seated dining and relaxed social interaction. When the After Party begins at the Sea Lounge, the food menu ends. Service continues strictly through bottle reservations for guests staying into the evening.
With its January 24 date confirmed, the DRIFT Dubai White Party presents a structured day-to-evening schedule with defined entry rules, a confirmed music lineup, and a set dress code. From lunch reservations to bottle service at the Sea Lounge, every element has been outlined in advance for guests planning their January calendars.
