Sun, sand, and snacks? Yes please. If your Saturday plans currently involve rewatching the same five shows and pretending brunch calories don’t count, it’s time to upgrade. Al Manara Beach Bar at Al Habtoor Grand Resort is serving a Sun-Kissed Brunch that basically invented the art of daytime hedonism by the sea – think laid-back sunbeds, live cooking stations, upbeat tunes, and family-friendly fun.

Morning: slow starts and seaside breakfasts
Start your Saturday the right way – horizontal for a bit. From 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM, the vibe is mellow: fresh seaside breakfast, sunbeds, and that pleasantly lazy, holiday-morning energy. It’s the sort of slow, delicious stretch that turns “I’ll just nap” into “I’ll nap after another mimosa.” (Yes, brunch strategy is a lifestyle.)
Main event
From 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM, the party picks up – international favourites, chefs at live stations flipping and flambĂ©ing, and a soundtrack that keeps the chairs moving and the smiles big. The setup is open-air and beachside, so you get the rare combo of great food plus a sea breeze that intervenes whenever your hair threatens to stage a coup. This Saturday format runs every weekend, so it’s reliably repeatable joy.
Tiny humans = big fun
Brunch isn’t just for grown-ups who need a good excuse to sip sparkling – the Kids’ Club runs activities that mean parents can actually relax. Face-painting is on the schedule from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM, which is ideal timing: you get a peaceful bite while the little ones get glitter and giggles. Add sandcastles, pool dips, and a slice of family-friendly chaos, and you’ve got the perfect beach day.
The packages (because choices are bliss)
Pick your vibe and your wallet’s mood:
• AED 350 – Soft beverages
• AED 400 – House beverages
• AED 500 – Unlimited bubbly (hello, sunset selfies)
• AED 175 – Kids (ages 6-12)
Those tiers let you calibrate your brunch: short sips, full pours, or celebratory bubbles. Pro tip (pro as in “we just made this up but it sounds good”): book the bubbly if you’re celebrating anything at all – promotions, paydays, surviving Monday.
