We are entering the restorative month of February and now that the sun sets earlier and evenings stretch into moments of reflection, Ramadan is arriving to set a softer rhythm of living.

From candlelit courtyards and waterfront tents to refined dining rooms and contemporary spaces reimagined for the holy month, this is our considered edit of places to spend your Ramadan nights, spots for iftar and suhoors. For the ones seeking somewhere to host family, reconnect with friends or simply savour a quiet evening after sunset, these destinations capture the spirit of the season — warm, thoughtful and designed for moments that stay with you long after the last cup of tea.

Here are our top picks for places across the UAE for meaningful iftars and suhoors.

Al Maha, Luxury Desert & Spa

Set deep within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Al Maha’s Ramadan gatherings unfold as a return to the way the holy month was once observed — beneath open skies, surrounded by stillness and sand.

Hosted in the resort’s Ghaf Oasis, the open-air iftar is designed as an unhurried experience, where Bedouin-inspired settings, flickering lanterns and the soft desert breeze set the mood for reflection and connection. As the evening draws to a close, classic Ramadan desserts offer a gentle, nostalgic finish — making this a night that feels less like dining out, and more like stepping into a quieter rhythm of the season.

Sukoon, Fairmont Dubai

Perched above the city at Fairmont Dubai’s Sunrise Rooftop Pool, Sukoon is an intimate open-air Ramadan experience designed for slower evenings and meaningful gatherings.

As the call to prayer echoes and the sky softens into dusk, guests are welcomed to a chef-curated iftar served against panoramic skyline views, accompanied by subtle live music and the gentle atmosphere of a rooftop retreat. Sukoon offers a setting where the pace of the city fades, replaced by conversation, reflection and the simple beauty of breaking fast under open skies.
