 In this summer heat a night swim sounds relaxing

DRIFT Dubai invites guests to make the most of June with two standout occasions designed to capture the magic of Dubai’s summer evenings. Candlelight Swim—Every Friday from 19 June | 7PM–11PM

As the sun sets and the temperature softens, DRIFT introduces Candlelight Swim, a weekly Friday ritual that transforms the pool into something altogether more enchanting. Beginning on 19th June, candlelight spills across the water’s edge, a live DJ sets the tone, and the evening takes on a pace entirely its own.

Entry is priced at AED 250, fully redeemable on food and beverages. Guests looking to extend the evening can opt for a two-hour free-flow package—house white, rosé, and spirits—also at AED 250. Because some Friday nights simply deserve a little more.
