Ramadan is just around the corner, and JA Ocean View Hotel is once again preparing for a month of memorable feasts and shared moments. Guests can choose to gather for daily iftars at Aqua Restaurant or opt for a private group booking at OIA, while the UAE Residents Staycation Offer allows you to linger a little longer. Perfectly situated along the vibrant promenade of JBR, each experience encourages moments of quiet celebration, meaningful connection, and unhurried conversations that capture the warmth of the occasion.
With a variety of rooms and suites to choose from, all framed by panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, and complimentary stays for kids under 12, a Ramadan staycation at JA Ocean View Hotel is an ideal escape for families. Each day begins with a complimentary breakfast or in-room suhoor, followed by AED 300 in dining credit available daily to enjoy across the hotel’s restaurants, including Aqua Restaurant’s iftar when the fast is broken. Additionally, early check-in and late check-out allow for a slower rhythm throughout the stay, while JA Discovery members enjoy an additional 30% savings on room rates.
Aqua Restaurant blends global flavours with relaxed indoor seating and an open-air terrace, softly transformed for Ramadan with glowing lanterns and warm accents. Each night, the Ramadan iftar buffet is priced at AED 199 per adult and AED 95 per child, bringing friends and family together in a setting designed for gathering. The experience is centred around live cooking and carving stations, alongside comforting soups such as lentil and harira, classic mezze including hummus, moutabbal, grape leaves, manakesh, lamb kibbeh, and falafel, followed by hearty mains like lamb ouzi, seafood sayadeyah, chicken tagine, and freshly grilled kebabs.
Sweet endings arrive in the form of louqaimat, rose muhallabiya, assorted Arabic baklava, and kunafa, paired with dates and traditional Ramadan juices served to the table, including jallab, kamaruddin, and karkadeh. Arabic coffee is poured throughout the evening after the fast is broken, adding to the sense of ritual and familiarity, while a live oud player provides a gentle soundtrack.
For larger gatherings, private group bookings at OIA offer a unique setting for iftar. Inspired by the breezy shores of Greece, the space features whitewashed arches, cobblestone pathways, and an outdoor terrace framed by sweeping views of Ain Dubai and the Arabian Gulf. Groups enjoy a curated food offering, available with a minimum spend of AED 25,000.
Set against the lively energy of JBR and the calming presence of the sea, JA Ocean View Hotel creates an idyllic background for gathering loved ones during the Holy Month. Each venue complements the staycation experience with its own expression of Ramadan dining, allowing guests to move effortlessly between restful moments and shared meals shaped by warmth, flavour, and togetherness.
