Review: Bohemia at FIVE Palm Jumeirah

This bohemian-themed beach club is where beachside glamour meets a party that doesn’t stop. The interiors are infused with a boho-chic vibe, featuring plush seating that pairs perfectly with sweeping views of Ain Dubai and Palm West Beach. The striking infinity glass pool stretches out before you, inviting a refreshing dip while you take in the scenery. And the jacuzzi? A perfect spot to soak up the fun, with the city skyline as your backdrop.

When we visited, the renowned Jan Blomqvist was on the decks, delivering beats that struck the perfect balance between laid-back and energising. Whether lounging by the pool, enjoying sunset drinks, or dancing into the night, this venue offers exactly what you’re looking for – and you’ll likely wonder why you ever left.

The highlights

Upon settling into our seats near the DJ booth, we quickly absorbed the growing excitement of the venue. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the mood shifted into full party mode, with top DJs keeping the energy up well into the evening.

We began with the Slow cooked brisket tacos, featuring tender beef brisket wrapped in two soft corn tortillas, enhanced by a smoky piri piri sauce for a subtle kick. Fresh chimichurri, cilantro aioli, and a zesty pico de gallo added layers of flavour, balancing the richness of the meat. Next, the Crispy shrimp maki arrived featuring the rock shrimp encased in a crispy batter, paired with a creamy huancaina sauce and aji amarillo for a smooth, spicy kick.

The Chicken shawarma was up next showcasing the garlic sauce and tangy pickles contrasted perfectly with the moist, well-seasoned chicken. Paired with crispy French fries, it made for an elevated yet comforting take on a beloved street food. For mains, we had the Truffle flatbread, which was a decadent creation. The base was topped with mozzarella, cream cheese, and truffle carpaccio. The flatbread was crispy yet airy, while the luxurious truffle added an earthy depth to the creamy cheese.

Dessert came in the form of Chocolate popcorn, a playful yet sophisticated treat. The cake was light and airy, paired with an aerated mousse. The hazelnut popcorn ice cream added a delightful crunch, offering an enjoyable mix of textures.

To accompany our meal, we sampled a couple of inventive concoctions. The Chihuahua, a tropical concoction blending a smooth neutral spirit, elderflower, berry-infused spirits, fresh pineapple, and citrus. This beverage had a refreshing balance of fruity and zesty notes. The Hippie’s Paloma was equally vibrant, with its blend of agave spirit, homemade grapefruit syrup, and soda, delivering a tangy, citrus-packed experience that paired perfectly with the growing energy of the evening.
