Iris Brunch at Koko Bay

Partnering with Koko Bay, Iris is launching a beach party brunch this Sunday.

The simple pleasure of sinking your toes into the warm sand aside, Koko Bay remains the definitive place to recreate that holiday feeling at home — think: wicker chairs, thatched roofs, bamboo accents, and craft cocktails featuring unexpected ingredients like kaffir leaves. Now, this iconic venue is joining forces with Iris to launch the city’s most exciting party beach brunch on 19 January.

Taking place every Sunday from 1pm to 5pm, Koko Bay will transform into a high-energy beachfront celebration complete with panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, setting the stage for an unforgettable afternoon. Enjoying the best of both, brunchgoers will indulge in a culinary journey featuring a combination of the most popular dishes from Koko Bay and Iris, offering a feast for the senses. The generous menu includes live food stations, a wide selection of appetisers, shared mains featuring the signature Iris Steak, and delicious desserts such as the Tres Leches Cake, Sponge Cake, and a large selection of seasonal fruits.

Inspired by the timeless allure of Bali, Koko Bay’s beach has undergone a stunning transformation. The venue now features a standout Turtle Bar, serving as the centrepiece of the brunch experience. Whether sipping cocktails or savouring bites, guests can choose from a range of seating options: lounge under the sun, linger at a table in the sand, or reserve the brand-new surf deck for an exclusive gathering.

Adding to the vibrant atmosphere, Iris Dubai’s signature floral installations will take over the venue, offering Insta-worthy photo opportunities at every turn. Multiple DJs will keep the energy alive all afternoon, spinning the decks under Koko Bay’s chic new pergola. The party doesn’t stop there, either — for those who want to carry on into the evening, an after-brunch will take place from 5pm until 10pm. Packages range from AED 350 for the Soft Brunch (inclusive of a selection of non-alcoholic drinks) to AED 690 for the Premium Brunch (premium spirits, cocktails, sparkling wine, premium wines, and beers). Book your spot or via https://sevn.ly/x2qejQhl or call 04 5723444.
