Ajman’s brunch scene is the UAE’s best-kept dining secret. Dubai prices have crept past AED 500 a head, Sharjah is dry, and Ajman quietly sits in the middle with hotel brunches that start at AED 149, feature live cooking stations and sea views, and include house beverages where you want them. The catch, there are only a handful of properties doing it well. Here are the six brunches worth the drive in 2026, with current prices and the small details that decide whether a Friday is great or just fine.
If you are also planning the dining around hotel time, pair this with our Ajman hotel day passes guide and the wider Where to Eat in Ajman pillar.

1. B Brunch at Bab Al Bahr, Ajman Saray
The smartest entry-level brunch on the emirate. Bab Al Bahr is Saray’s beach grill, so the brunch sits on a deck overlooking the Arabian Gulf with the Corniche skyline as the backdrop. From AED 149 you get the food-only tier, AED 175 adds house beverages, AED 200 unlocks the wider drinks list. Live grill, mezze, salads, three or four mains, dessert, the format you expect from a Luxury Collection property but at a quarter of the Dubai price.
Worth knowing, the brunch caps at four hours and the beachfront tables go first. Book through the Saray reservations team directly. For more on the property itself, see our Ajman Saray day pass guide.
B Brunch at Bab Al Bahr, Ajman Saray
Beachfront grill brunch, the Corniche’s best price-to-quality ratio.
Area: Corniche, Ajman
Cuisine: Beach grill, mezze, international buffet
Day and time: Friday, 12:30pm to 4pm
Price: AED 149 food, AED 175 with house beverages, AED 200 with wider drinks list
Best for: Couples, friend groups, first-time Ajman visitors
Booking: Ajman Saray dining

2. Pool Brunch at Ajman Saray
The same brunch quality as Bab Al Bahr, plus a guaranteed sunbed for the rest of the afternoon. Pricing climbs to AED 229 for food and soft beverages with pool access, AED 269 mid-tier with house drinks, AED 309 for the premium tier. You get one of the best pools on the Ajman coast (Saray’s adult pool plus the family pool depending on the day), and the brunch tables move closer to the water than at Bab Al Bahr.
Honest framing, this is essentially a brunch plus day pass bundle. If you were going to pay AED 200 for the day pass and AED 149 for the brunch separately, the AED 229 combo is a clean save. If you only want to eat and leave, stick with Bab Al Bahr.
Pool Brunch at Ajman Saray
Brunch plus full pool day, the best bundled value in Ajman.
Area: Corniche, Ajman
Cuisine: International buffet with grill
Day and time: Friday, 12:30pm to 5pm

3. Surf and Turf Brunch at Arabesque, Bahi Ajman Palace
The family-first pick. Bahi Ajman Palace runs its big brunch on Sunday rather than Friday, which keeps the noise down and the room more relaxed. AED 155 per adult buys a wide spread: pretzels and focaccia, sushi station, pasta live cooking, shawarma, BBQ live grill, two meat carving stations, six international mains, an Indian corner, full dessert spread.
The family pricing is unusually generous. Children under 5 dine free with a paying adult, kids aged 5 to 11 get 50% off, kids 12 and over pay full price. For a family of four with one teenager and one 8-year-old, you are paying AED 155 plus AED 155 plus AED 78 plus free = AED 388 total, which is well below the Dubai equivalent.
Surf and Turf Brunch at Arabesque, Bahi Ajman Palace
Family Sunday brunch with the best kids’ pricing on the emirate.
Area: Corniche, Ajman
Cuisine: International buffet with live stations
Day and time: Sunday
Price: AED 155 adult, AED 85 child (5 to 11)
Kids policy: Under 5 free, 5 to 11 at 50%, 12 plus full price
Best for: Families with school-age kids
Booking: WhatsApp +971 4 556 2099, 11am to 7:45pm

WOW-Ajman Expert Tip: Ajman brunches book out Thursday afternoon for Friday and Sunday slots. Call the venue directly (do not rely on the booking form), most reservation teams hold off-system tables for direct callers. If the line is busy, WhatsApp is faster than email at every Ajman property we have tested.
4. Spectrum at Fairmont Ajman
Fairmont’s flagship buffet restaurant runs a rotating brunch and themed dining calendar. The Spectrum format is the most polished hotel brunch in Ajman, a live-station heavy buffet with international breadth, seafood depth and dessert spreads that punch well above the Ajman price band. Pricing is set per seasonal offer and varies with the theme (Season’s Feast, weekend specials) so call dining directly for the current tariff.
For non-alcoholic preference families, this is the strongest pick on the list. Fairmont serves alcohol but the Spectrum environment reads as restaurant-elegant rather than party. The pool deck just outside is also open to brunch guests for a quiet post-meal coffee.
Spectrum at Fairmont Ajman
Polished flagship buffet with rotating seasonal brunch programming.
Area: Corniche, Ajman
Cuisine: International, seafood, dessert focus
Day and time: Seasonal Friday and Saturday programming, call for current schedule
Price: Varies by promotion, typically AED 250 to AED 400 per adult
Best for: Couples, larger groups, anyone wanting the broadest spread
Booking: ajman.dining@fairmont.com, +971 56 534 6497

5. Saturday Brunch at Cafe Naseem, Ajman Hotel
The most atmospheric brunch on the list. Cafe Naseem sits in the gardens of the Ajman Hotel (the property previously trading as Kempinski) with live music, live cooking stations, and a seafood grill bar that genuinely turns heads. Reviews consistently note the molecular cooking touches at the chef stations and the rare BBQ items not usually found at hotel brunches. Saturday rather than Friday gives the room a quieter feel.
If you have not been to a brunch since pre-pandemic and want to be reminded why people loved the format, this is the one to book. The garden setting also makes it the most photogenic on the list.
Saturday Brunch at Cafe Naseem, Ajman Hotel
Garden setting brunch with live music and seafood grill bar.
Area: Corniche, Ajman
Cuisine: International buffet with live stations and seafood grill
Day and time: Saturday
Price: Call for current rate
Best for: Couples, large family lunches, photo-worthy weekends

6. Vinesse at Al Zorah Beach Resort
The luxury sleeper. The resort at Al Zorah is in the middle of its transition to Four Seasons management, which means the property is investing heavily in the food programme while operating under its current Al Zorah Beach Resort branding. Vinesse serves international cuisine with panoramic Gulf views, Aquario handles the seafood side, and the brunch offering shifts between the two depending on the season.
This is the brunch for couples, anniversary celebrants, or anyone who wants the calmest, smallest-crowd brunch in Ajman. It is also the only one set inside the Al Zorah Nature Reserve, so a pre-brunch walk along the mangroves is part of the deal. Expect prices closer to Dubai luxury (AED 350 plus per adult) but the setting earns it.
Vinesse at Al Zorah Beach Resort
Calm luxury brunch inside the Al Zorah Nature Reserve, transitioning to Four Seasons.
Area: Al Zorah, Ajman
Cuisine: International with Italian and Mediterranean accents
Day and time: Seasonal Friday and Saturday brunch, confirm with resort
Price: AED 350 plus per adult (call to confirm)
Best for: Couples, special occasions, mangrove walkers
Booking: Al Zorah Beach Resort dining
Map: Open in Google Maps
WOW-Ajman Expert Tip: If you want alcohol with brunch but live in Sharjah, plan the route via Dubai not Ajman. Sharjah to Dubai to Ajman is legal, Ajman to Sharjah with alcohol in the car is not. The drive is 15 minutes longer, the legal exposure is zero.
How to choose your Ajman brunch
Three questions decide it. Are you eating then leaving, or settling in for the day? If settling in, the Pool Brunch at Saray or any Fairmont option wins. If you are eating then leaving, B Brunch at Bab Al Bahr or Surf and Turf at Bahi gives you the best price for time spent.
Are kids coming? Bahi Ajman Palace’s Surf and Turf is the clear answer, the kids’ pricing alone saves AED 150 plus a complaint or two. Are you on a special occasion? Vinesse at Al Zorah Beach Resort, every time.
Last call, Ajman brunch is overwhelmingly Friday, with Saturday at Ajman Hotel and Sunday at Bahi Palace as the alternatives. Plan around that if your weekend pattern is the Dubai default of Friday off, Saturday off, Sunday work.
