Elevate Your Evenings: A Skyline State of Mind at Malibu Sky Lounge

Malibu Sky Lounge at Paramount Hotel Midtown sets a new stage this season, scripting a bold narrative with a genre-themed live entertainment line-up and an innovative new culinary story. Rising 64 floors above Dubai, Malibu Sky Lounge is redefining the city’s rooftop experience - not just as a lounge, but as “A Skyline State of Mind” where music, culinary flavours and panoramic views converge. 

High above Dubai’s glittering skyline, Malibu Sky Lounge invites guests to unwind in casual yet elegant dining settings, where 360-degree city vistas and breathtaking views of the Burj Khalifa frame a star-studded culinary experience.

Golden  memories are made here, cocktails hit smoother and every bite tells a story of Californian creativity with a Mediterranean soul and an Asian edge. At Malibu Sky Lounge, dining feels more like a stylish escape than a reservation.

From the opening scenes to the closing credits, the new menu at Malibu Sky Lounge unfolds like a cinematic journey of flavour and artistry. Every dish has been thoughtfully curated by Chef Ivan Martinez to surprise and delight. From the perfectly seared crusted Malibu Tuna and the show-stopping signature Rib-eye “Volcancito” Tacos and baked Miso Salmon, an array of freshly rolled sushi adds a touch of refined indulgence, while the signature Malibu Pavlova brings the finale, crisp, soft and irresistibly light. The new menu sets the stage for an evening of culinary drama, where every moment becomes a performance with a view.

“Our menu is very much rooted in the spirit of California, drawing on its fresh, sustainable and locally sourced products,” says Chef Ivan Martinez. “We’re proud to use local UAE products wherever we can to curate a culinary masterpiece. From locally raised poultry to fresh burrata and prawns. These elements merge seamlessly with California staples like avocados, coconuts, almonds and walnuts, creating a beautiful fusion of cultures on the plate. In short, this menu is a nod to California’s culinary diversity, enriched with bold, vibrant flavours and the elegance of Asian influences.”

Every evening, the curtain rises at Malibu Sky Lounge transforming the venue into a stage up in the sky where the skyline becomes your backdrop and every night unveils a new genre. Guests can look forward to a curated line-up of live performances – six nights a week featuring Jazz, Swing, R&B and Soul, Latin Beats, Disco & Pop and DJ sets, weaving the rhythm of the city into the stars whilst enjoying a fabulous dinner and signature.

“From the iconic 360-degree views of Dubai’s incredible skyline to our Californian inspired new menu and the new season launch of our nightly programme of genre-curated live entertainment, ‘A Skyline State of Mind’ perfectly captures the soul of Malibu Sky Lounge,” said Pascal Eggerstedt, General Manager of Paramount Hotel Midtown.

“We’ve created a stage in the sky where every guest’s favourite genre comes to life and where culinary enthusiasts can enjoy unique rooftop dining with an edge. Every night at Malibu is a unique scene, a touch of elegance, flavour, rhythm and sophistication that redefines rooftop experiences across the city.

The week kicks off with “Jazz in the Sky” every Monday, as jazzy velvet vocals drift above Dubai’s skyline. Tuesdays swing into the golden era with swing and big-band classics performance, midweek turns graceful as Wednesdays become the city’s most glamorous Ladies’ Night with Dubai’s skyline backdrop, bringing a touch of feminine charm and dazzling sophistication to the stage. Thursdays come alive with a talented duo belting Latin rhythms and igniting the night with high-energy flair. Fridays turn into party mode with a DJ on the decks, while Saturdays close the week with a powerhouse vibe at the themed Saturday “Night Fever” featuring your favourite disco and popular tracks, a vibrant mix of genres that keeps the skyline alive well into the night. Performances begin from 8:0 pm onwards, ensuring the skyline pulses with a fresh soundtrack every evening. Guests who enjoy shisha can unwind under the stars with signature blends and skyline views.
