15 UAE hotels where alcohol is included in all inclusive

Alcohol in the UAE is sold only under license. You can drink in hotel bars, restaurants, and clubs, and since 2021 guests no longer need a personal license (as of 09/2026, analysis by BSB Legal). That's why all-inclusive packages with drinks are rare in the Emirates and cost more than standard rates.

The good news: such hotels do exist. Below are 15 options in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Sharjah, and Fujairah. We selected only those where alcohol is actually included in the price, not sold separately. For each hotel you'll find the emirate, beach, distances, and who it suits. Prices depend on the season and room category, so check them via the link in each entry.

UAE hotels with alcohol on the map

Below is a map with all the hotels in this selection. Open it to get a sense of how far apart the emirates are and how much time you will spend on transfers.

⁉️🤔 Frequently asked questions

Which UAE hotels include alcohol in the price?

In Abu Dhabi it's Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island, in Dubai JA Beach Hotel, Rixos The Palm, and JA Palm Tree Court. In Ras Al Khaimah drinks are included at Rixos Bab Al Bahr, DoubleTree Marjan Island, Al Hamra Village, BM Beach Hotel, BM Beach Resort, BM Acacia, and Hilton Al Hamra. In Ajman it's Ajman Saray and Ramada Beach Hotel, in Fujairah Fujairah Rotana. There are 15 hotels in this selection, and at 14 of them drinks are included in the rate rather than sold separately.

Can you drink alcohol in Sharjah?

No. Sharjah remains the only completely "dry" emirate in the UAE, where alcohol is banned even in international hotels (as of 09/2026, breakdown of UAE alcohol rules). Occidental Sharjah Grand therefore operates without alcohol. If drinks in the rate matter to you, choose a hotel in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, or Fujairah and confirm what the all-inclusive package covers when booking.

What does Rixos's "ultra all-inclusive" include?

At Rixos, the rate includes meals, snacks, and drinks, including imported alcohol, as well as most restaurants at no extra charge. The entertainment program and kids' clubs are also included in the price.

Where to go in the UAE with children?

Look for hotels with kids' clubs and a water park. In Dubai these are JA Beach Hotel, JA Palm Tree Court, and Rixos The Palm; in Ras Al Khaimah DoubleTree Marjan Island, Rixos Bab Al Bahr, and BM Beach Resort. They have age-based clubs, water slides, and a mini zoo, so you won't have to look for entertainment outside the hotel.

How much does a stay at a UAE hotel with alcohol cost?

The price depends on the season, the emirate, and the room category. Five-star resorts in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are more expensive than four-star properties in Ras Al Khaimah and Ajman. For exact prices on your dates, check the links in each item of this selection: rates change every week and depend on hotel occupancy.

Which emirate is the easiest for finding affordable all-inclusive?

Usually the northern emirates. In Ras Al Khaimah and Ajman, four-star beachfront properties cost less than five-star resorts in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Take a look at BM Beach Hotel, BM Beach Resort, and Ramada Beach Hotel: they have their own beach, but you'll have to drive on the highway to reach Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

When is the best time to book a hotel with alcoholic all-inclusive?

Peak season in the Emirates runs from November to March, when the heat subsides. During these months rates are higher, and popular resorts on the Palm and Marjan are almost fully booked (according to UAE travel portal data, 09/2026). Check dates in advance and compare cancellation policies using the links in this selection.

Do tourists need an alcohol license in the UAE?

No, since 2021 guests no longer need a personal license. Alcohol is sold only in licensed venues: hotel bars, restaurants, and clubs, and drinking in public places outside a venue is prohibited (as of 09/2026, alcohol licensing in the UAE). Drunk driving and appearing intoxicated on the street will get you a fine, so take a taxi after the bar.

What if the hotel is all-inclusive but has no alcohol?

In the UAE, "all inclusive" at hotels means only food and non-alcoholic drinks. So check what the rate includes before booking: at some resorts alcohol is sold separately at bars from the menu (as of 09/2026, Dubai tourism website). If drinks in the rate matter to you, choose hotels from this selection.

In short: what's worth booking

If you want a beach and golf, go for JA Beach Hotel or JA Palm Tree Court. If kids are coming on the trip, take a closer look at DoubleTree Marjan Island, BM Beach Resort, and Rixos Bab Al Bahr: they have age-based clubs, waterslides, and a zoo. For couples, Ajman Saray and Hilton Al Hamra are a good fit, with a quiet beach, spa, and golf course. For the mountains and the east coast, head to Fujairah Rotana.
