Dubai beach clubs you should try
Whether it’s for brunching, sunbathing, or partying, we’ve got you covered

Cove Beach: Jumeirah Beach Hotel’s new beach venue is intimate and cosy and definitely worth a try. Besides its beach lounge and bar, Cove also comprises of an indoor restaurant. It hosts a series of events, has a resident DJ, and looks out to the Burj Al Arab.

Nikki Beach: The recently opened Miami concept on Pearl Jumeirah is a must-try if you’re a fan of luxury beach clubs. The brand is a favourite among celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Beyoncé and features everything from DJs to events and a restaurant.

Blue Marlin: This one’s for fans of beach parties, because you can’t go to Blue Marlin and not dance. Open only on Fridays and Saturdays, the beach club houses a restaurant with popular brunches, but we like it for its music and entertainment. It’s located in the Golden Tulip hotel off Sheikh Zayed Road.

Nasimi Beach: A definite favourite amongst Dubai beach goers, Nasimi Beach is located in the Atlantis Hotel on the Palm Jumeirah. It’s open seven days a week and comprises of a restaurant, lounge area (where you can also sunbathe) and a beach. We love its fast service, all-white décor, and large sunbathing area.

Eden Beach Club: Another Palm Jumeirah favourite is Eden in Rixos. It’s large, luxurious, and great for big groups as it has a number of cabanas which – wait for it – have their own Jacuzzis. It has a pool and beach area as well as a restaurant. It usually has a resident DJ but also hosts various events.

Puro Beach: The Mallorca-based lifestyle brand opened a beach club in Dubai in 2013, but it’s still unknown to many due to its slightly unusual location – on the 6th floor of the Conrad hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road. It features a lounge, DJ, terrace, garden area, pool, and restaurant.

Zero Gravity: A great choice for those living in JBR, Zero Gravity is located in the Sky Dive Dubai Drop Zone. It has a large pool and beach area with skyline views of the Dubai Marina. It’s more casual that the other choices on the list but still pretty high end.
