When it comes to pool days in Dubai, there is no shortage of possibilities. There are many substitutes for pool and beach days in Dubai, from family-friendly beachfronts to quiet coastal areas where even your dog is welcome. When only the best will do, treat yourself to one of these 8 luxurious Dubai pool days.
SAL
SAL, a gorgeous Mediterranean-inspired restaurant and poolside experience at the Burj Al Arab Terrace, has to be one of the strongest in the world for enjoying poolside life in the most luxury way. The whole thing has a breezy-oceanic atmosphere, with two swimming pools bounded by loungers and cabanas, as well as a mirrored restaurant that flows out onto a split-level patio. The first swimming pool is a family-friendly freshwater pool, followed by the spectacular, adults-only infinity pool that juts out into the ocean. The whole facility exudes Riviera expertise, with an amazing menu of French-Mediterranean cuisine ideal for long, languid lunches, and poolside nibbles delivered directly to your lounger.
Bulgari Yacht Club
Bulgari Yacht Club’s pool day is the one to book if you want a laid-back pool day when only luxury will do. The brand’s first yacht club, nestled close to the resort and overlooking a 46-boat port, radiates Mediterranean appeal. The stylish Italian-inspired yacht club restaurant, a members lounge and a kids’ club are all located inside the main structure. The alfresco area is where this venue truly shines, with lovely wooden cabanas (that will fit up to three people) surrounded by a temperature-controlled pool. You’ll pay Dhs1,000, with Dhs500 redeemable all through the week and Dhs1,800 redeemable on weekends.
Zeta Seventy Seven
Book a cabana at Address Beach Resort in Dubai for a really memorable pool day. The sun loungers are designated for guests of the hotel solely, so you’ll need to hire a cabana to use this world-record-breaking rooftop pool, which has some of the greatest views in Dubai. This involves your own temperature-controlled indoor room, along with a TV and sofas for when you need to escape the heat, and finally a private WC. Cabana tourists can make use of services like cold towels and sunglass washing while dining on an excellent pan-Asian poolside buffet. Cabanas start at Dhs2,777 for four persons.
Drift Beach Dubai
Drift Beach Dubai is the ideal location for an amazing pool day. It’s one of the city’s highest-end pools, with a fantastic location, great design, and excellent service. Grab a position by the beautiful temperature-controlled pool and soak up some sun. The beach club is conveniently located to provide you with stunning views of the sea and the Dubai Marina skyline, so make sure you stay for the sunset – it’s amazing from here. Single sun beds start at Dhs200 through the week and Dhs250 on weekends.
Aura
If you’re searching for a Dubai pool day with a view, the 210-metre-high Aura Skypool is quickly becoming the place to see and be seen. Its main draw is a 360-degree wrap-around swimming pool that, on a clear day, offers panoramic panoramas that seem to be photoshopped. Sun loungers of various sizes line the pool deck, with some placed carefully on pool islands for optimal sunbathing and views. There’s also a covered lounge for a more relaxed atmosphere. Morning experiences (10am to 2pm) start at Dhs250, while afternoon adventures (3pm to sunset) start at Dhs275. Full-day passes begin at Dhs525. If you want to relax and take in the scenery, book in the morning.
Nobu by the Beach
Nobu by the Beach, the Nobu brand’s first beach club, offers a luxury experience with elegant sun loungers, a refreshing infinity pool, and excellent service. While many beach clubs in the city offer booming DJ sets and a slew of live entertainment, Nobu by the Beach takes a more laid-back approach, with soothing background patterns allowing you to enjoy the palm-tree rimmed pool and plush loungers in peace. In addition to lounger prices (Dhs250 Mon-Thu, Dhs350 Fri-Sun, admission only), a variety of day beds and luxury cabanas are available, starting at Dhs1,000 per couple (non-redeemable).
Twiggy
Twiggy by La Cantine is a swanky beach club and restaurant on the creek. The stylish outdoor restaurant at Park Hyatt Dubai provides breathtaking views of the Dubai cityscape, while the forever enticing lagoon is surrounded by sugary soft sand and dotted with a series of lavish loungers. There’s the award-winning Mediterranean cuisine, the effortless cool Côte d’Azur ambiance, the exciting weekend DJ sets – often hosted by international stars – and the type of friendly and attentive service that makes every visitor feel unique. Rates are Dhs200 all through the week and Dhs250 on weekends (non-refundable). If you want to go all out, reserve one of the fittingly titled cabanas, Bardot or Grace, and gather a company of up to ten people.
Summersalt
Summersalt guests are urged to enjoy this opulent Burj Al Arab-facing area for pool days and dining. A large beach club with a boho-luxe vibe, there’s a collection of loungers spread around the beachfront, great for tanning, and efficient service ensures the visitors’ every desire is catered to while they dine and nibble at their lounger. Book into Summersalt for a more formal dining experience by the beach, where you can bite into Summersalt’s exquisite cuisine featuring classic Nikkei tastes that mixes Peruvian and Japanese dishes but with a beachy touch. Pool passes cost Dhs800 with a Dhs400 redeemable credit, or Dhs500 for entry alone. Monday through Thursday, there is a special ladies-only cost of Dhs250.
