By Day
Looking to relax, lounge and soak up the sun by the pool in one of Dubai’s trendy clubs? We’ve rounded up some unique club experiences for you to enjoy on your next trip.
One of Dubai’s latest lifestyle experiences to open is Sal at Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, which is located on The Terrace of the hotel overlooking the azure waters of the Arabian Gulf. You can just head here for lunch with a stunning view, but we recommend spending the day with one of their pool passes, which include food & beverage spend at Sal restaurant. This trendy new beach club in Dubai has an amazing infinity pool and a chic, modern and sophisticated vibe.
For a more laid-back and casual pool experience without feeling the need to dress up, head to Riva Beach Club on The Palm Jumeirah for an afternoon of relaxation and pool fun. This Dubai club is located right on the beach, but also features its own pool and you can buy day passes that give you access to both. Riva has a nice outdoor bar and lounge, perfect for sundowners and their Friday brunch is a favorite with local residents as well. Beach club access is on a first come first serve basis, but you can make reservations for lunch and dinner which is highly recommended, especially on weekends.
A little further up the coastline on Pearl Jumeira Island is renowned international beach club Nikki Beach Dubai. Also a resort, the Nikki Beach club in Dubai features rooms and suites as well as private pool villas and lifestyle residences. Like all their other locations around the world, Nikki Beach Dubai features an all-white décor with striking design. To see and be seen, you can lounge by the pool and reserve a table for lunch all while enjoying the beats of the club’s resident DJs.
