Summersalt

Enjoy unparalleled views of the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab set against a backdrop of blue sea and skies at Jumeirah Al Naseem's Summersalt beach club. Housed in one Dubai’s most luxurious resorts at the Madinat Jumeirah complex, Summersalt has made quite the splash in Dubai’s must-see scene. Here you'll find relaxing loungers, pool and beach access, and delicious cuisine inspired by the spice route. Nearby are popular restaurants like Il Borro Tuscan Bistro and Rockfish, making this beach club one of Dubai’s hottest spots to chill out.
Nikki Beach

Club Vista Mare
What could be Dubai’s trendiest beachfront destination is set alongside the eastern shores of Palm Jumeirah. Club Vista Mare is home to several different restaurants specialising in a diverse array of international cuisines. Each eatery also offers beach access with sunbeds and beachside service. Highlights include the fresh grills and laidback vibes at Ría Restaurant & Beach Bar, and delectable seafood by the sea at Ibn AlBahr.
Zero Gravity

With a beach, garden, lounge and restaurant, there really is something for everyone at Zero Gravity. The venue overlooks the drop zone at Skydive Dubai, so guests can not only look out over Dubai Marina, but they are also periodically treated to the breathtaking sight of skydivers floating towards the ground next to them. Many of the city’s residents (and famous visitors) have had epic sunny days that turn into nights full of dancing at this Dubai favourite.
WHITE Beach Dubai

A great addition to the Dubai beach club scene, WHITE Beach is a stylish retreat based in Atlantis, The Palm. Sip on a refreshing drink on the buzzing terrace or refuel at the chic outdoor restaurant while enjoying iconic views of the Arabian Gulf. Choose to lay back and relax by the picture-perfect infinity pool during the day, and hang around to enjoy the music and buzzing atmosphere in the evening.
Barasti

A longstanding Dubai institution, Barasti has long been the quintessential locale of the city's lively day-to-evening scene. Located in Le Méridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort, the famous venue is set over multiple levels, and often hosts live music and sports screenings. Barasti is definitely a go-to place during the city's warm winters, and a great spot to mingle with fellow travellers and residents alike.
