Sun, sea, sand and sumptuous dining by day; live music and an energetic party atmosphere by night – Dubai's beach clubs have it all.
Eden Beach Club – East Crescent, Palm Jumeirah.
Best for: Mingling with the in-crowd.
Luxury exemplified, each beach side cabana comes with its very own private Jacuzzi.
Jetty Lounge – One&Only Royal Mirage.
Best for: A laid-back afternoon.
The spectacular views out over the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah and the stunning Dubai skyline make it the ideal place to watch the sunset with friends.
Cove Beach – Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
Best for: Brilliant Burj al Arab vistas.
A brand-new offering in the grounds of the distinctive wave-shaped Jumeriah Beach Hotel, Cove Beach is a high-end beach club offering fantastic Mediterranean-inspired food and a tranquil atmosphere in which to enjoy it.
Zero Gravity – Dubai Marina.
Best for: Those who want to experience skydiving without taking the plunge.
With a beach, garden, lounge and restaurant, there really is something for everyone at Zero Gravity. The venue overlooks the drop zone at Sky Dive Dubai, so not only can guests look out over Dubai Marina and the Palm.
La Baie Lounge – The Ritz Carlton.
Best for: Daytime peace followed by upbeat evenings.
The Ritz-Carlton's La Baie Lounge is an elegant outdoor venue perfect for a chilled-out dinner. But the place certainly livens up in the evenings – especially on the weekly Wednesday ladies' night.
