SĀN Beach
Dubai, UAE
One of the most stylishly mellow toes-in-the-sand beach clubs to spend those beautiful winter days, SĀN Beach is all cosy daybeds, sepia-toned plaster and wicker lampshades that will transport you direct to Ibiza. Designed to be a place in which to rest, relax and recharge after a long week at work, it’s split into a pristine beach, large infinity pool, outdoor seating area with submerged pool bar and an indoor restaurant where chefs rustle up the likes of truffle pizza, sushi and sashimi. In other words, there’s something for everyone.
Bla Bla
Dubai, UAE
With its colossal 20 bars, three restaurants and swish beach club and pool, Bla Bla has been a runaway hit ever since it opened its doors in early 2021. Plenty of plush daybeds complete with bright orange cabanas are up for grabs here (they’ll set you back Dhs200 Mon-Fri or Dhs300 on the weekend) but if you’re looking to splash some cash, why not grab a cabana or lounge seating and pretend like you own the place. They hold lots of great events on a regular basis, too – the Sunday brunch the pool is a particular Time Out Dubai favourite.
Beach by FIVE
Dubai, UAE
It’s holiday vibes all round at Beach by FIVE, which brings the best beach parties direct to The Palm Jumeirah. Home to a 150m private beach, huge sun loungers, cabanas, Jacuzzis and a breathtaking glass lined pool, its Bohemia event is particularly popular. Taking place each Saturday, it hosts the most epic house music beach parties featuring record-breaking international DJs such as Lost Frequencies, Robin Schulz, Joris Voorn and many more. We’ll see you on the sand.
WHITE Beach Club
Dubai, UAE
Lose yourself in a beachside daydream or get together with friends to create unforgettable moments.

DRIFT Beach
Dubai, UAE
For when you want sun, sand and luxury all rolled into one, hot foot it down to DRIFT Beach Dubai. Home to a panoramic infinity pool, a huge 1km of private beach and a restaurant serving exquisite (albeit pricey) Mediterranean cuisine, there’s good reason this Dubai beach club is reserved for the select few. If you’re feeling extra fancy, its latest addition is the private cabana which come complete with sound system, stylish lounge, hotel-like facilities, manicured grounds and a private pool.
Nobu by the Beach
Dubai, UAE

Nikki Beach Dubai
Dubai, UAE
A brand that kickstarted the international beach club scene, Nikki Beach needs no introduction. Serenely overlooking the coastline of Pearl Jumeira, it’s known worldwide for its combination of live entertainment and energetic vibes, so if you’re looking for a chilled out spot to relax and read a book, this probably isn’t for you. A super-sized swimming pool takes centre stage complete with a catwalk running through, and a bar surrounding a raised DJ booth making it ripe for the ‘gram. Expect plenty of cork-popping.
Kyma Beach
Dubai, UAE
This hot ticket at Palm West Beach, run in partnership between Twiggy-operator Rikas and St Regis The Palm has been a crowd-pleaser since its opening in September, with the Grecian-inspired hotspot already proving itself to be one of the best beach clubs in Dubai. Bringing the sophistication of Mediterranean coastal dining to Palm West Beach, it’s also home to an al fresco restaurant where guests can indulge in long, lazy lunches with their toes in the sand. The best bit? It focuses on wellbeing rather than throwing a hedonistic party, so you can leave your guilt at the door.
Twiggy by La Cantine
Dubai, UAE
While most of the best beach clubs in Dubai find themselves down near Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah, Twiggy by La Cantine has garnered some serious success by bucking the trend with its Dubai Creek location. Bringing a stylish take on the south of France to the Park Hyatt, you can base yourself at the al fresco restaurant terrace which serves up a delectable menu of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, or the swanky beach club where plush loungers and luxury cabanas line the pristine sands that lead to a 100-metre infinity pool. This sun-dappled spot is one of the best beach clubs in Dubai.
