Dubai beach clubs 2026: best spots, prices and how to book
Poolside daybeds with a sea view, sunset sets and a minimum spend instead of an entry fee. The top beach clubs and how to pick yours.
The short version
A Dubai beach club is a daytime club on the shore: a pool, daybeds, a DJ, a bar and a kitchen. There is usually no entry fee, but a minimum spend applies, which you put towards food and drinks. The best season is October to May, and in the heat clubs stay open but are nicest in the morning and at sunset. Tables and daybeds sell out at weekends, so book a few days ahead.
How it works
- Instead of a ticket, a minimum spend is taken from your bill for food and drinks.
- Weekdays are cheaper than weekends, and a poolside daybed costs more than a sunbed on the sand.
- Alcohol is served, venues are licensed, and many have a 21+ age policy.
- Beachwear by day, smarter for dinner.
The top beach clubs
- WHITE Beach (Atlantis The Palm): infinity pool, sunset, premium level.
- Nikki Beach (Pearl Jumeira): the genre classic, day parties and brunches.

- SAL (): an exclusive club by the iconic hotel.

Prices, a guide
- Weekday minimum spend: from 150–300 AED per person
- Weekends and premium clubs: 350–700 AED and up
- A daybed for a group: a deposit from 1,500–4,000 AED
Figures shift by season and day of the week, so we will confirm exact rates and availability for your dates when booking.
Tip: for sunset, book a daybed on the west side (Palm West Beach, WHITE), drink prices are the same in the evening but the view is far better. A weekday is calmer and cheaper than a weekend.
Who it suits
- Couples, for sunset over the sea.
- Groups, where a daybed and a shared minimum work out better per head.
- Anyone who wants beach, pool and a party in one place.
If you want a day on the water without the crowd, we also with a swim stop, which is more private than a beach club. The best free public beaches are covered in the .
