Dubai’s beach-club season is properly back. With temperatures beginning to ease, pools, beachfront restaurants and sunbeds across Palm Jumeirah, JBR, Bluewaters Island and Dubai Harbour are once again becoming some of the city’s most appealing daytime spots.
Rather than covering all 15 venues from the original list, here are 10 standout options that are currently operating, including several that stayed open through summer and others now settling into the new outdoor season.
Nobu by the Beach

Nobu’s first dedicated beach club combines its Japanese-Peruvian dining style with an infinity pool, private beachfront setting and plenty of space to spend the day beside the water.

Weekend and public-holiday loungers are currently AED300, including AED150 in dining credit. Pool access is for guests aged 21 and above.
There are also half-day loungers and private daybeds for those who want a shorter or more secluded pool experience.

Summersalt remains one of Dubai’s more polished beachfront options, sitting on the sands at Jumeirah Al Naseem with views towards Burj Al Arab.
The venue combines a private beach and pool with Latin American-inspired dining and cocktails, making it equally suitable for a full beach day or a long lunch by the water.

SĀN remains one of Palm West Beach’s strongest all-day beach-club options.

Be Beach
Be Beach is fully back in action at Dubai Harbour, combining a beachfront infinity pool with Mediterranean dining and a much livelier music programme once the afternoon moves towards sunset.
The club has sunbeds and cabanas around its temperature-controlled pool, while the restaurant can also be visited separately by guests who prefer dining and drinks without booking pool access.
Its current October programme confirms the venue is operating again for the new season, with guest DJ events scheduled throughout the month. Be Beach currently opens daily from 10 am, with extended hours on weekends.

Dubai’s new beach-club season offers plenty of variety. Nobu by the Beach, Summersalt and DRIFT suit a more refined pool day; Nikki Beach and Be Beach bring stronger music and social energy, while SĀN, La Cantine Beach and Maison Revka combine the beachfront with distinctive dining and lifestyle concepts. For a completely different perspective, ZETA Seventy Seven takes the pool-day experience 77 floors above the coastline.
