Barasti Beach Dubai is a rare beach venue in this city that charges you nothing to walk in. No minimum spend, no day pass, no booking required. Just show up at Le Meridien Mina Seyahi, grab a sunbed by the pool or on the sand, and order when you feel like it. The venue underwent a full makeover in 2024, with an upgraded pool deck, 16 cabanas, and 9 hammocks, but its DNA has not changed. Pub food, cold drinks, live sports on big screens during the day, DJ sets and beach parties after dark. Here is everything you need to know before you go.
What You Will Pay at Barasti Beach Dubai
This is the headline: Barasti Beach Dubai is free to enter. Beach and pool access comes at no charge on most days, with no minimum spend required. That alone separates it from every other beach club in this cluster.
Ladies’ Deal: Sea Me
The “Sea Me” deal runs Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM.
| Package | Price | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | AED 175 | Beach and pool access, sunbed, bottomless tiki cocktails, lunch platter |
| VIP | Confirm with venue | All standard inclusions + private cabana + unlimited drinks |
Saturday Brunch: Tease Me
Every Saturday, 5 PM to 8 PM. A sunset pool brunch with 3 hours of free-flowing drinks and one dish from the brunch menu. DJ plays deep house and tropical sets throughout.
| Package | Price | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Ladies | AED 229 | 3 hours unlimited drinks + 1 bite |
| Gents | AED 269 | 3 hours unlimited drinks + 1 bite |
| Crew and Teachers | AED 179 | Special rate with valid ID |
Saturday Afterparty: Tempt Me
From 8 PM till late. The official afterparty following the Tease Me brunch.
| Package | Price | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Ladies | Free entry | 1 complimentary drink |
| Gents | AED 150 | 2 standard drinks |
| Crew and Teachers | AED 179 | Special rate with valid ID |
VIP and Cabanas
Prime sun loungers and VIP cabanas are bookable in advance, starting at AED 150. Regular cabanas are often available for free on a first-come basis, but this varies.
WOW Emirates Pro Tip: The crew and teachers rate (AED 179) at both Tease Me and Tempt Me is one of the best-value brunch deals in Dubai Marina. Bring your airline crew badge, teacher ID or similar, and you get the same 3-hour unlimited package for significantly less. Not many venues offer this.
What to Eat and Drink at Barasti Beach Dubai
Barasti’s menu is pub food with a beach twist. Do not expect MICHELIN-level cooking. Expect the kind of food that tastes exactly right when you have been in the sun for three hours and need something substantial.
- Popular bites: Mini Fish and Chips, Beef Chilli Con Carne Quesadilla, Grilled Chicken Satay, All Day Acai Bowl, Hawaiian Sunset Bowl, burgers, loaded fries, calamari, chicken wings. The brunch menu rotates seasonally.
- Drinks: House pours, cocktails, beers on tap, wines, spirits. Happy hour runs from 12 PM to 7 PM on weekdays with discounted drinks. Shisha is available on the beach deck and terrace.
- Price range: Casual. Mains from AED 50-120. Cocktails from AED 55-85. Beers from AED 40. This is not a venue where the bill shocks you.
WOW Emirates Pro Tip: Happy hour from 12-7 PM on weekdays is generous. If you arrive at noon on a Tuesday, you get free beach and pool access, discounted drinks for seven hours, and pub food whenever you are hungry. Total spend for a full day: AED 150-200, including food and drinks. Try doing that at Nikki Beach.
The Spaces: Beach, Pool, Mid-Deck and Sports Zone

- Mid-Deck / Restaurant – The outdoor terrace overlooking the Marina. Open 4 PM to midnight. Live sports on large screens, sailboats drifting past, casual dining and drinks. This is the pub side of Barasti beach, Dubai. If you are here for the football, this is your spot.
