Most people write off beach clubs the second the thermometer hits 45°C. They shouldn’t. A long list of Dubai beach clubs stay open right through summer, and plenty have dropped their day pass rates or made entry fully redeemable to pull you in. Here’s the verified rundown for June to September 2026. Which clubs are open, what you actually pay in AED and USD, and which ones have locked the gates until the weather cools. If you want the broader picture on value, our guide to the best day pass offers in Dubai pairs neatly with this.
Beach Clubs Open in Dubai This Summer
COVEBEACH, JBR
Dubai’s most-loved homegrown beach club doesn’t need a celebrity DJ or a Michelin name on the menu to fill its loungers. Two pools: one for families, one strictly adults cabanas. And a stretch of sand that gets the proportions right. It’s the kind of setup that works because it doesn’t try too hard.
This summer, Weekdays are AED 100 (around $27), fully redeemable against food and drinks. Weekends come in at AED 150 ($41), also fully redeemable, with 10% off your bill. Push that to a weekday and the discount climbs to 15%. Do the maths and a weekday visit at Cove is essentially free entry. You’re paying a deposit against whatever you were going to order anyway. At AED 100 fully redeemable, you’re not paying for access. You’re just pre-loading your lunch tab.
Wow-Emirates Expert Tip: COVEBEACH on a weekday is the smartest play of the summer. AED 100 that comes back in full on food and drink means your sun lounger is effectively free.
SAN Beach, Palm West Beach
One of the better-looking beach clubs on Palm West Beach, SAN runs a temperature-controlled pool plus rows of beds by the sea. Through June, AED 200 ($54) gets you pool and beach access and 100% redeemability on food and drink. Perfect for beach clubs open in Dubai summer.
Wet Deck, W Dubai – The Palm
This adults-only pool has a swim-up bar, in-water loungers and a short walk to the resort beach. Summer day passes are AED 150 ($41) and fully redeemable every day of the week, making them one of the most consistent value options if you are looking for beach clubs open in Dubai summer.
Beach by FIVE, FIVE Palm Jumeirah
The beach club at FIVE Palm Jumeirah has a 150-metre private beach, double-width sun loungers, in-beach jacuzzis, a glass-lined pool with a chandelier. Along with the panoramic views sweeping across the Dubai Marina skyline and the Arabian Gulf. There are DJs. There is a bar. By evening it turns into something else entirely. A weekday beach day pass sunbed and towels included is AED 100 (around $27), fully redeemable against food and drinks. Weekends step up to AED 150 ($41), also fully redeemable. Cabanas are AED 200 per person on weekdays and AED 250 on weekends, for up to six people, again fully redeemable.
At AED 100 fully redeemable on a weekday, you’re essentially arriving with a pre-loaded food and drinks tab and nothing else coming off your card unless you go beyond it. The beach is open daily from 9AM to sunset.
O Beach, Habtoor Grand
The Ibiza heavyweight on the JBR beachfront stays open through summer with pool parties Thursday to Sunday. Packages start from AED 100 ($27), including unlimited drinks, with in-water beds and private-jacuzzi cabanas if you want to push the boat out. If you want the backstory, we covered O Beach’s arrival in Dubai when it launched.
Playa Pacha, FIVE LUXE
Pacha’s beachfront sister keeps the music going all summer. Free entry Monday to Thursday, with fully redeemable pool passes from AED 200 ($54), Friday to Sunday.
Tagomago, Palm Jumeirah
Balearic-inspired and open all summer, with an adults-only pool that juts over the water and a family beach. Beach rates are AED 150 ($41) weekdays and AED 200 ($54) weekends. Pool loungers are AED 200 ($54) weekdays and AED 250 ($68) weekends, with the full rate back to spend.
La Cantine Beach, Bluewaters
A sporty Bluewaters club with adults-only and family pools. The AED 250 ($68) weekday fee is fully redeemable on food and drink. Weekends are AED 300 ($82) with AED 150 redeemable. Ladies get complimentary sunbeds Monday to Friday with food and drink.
Mare by Bussola, The Westin
A European-styled pool and beach club open daily from 9am to sunset, for ages 16 and up. No entrance fee, just a minimum spend of AED 200 ($54) on weekdays and AED 350 ($95) on weekends.
Nikki Beach, Pearl Jumeira
Ten years in and still going through summer. Weekday access is AED 200 ($54) per person, fully redeemable. Weekend loungers start from AED 250 ($68) with AED 150 back. There is also a Tuesday ladies’ day, a Wednesday residents deal at AED 175 ($48) for three drinks, a main and a lounger, and weekend pool brunches from AED 350 ($95).
Sirene by GAIA, J1 Beach
An Aegean-styled spot on J1 Beach built for calm rather than chaos. Weekday entry is AED 200 ($54) for the beach and from AED 300 ($82) for the pool, all of which are fully redeemable on Greek-leaning dishes and cocktails.
Nobu by the Beach, Atlantis The Royal
Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s beach house at Atlantis The Royal, all minimalist Japanese lines and ocean-facing terrace. Summer pool days are AED 250 ($68) fully redeemable Monday to Thursday and AED 175 ($48) redeemable Friday to Sunday. The poolside Nobu menu makes this one of the better summer food calls.
Nammos, Four Seasons Jumeirah Beach
The Mykonos export reopened after a six-month refurbishment and stays open through the summer. Beach passes are AED 300 ($82), fully redeemable, with mahogany sunbeds running down to the sand.
Kyma, Palm West Beach
A Grecian-styled club from Rikas with a sugar-sand infinity pool. The midweek package is AED 275 ($75) for pool access, a welcome drink and a three-course set menu. Weekday rates are fully redeemable; weekend rates are 50% redeemable.
Maison Revka, Delano Dubai
Slavic-Parisian styling and a stylish pool deck at Delano. Through June, Monday to Thursday is fully redeemable from AED 250 ($68) for a sunbed up to AED 1,500 ($408) for pool cabanas. Friday to Sunday, sun loungers are AED 300 ($82) with 50% back, and pool cabanas start from AED 2,000 ($544), fully redeemable.
Gigi Rigolatto, J1 Beach
St Tropez’s Dolce Vita import on J1 Beach, complete with a kids club. Beach loungers are AED 300 ($82), fully redeemable Monday to Thursday or 50% redeemable Friday to Sunday. Pool loungers follow the same structure, starting at AED 400 ($109). Ladies get free sunbeds with any food and drink.
Baoli, J1 Beach
From Cannes to J1 Beach, set over 2,000 square metres with a pool, beach and a now fully air-conditioned restaurant for summer. Beach loungers start from AED 250 ($68), pool loungers are AED 500 ($136), both fully redeemable for ladies and gents, Monday to Thursday. Note the rate is non-redeemable for gents Friday to Sunday, so weekdays are the value window.
Wow-Emirates Expert Tip: J1 Beach is the strongest single cluster for summer beach clubbing this year. Gigi Rigolatto, Baoli, and Sirene by GAIA are all within walking distance of each other and are running redeemable summer rates. Pick one area to try and make it this one.
Safina, One&Only The Palm
Superyacht-inspired pool days with cream loungers and sea views at One&Only The Palm. Entry is AED 250 ($68) per person on weekdays and AED 350 ($95) on weekends. Worth knowing: these rates are non-redeemable, so you pay on top of food and drink.
Drift, One&Only Royal Mirage (closing 12 July)
Open now but closing for the summer from 12 July, so this one is time-limited. Ladies pay from AED 150 ($41) Tuesday to Thursday and from AED 200 ($54) Friday to Sunday, both fully redeemable. Gents pay from AED 150 ($41) with AED 75 back midweek, rising to AED 250 ($68) with AED 125 back on weekends.

Beach Clubs Closed for Summer 2026
Just as useful to know before you drive out. Some of these are seasonal breaks, some are long renovations, and two have closed for good.
| Beach Club | Location | Status | Reopening |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summersalt | Jumeirah Al Naseem | Seasonal close | September 2026 |
| Be Beach | Dubai Harbour | Closed June 14 | September 2026 |
| Kinugawa | Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab | Closed end May | September 2026 |
| AURA Skypool | Palm Tower | Renovation | September 1, 2026 |
| Casa Amor | Mandarin Oriental Jumeira | Seasonal break | October 2026 |
| Cloud 22 | Atlantis The Royal | Closed since Feb, makeover | Later in 2026 |
| The Lagoon (ex-Twiggy) | Park Hyatt Dubai, Creek | Hotel renovation | End of 2026 |
| Barasti | Le Méridien Mina Seyahi | Closed June 21, full rebuild | 2027 |
| SAL | Burj Al Arab | Closed April, hotel restoration | 2027 |
| Verde Beach | Jumeirah Beach Hotel | Closed for good | New location teased |
| BCH:CLB | W Dubai – The Palm | Closed for good | Not confirmed |
| Casablanca | Atlantis The Palm | Temporarily closed | Not confirmed |
SAL has shut down alongside the Burj Al Arab itself, which entered an 18-month restoration in April and is expected to reopen in 2027. Barasti threw its final party on 21 June after 30 years, and it returns in 2027 as a rebuilt venue at Dubai Harbour. AURA Skypool, the high-rise pool on Palm Tower, is the quickest turnaround on the closed list, back September 1.
Surviving a Dubai Summer Beach Day
- Go early or late. The open clubs are most bearable from 10 AM to noon and again from 4 PM. The 1 PM to 3 PM stretch is brutal, even with shade and misting.
- Book the shaded spots first. Cabanas go fast in summer because everyone wants out of the direct sun. Reserve before you travel.
- Chase “fully redeemable”. Any club that gives you the full entry fee back on food and drink effectively offers free seating, since you were going to eat anyway. That is the shortlist to prioritise, led by COVEBEACH, SAN, Wet Deck and Nikki Beach.
- Watch the non-redeemable weekends. Safina is non-redeemable, and Baoli flips non-redeemable for gents from Friday to Sunday.
- Fine if you want to splurge, but weekday visits are a better value almost everywhere. For more low-season value ideas, our best daycations in Dubai guide is a good next read.
