Nikki Beach Dubai has been doing the beach club thing longer than almost anyone else in the city. Ten years and counting on Pearl Jumeira, a quiet island strip that sits between La Mer and DIFC. The beach club got a full refresh in late 2024 with new interiors, two new restaurants and an updated food menu. If your last visit was a couple of years ago, it looks and feels different now.
Here is everything you need to know before you go, including current pricing, brunch packages, what to eat and how to book.
Where Is Nikki Beach Dubai?
Nikki Beach sits inside the Nikki Beach Resort & Spa on Pearl Jumeira. It is about 1.5 km from La Mer and close to DIFC, which makes it one of the more accessible beach clubs if you are coming from the city centre. Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa are roughly 7 km away. Dubai International Airport is around 10 km away. Free parking is available on-site. Valet is also an option.
Opening Hours
The beach club is open Tuesday to Sunday, 11 AM to 7 PM. Closed every Monday – no exceptions. DJs play throughout the day from 11 AM onward.
Café Nikki (the resort’s all-day restaurant) runs separately and is open Monday to Sunday: breakfast 7-11 AM, lunch 12-5 PM, dinner 6-11 PM.
Beach Club Entry and Sunbed Prices (2026)
Nikki Beach has one of the widest ranges of bed and cabana options in Dubai. Prices differ between weekdays (Tuesday to Thursday) and weekends (Friday to Sunday). The entry-level beach loungers are the only category that is not redeemable for food and drinks. Everything else is fully redeemable, which is becoming increasingly rare across Dubai’s beach club scene.
| Bed / Cabana | Capacity | Tue – Thu | Fri – Sun | Redeemable on F&B? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beach Sun Lounger Beach (walk-in only) | 1 | AED 300 | AED 300 | Not redeemable |
| Opium Bed Beach, shaded roof | Up to 3 | AED 1,000 | AED 2,000 | Fully redeemable |
| Luxury Bed Beach | Up to 6 | AED 1,500 | AED 2,000 | Split on weekends Tue-Thu: fully on F&B. Fri-Sun: AED 1,000 F&B + AED 1,000 bottles |
| Luxury Bed Poolside First row by pool | Up to 6 | AED 2,000 | AED 3,000 | Split on weekends Tue-Thu: fully on F&B. Fri-Sun: AED 2,000 bottles + AED 1,000 F&B |
| Diamond Bed Pool peninsula | Up to 6 | AED 3,000 | AED 6,000 | Split on weekends Tue-Thu: fully on F&B. Fri-Sun: half F&B, half bottles |

* Pool access is 21+ only. Under-18s can access the beach area with a parent.
* Dress code: Smart and Elegant. Closed Mondays.
WOW Emirates Pro Tip: If you are a group of four or more, skip the basic sun loungers and go straight for an Opium Bed on a weekday. AED 1,000 fully redeemable on food and drinks.
What to Eat and Drink At Nikki Beach Dubai
Nikki Beach used to have three dining options. It now has five. The food menu at the beach club was overhauled under Executive Chef Kavish Chimajee and Corporate Executive Chef Alessandro Pizza, with a focus on locally sourced ingredients and shareable plates.
Nikki Beach Restaurant & Beach Club
This is the main beachside dining spot. Sushi boats, seafood platters, grilled specialities and signature cocktails. You can order directly to your sunbed or cabana without getting up. The menu leans international with strong seafood and Mediterranean influences.
Café Nikki
The resort’s all-day bistro. Open to everyone, not just resort guests. Breakfast buffet with Arabic specialities and gluten-free options, then light salads, sandwiches and seafood for lunch and dinner. Indoor and outdoor seating with water views. This is also where the Saturday Brunch happens.
Soul Lounge
In the hotel lobby. Shareable plates, cocktails, panoramic views. Chilled-out tunes during the day, then DJs pick up the pace after sunset. Good for a pre-dinner drink if you are heading elsewhere.
Maison Mer (opened November 2025)
The newest addition. A standalone Provençal restaurant by Nikki Beach Hospitality Group. Think southern French cooking with a waterfront terrace. Linguini with cherry tomatoes and catch of the day, courgette parmigiana, baby artichokes à la barigoule. Designed by in-house architect Remi Viale with furniture sourced from antique markets in Provence. Open Tuesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner.
Bungalo34 (by Tasha’s Group)
A Mediterranean restaurant celebrating Greek, French and Italian flavours. Replaced the old Key West concept. More intimate and refined than the main beach club dining.
WOW Emirates Pro Tip: Maison Mer’s terrace is one of the few genuine waterfront dining spots in Dubai. If you are doing a sunset dinner, book an outdoor table. The views across the Arabian Gulf are hard to beat.
Brunch at Nikki Beach Dubai
There are two brunch options, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.
Saturday Brunch at Café Nikki
Every Saturday from 12 PM to 7 PM. Buffet-style with sharing mains served tableside. A resident DJ and live musician keep things going. After brunch, beach access at the resort is available if sunbeds are free.
| Package | Price Per Person |
|---|---|
| Soft beverages | AED 350 |
| House spirits, wines, cocktails, beers | AED 500 |
| Premium champagne + all house drinks | AED 700 |
| Children 6 – 11 years | AED 175 |
| Children under 6 | Free |
Amazing Sundays Brunch (Beach Club)
Every Sunday from 12 PM to 3 PM. BBQ brunch platters to share, signature Nikki Beach cocktails, live entertainment. Three-hour packages.
| Package | Price Per Person |
|---|---|
| Soft beverages | AED 350 |
| Free-flowing house beverages | AED 450 |
| Children 6 – 11 years | AED 175 |
| Children under 6 | Free |
WOW Emirates Pro Tip: The Saturday brunch at Café Nikki is the more relaxed option with a longer window. The Sunday brunch at the beach club is higher energy, shorter and more of a party. Pick based on your mood.

Nikki Spa and Wellness
The resort has its own spa, gym and wellness circuit. Not part of the beach club entry, but worth knowing about if you want to make a full day of it.
- Nikki Spa has a hammam, sauna, steam room, ice fountain and a mixed vitality pool. Indoor and outdoor relaxation lounges are included. Treatments range from massages to body scrubs.
- Tone Gym is a full-service fitness centre open to resort guests and members.
- Current Spa Deal (until September 2026): AED 499 gets you a 60-minute spa treatment, beach and pool access, an ice bath session and a two-course lunch at Café Nikki. Available daily from 11 AM to 9 PM. That is genuinely good value for a five-star resort.

Is Nikki Beach Dubai Family-Friendly?
Sort of. The resort itself is family-friendly, with a dedicated beach and pool area for guests of all ages. But the beach club is a different story. The pool area is strictly 21+ only. Under-18s can access the beachside of the club when accompanied by a parent, but the energy and pricing are clearly aimed at adults.
If you have kids and want a beach day at the resort, the resort’s own beach and pool area (separate from the club) is a better fit. Full food and drink service to your sunbed is available there too.
