We’re lucky enough here in the UAE (and the wider region), that we can indulge in beach season all year round (albeit May to August is particularly hot).
But this also means we need to be beach ready at the drop of the hat (which you may also need), whether it’s a one piece designed to make a statement or a bikini to be layered beneath a linen set. And while international Maisons continue to dominate the conversation when it comes to fashionable swimwear, there are a growing number of homegrown brands from right here in the UAE, which the GRAZIA team is already obsessed with.
From impeccably crafted one-pieces to bikinis with a fashion-first perspective, GRAZIA brings to you the swimwear brands to have on your radar for this season.
Suncillo
Inspired by the effortless glamour of the Mediterranean, Dubai-based Suncillo, founded by Algerian creative Ludmilla Laradi, creates swimwear and resortwear that feels feminine, elevated and made for long days in the sun. Expect flattering silhouettes, subtle sparkle and versatile pieces that transition seamlessly from the beach to dinner.
KIMKINI
Founded in Dubai by Kimberly Champlin, KIMKINI has built a loyal following for its handmade-to-order swimwear crafted from recycled ocean waste. The brand is best known for its reversible bikinis, bold prints and sustainable approach, proving that statement swimwear can also be consciously made.
Léa The Label
Founded by Léa Daaboul, the brand combines timeless design with a strong focus on sustainability. Made using premium Italian ECONYL® fabrics that are UV protective, resistant to chlorine and sun-tan oils, the collections are defined by clean lines, neutral palettes and minimalist silhouettes that are designed well to last beyond a single season.
Garcia Swimwear
Founded by Nayana Garcia in the UAE, Garcia Swimwear was created for women who favour understated elegance over fleeting trends. Designed with refined silhouettes and premium fabrics, each piece embodies modern femininity while bringing a polished approach to luxury beachwear.
Always On Holiday
Founded in Dubai by Finnish designer Laura Vilppula, Always On Holiday was born from a desire to create luxury swimwear that prioritises fit as much as style. Designed especially for curvier figures, the collections combine supportive construction with timeless, feminine silhouettes that are made to be worn from sunrise to sunset.
