The New Address – Cove Beach
Cove Beach is back, and it’s moved to Caesars Bluewaters. Their new ultra-luxe location is perfect for pool days (and by that we mean lounging ankle-deep with your newest summer accessories). Chill out in their restaurant, pink-grape lounge or in one of their three pools during the day, and stay ‘til sundown for more of a club vibe. Note: you’ll want to bring heels in your bag
Find Cove Beach at Caesar’s Palace Bluewaters. Pool and beach access is Dhs100, including a drink and towel. Call +971 50 454 6920 or visit covebeach.com
The All-Dayer – Soho Beach DXB
“Not only is the atmosphere amazing, but their Friday brunch is one of the best spots to bring (probably quite pale) out-of-towners”
If you’re looking to party and soak up the sun at the same time, Soho Beach is the place for you. Not only is the atmosphere amazing, but their Friday brunch is one of the best spots to bring (probably quite pale) out-of-towners. You’ll be dancing ‘til the sun goes down and, most likely, won’t even notice.
Find Soho Beach at Meydan Grandstand. Tuesday Ladies’ Day, Dhs145 for unlimited food and beverages. Friday Brunch, Dhs275 for unlimited food and beverages. Call +971 52 433 3375 or visit sohobeachdxb.com

W Dubai The Palm is home to one of Dubai’s newest beach clubs, and the huge venue has something for everyone. Sun worshippers can relax on luxe loungers, while party animals can make their way to the WET Deck for drinks, DJs and questionable dancing (ours, not yours). They also host ladies day every Sunday with unlimited drinks for Dhs150 – do you need a better excuse to call in sick?

The Low-Key Lounge – Summersalt
Summersalt Beach Club is the perfect place to relax and unwind – with its pristine beach and sparkling infinity pool, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were in the Mediterranean, except for the fact that the Burj Al Arab is literally right there.

The One to Watch – Nammos
If you’ve ever been to Greece, chances are you’ve heard of Nammos – Mykonos’ ultimate beach-party destination. Lucky for us, the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach is bringing the party to our sandy shores. Nammos is known for its extravagant parties and celebrity guests, so we’re sure it’ll be a hit when it opens later this year.
