Grab your SPF
Good news – you might just have enough time to enjoy Dubai sunshine before it becomes unbearably hot.
Per a directive from Dubai Tourism, Dubai private beaches are back in business under strict guidelines and to celebrate this positive step towards some form of normality, we have put together a roundup of our all-time favourite beachside hotels.
Because, let’s face it, after weeks in self-isolation we all deserve a change of scene.
One & Only Royal Mirage
With one of the most Instagrammed beaches, One & Only Royal Mirage will fill you with a sense of occasion from the moment you drive up to the reception. With plenty of open spaces and restaurant options, as well as the ever popular Jetty Lounge, it is one of the most elegant ways to spend the weekend away.
Four Seasons Resort Dubai
Arguably the most comfortable sleeps you’ll find in the whole of Dubai, Four Seasons never fails to impress with its service and beautifully designed spaces. The beach itself offers all-day sunshine, while the adjacent village of restaurants is home to Scalini and COYA.
Fairmont The Palm
With views towards the Marina, the sunsets on the beach at Fairmont The Palm are as golden as the sand. There’s also 11 dining options and a warm family-friendly service.
Mandarin Oriental Jumeira
The first Mandarin Oriental hotel in the UAE became an instant hit when it opened it’s doors. From an opulent yet contemporary lobby decorated in bronze trees, all the way to the pristine beach, a stay is a fabulous as you imagine.
Waldorf Astoria, Palm Jumeirah
This grand hotel looks out towards the Burj Al Arab and beyond from i’s expansive beach. All rooms have balconies and almost all have sea views which is always a bonus. The rooms have a calm and subdued design, ideal for relaxing after hours in the sunshine.

Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort
A little piece of Thailand can be found towards the end of the east crescent of Palm Jumeirah. With plenty of room options to choose from, why not treat yourself to one of the over-water villas or one of Beach Pool Villas which come with a private infinity pool on a sea-facing terrace.
Jumeirah Al Naseem
Imagine spending the weekend strolling along the mile-long sandy shoreline. This fashionable resort within a resort is ideal for beach lovers. With numerous dining options on the doorstep, you also have access to all the facilities within the Madinat Jumeirah complex.
Nikki Beach Dubai
Nikki Beach might be located further than some of the other resorts in Dubai, but it truly feels like an escape from the city. The boho-cool white decor instantly soothes the mind, while the beach offers so much space that at one point you feel like you’re on your own private island.
