    Known for its array of premium beach destinations and with many new ones having recently opened, we’re here to keep you in the know about only the best.

    Keep it maxi
    A flowy, lightweight maxi dress in bright colors or tropical prints paired with flat sandals or wedges. Add oversized sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and a woven bag for a chic touch.
    A cover-Up
    A stylish bikini or one-piece with a sheer, flowy cover-up or kimono. Go for neutral tones or bold patterns, and accessorize with statement earrings and a straw hat.
    High-Waisted Shorts and Crop Top
    Pair high-waisted shorts with a stylish crop top or bralette. You can add a light linen shirt on top, left unbuttoned. Complete the look with sandals and a crossbody bag.
    Matching Co-Ord Set
    A matching set, like a skirt and crop top combo or shorts and a blouse, is an easy way to look put together. Choose lightweight fabrics like linen or cotton for a breezy feel.
    Designed with its aesthetic sun beds, a well-curated menu and a lively ambience, beach clubs are the ultimate spot to book a day out to rejuvenate and unwind.
    With that, here’s an Emirates Woman guide of the best beach clubs to visit in Dubai ASAP.
