night swim

Life

July 24, 2025

Without limiting outdoor pools to winter, Dubai is always a step ahead when it comes to enjoying outdoor activities such as a night swim even during summer.
Ideal for cooling off after work or starting your weekend, night swims offer spectacular skyline and sea views, cool waters, and the laid-back glamour that defines the emirate’s warmer months.
Overall, night swims have emerged as the city’s chicest way to cool down from the week, offering a blend of serene ambience, skyline views, and elevated leisure. Whether it’s a twilight dip at AURA Skypool with panoramic vistas of the Palm, a curated evening affair at La Cantine Beach, or the understated luxury of Drift’s moonlit lounging, these after-dark escapes redefine summer in the city.
Curated with softly lit pools, curated soundtracks, and menus designed for poolside indulgence, night swims are no longer just a reprieve from the heat, they’re the new social hour for those who prefer their summer soirées served with a side of starlight.
So if you’re deciding where to go and what to wear, see our full Emirates Woman guide to keep you occupied during summer.
