You’ll be spoilt for choice with the glorious sandy beaches in Dubai.
In association with Visit Dubai
CELEB favourite Dubai is so much more than swanky hotels and five star brunches.
Choose Dubai for a beach holiday and you’ll be spoilt for choice – there are glorious beaches for everyone to enjoy.
Just a seven hour flight away from the UK and with temperatures rarely dropping below 20C travellers can bask in ten hours of sizzling sunshine every day – so it’s perfect beach weather all year round.
Lapped by crystal-clear, turquoise waters, the pristine beaches are great for families, couples and friends who want to have fun on holiday.
If you’re after a simple day at the beach, catching rays and chilling out, you’ll find fantastic facilities, including towel-rental kiosks and great picnic spots all over Dubai.
And if you fancy being a little more adventurous you could try kayaking, kite surfing – or even camel riding – the list of activities available is endless.
If you’re staying in one of the many gorgeous, glitzy hotels Dubai has to offer you’ll likely have access to your own private beach – but there are lots of fantastic free public beaches to try too.
La Mer
Enjoy laid back fun at Dubai’s eclectic beach front, La Mer.
As well as its pristine beach, La Mer boasts long, palm tree lined boulevards perfect for lazy late afternoon strolls.
The bright wooden shower cabins, multi-coloured graffiti, crystal-clear water and white sand are a great contrast to the backdrop of Dubai’s ultra-modern high-rise buildings and are some of Dubai’s most Instagrammable sights which will give all of your followers travel envy.
Plus families with children will love the trampoline park and everyone will enjoy the thrills and spills of Laguna Waterpark.
The Beach at JBR
Adrenaline junkies should cross one of the bridges over the Dubai Marina to visit The Beach at JBR.
Its white sands offer opportunities for watersports, banana boating and camel rides, and there’s a running track on the boardwalk.
You’ll also find AquaFun Water Park, which is said to be the largest inflatable water park in the world – one for the bucket list whatever your age.
If you’re looking to extend your beach day into the evening you’ll find loads of amazing restaurants alongside the beach and along The Walk Promenade.
Kite Beach
Kite Beach is so named because it’s famous for kite surfing – but you can also try your hand at paddle boarding there, too!
Kite Beach is also the perfect place to rack up those Instagram likes – take a selfie with the iconic Burj Al Arab hotel right behind you.
Sunset Beach
Naturally, the best time to visit Sunset Beach is at sunset. If you’re travelling as a couple you can’t beat a romantic beach stroll at sunset with a view of one of the world’s most iconic buildings.
Beach Clubs
If you want to lap up the beach vibes without having to brush sand off your toes then you’re in luck. Dubai has beach clubs in abundance and they’re great for couples who want a taste of luxury – and most offer daily memberships.
Super-chic Nikki Beach has pool and beachside loungers, food and drink, fun–themed days and musical acts.
Or head to Drift, a private beach club with a stunning infinity pool, lush landscaped surroundings and a fabulous restaurant offering Provençal cuisine. Relax on a lounger or cabana, admiring the sea in front of you and panoramic views of Dubai’s impressive skyline behind.
There’s no doubt that Dubai is a chart-topping destination for anyone looking for the best beach holiday ever!
