Pool Days in Dubai

At the top end, Cloud 22 at Atlantis The Royal and AURA Skypool on Palm Tower are two of the most spectacular options in the city. Views that genuinely stop you in your tracks, premium food and drinks, and an experience that justifies the price tag. For something more relaxed and easier on the wallet, options from around 100 AED with fully redeemable credit are available across the city on weekdays. Browse Uncover DXB and filter by budget to find what fits.

Entry starts from around 100 AED at the more accessible end, with a good chunk of that often fully redeemable on food and drinks. Private cabanas at premium venues can run well over 1,000 AED, but split across a group they often represent solid value. The range is wide, which is why the budget filter on Uncover DXB is worth using first.

It varies. Some venues offer fully redeemable entry, some partial, and some none at all. It also changes day to day and week to week as venues update their offers. Always check before you book, and use Uncover DXB to find current deals with redeemable credit.

Yes. The vast majority of pool days listed on Uncover DXB are open to non-guests. You pay a day pass fee, get access to the pool and facilities, and in many cases a portion or all of that fee comes back to you in food and drink credit.

AURA Skypool on Palm Tower is the world’s highest 360-degree infinity pool, 200 metres up with views across the Palm, the Marina and the Gulf in every direction. Cloud 22 at Atlantis The Royal sits 96 metres above Palm Jumeirah and is one of the most photographed pools in the city. For a Downtown view with the Burj Khalifa front and centre, Address Sky View is hard to beat. All three are open to non-guests on a day pass.

Worth it, especially on weekends and at the bigger name venues which fill up fast. Weekday sessions at most spots are more flexible and walk-ins are often fine, but if you have a specific venue in mind don’t leave it to chance.
