Booking a sunbed in Dubai is less about finding a beach than choosing the right area. Most venues on this page are on Palm Jumeirah, with others in Dubai Marina, JBR, Bluewaters and Jumeirah, and one in neighbouring Ajman.
The cards below show the venues you can book online, from a simple sunbed to a daybed or a cabana. The exact price appears once you pick a date.
Palm Jumeirah: beach clubs and resort beaches
Palm Jumeirah has the widest choice of sunbeds in Dubai. Beach clubs such as Riva Beach Club on the Shoreline, or Kyma Beach on the west side of the Palm, share the island with resort beaches like Rixos The Palm, Anantara The Palm and The Retreat Palm.
The trade-off is distance: most venues are a taxi ride from the rest of the city, so the Palm works best for a full day rather than a quick stop.
Dubai Marina, JBR and Bluewaters
Dubai Marina and JBR are easy to explore on foot, which keeps a beach day simple if you are staying nearby. Sheraton Jumeirah Beach Resort offers sunbeds on JBR, and Be Beach sits at Dubai Harbour, next to the Marina.
Just offshore, Bluewaters Island is home to Delano Dubai and La Cantine Beach, both at the same address, with beach and pool on one site.
Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim and La Mer: the public beaches
Dubai also has free public beaches along Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim, such as Kite Beach, with its food trucks and skatepark, or Sunset Beach, facing the Burj Al Arab. La Mer adds a beachfront promenade and a water park. These beaches have no sunbed service, so bring your own shade.
Three of them, Jumeirah 2, Jumeirah 3 and Umm Suqeim 1, have been lit for night swimming since 2023, with lifeguards on duty. For a beach club in the same part of the city, Nikki Beach Dubai is on Pearl Jumeirah.
Sunbed, daybed or cabana: what you are booking
In Dubai, the price depends on the spot and on what comes with it. At most venues, all or part of what you pay can be spent on food and drinks on site. Check the venue card before booking:
- Spot: sunbed, daybed or cabana, by the pool or on the sand.
- Credit: the share of the price you can spend at the restaurant or bar.
- Access: beach only, pool only, or both.
- Timing: full day or afternoon, with arrival times set by each venue.
For a day by the sea with music and a restaurant, compare the beach clubs in Dubai. If you mainly want a hotel pool, see the pool day pass in Dubai options.
When to book and how to get there
The most comfortable months run from November to April. From June to September the heat is intense: choose shaded spots or temperature-controlled pools, and book ahead for weekends and public holidays, when the best-placed sunbeds go first.
The metro runs along Sheikh Zayed Road but does not reach every beach or Palm Jumeirah directly. Taxis and ride-hailing apps fill the gap, and most venues offer valet parking.

Yes. Dubai has free public beaches such as Kite Beach, Jumeirah Public Beach and Sunset Beach in Umm Suqeim, and some are lit for night swimming with lifeguards on duty. They have no sunbed service, so a beach club or a resort is the easier choice if you want shade, a sunbed and a restaurant in the same place.
