Six beach clubs compared
#1
Nikki Beach Dubai
The resort lists a weekday pass (Monday to Thursday) at AED 150 per adult and AED 75 per child, and a weekend pass (Friday to Sunday and public holidays) at AED 300 per adult and AED 150 per child. Passes are non-redeemable and include a bottle of water, a beach sunbed and a towel, from 10 AM to sunset. Beach beds are first-come, first-served.
#2
Drift Beach
Drift's own site lists sun loungers from AED 150 on weekdays, fully redeemable, and from AED 250 at weekends, with AED 125 redeemable. A cabana for two guests is AED 600 on weekdays and AED 900 at weekends, an island bed AED 1,000 and AED 1,500. Pool and beach are open from 10 AM to 7 PM. No children under 16 are allowed, and guests aged 16 to 20 need a parent.
#3
Barasti Beach
Gulf News's roundup of May offers lists free entry daily at Barasti, open from 9 AM to 3 AM. It says valid ID is required for entry, that there are no reservations and that beds are first-come, first-served. Age rules are not stated in the roundup, so check with the venue, especially if you plan to bring children or teenagers.
#4
Gallery 7/40
Gulf News lists complimentary access from Monday to Friday and AED 200 on Saturday and Sunday, fully redeemable on food and drinks, open daily from 10 AM to sunset. The roundup says all ages are welcome on the beach. Confirm the current rules before you bring young children, because clubs change their policies.
#5
Eva Beach Club
Gulf News lists AED 150 per person, fully redeemable, open daily from 10 AM to 7 PM. Children aged 16 and under receive complimentary access when they come with their parents, which makes it one of the more family-friendly clubs we found. The roundup gives no separate weekend price, so ask whether weekends cost more.
#6
Maison Revka
Gulf News lists AED 250 from Monday to Thursday, fully redeemable on food and drinks, open daily from 10 AM to sunset. It is listed as adults only, with a 16 and over rule, so it suits couples and friends, not families. The roundup gives no weekend price, so check before you plan a Friday or Saturday.
Beach clubs in Dubai: the short answer
A beach club day pass in Dubai costs from nothing at Barasti to AED 150 on a weekday and AED 300 at the weekend for an adult at Nikki Beach. In the other clubs we list, a pass is AED 150 to 250 per person and most of it comes back as credit for food and drinks. Weekends cost more, children are welcome at some clubs and barred at others, and the legal drinking age is 21 everywhere.
We took prices from the clubs' own sites where we could read them (Nikki Beach, Drift and Address Hotels) and from a Gulf News roundup of May offers, updated on 29 April 2026, for Barasti, Gallery 7/40, Eva Beach Club and Maison Revka. Clubs change prices by season and by day, so check before you go.
Prices and age rules at a glance
The table puts the clubs side by side. Redeemable means the price comes back as credit on food and drinks.
| Club | Where | Weekday | Weekend | Redeemable | Age rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nikki Beach | Pearl Jumeira | AED 150 adult, AED 75 child | AED 300 adult, AED 150 child | No; includes water, sunbed, towel | Child rates listed |
| Drift Beach | One&Only Royal Mirage | From AED 150 | From AED 250 | Weekday all; weekend AED 125 | 16 and over; 16 to 20 with a parent |
| Barasti Beach | Le Méridien Mina Seyahi | Free | Free | Not applicable | ID required; age not stated |
| Gallery 7/40 | Palm West Beach | Free, Mon to Fri | AED 200 | Yes, on food and drinks | All ages welcome on the beach |
| Eva Beach Club | West Beach, Palm | AED 150 | Not listed | Fully | Children 16 and under free with parents |
| Maison Revka | Delano, Bluewaters | AED 250, Mon to Thu | Not listed | Fully | Adults only, 16 and over |
| Address Beach Resort pass | JBR | AED 250 | AED 250 | AED 100 | Children under 12 free with one paying adult |
Sources: Nikki Beach, Drift and Address Hotels pages, read on 2 November 2026; Gulf News roundup updated 29 April 2026 for the others.
Drift's page has one inconsistency: it bars children under 16 from the club, yet says its beach houses welcome families and that children are allowed only in the beach area. Confirm the rule for your group before you pay.
Day pass, redeemable credit and minimum spend
A day pass buys access and a sunbed. Redeemable means that the price comes back as credit on food and drinks, so you pay nothing extra if you eat and drink that amount. A minimum spend works the other way round: you reserve a bed or table and agree to spend at least a set sum. Nikki Beach's pass is non-redeemable, and it includes water, a sunbed and a towel. Drift's cabanas, island beds and beach houses are fully redeemable, so their price works as a minimum spend.
Always ask which kind of price you are given. AED 250 redeemable costs you less than AED 250 non-redeemable. Also ask about taxes: Address Hotels states that its pass prices include a 10% service charge, a 7% municipality fee and 5% VAT, and other clubs may add them on top.
Age limits: who can go where
Age rules vary more than prices. Nikki Beach lists child prices, Eva Beach Club gives children aged 16 and under free entry with their parents, and Gallery 7/40 welcomes all ages on the beach. Drift admits only guests of 16 and over, and Maison Revka is adults only. At Address Beach Resort, children under 12 enter free with one paying adult, and each extra child is AED 100 with AED 50 redeemable.
The legal drinking age is 21 whatever a club's entry age, so a 17-year-old may enter some clubs but cannot drink; our alcohol laws guide has the rules. For a family plan around the pool and beach, see Dubai with kids and our guide to hotel pools and day passes.
Dress, rules and what to bring
Swimwear belongs to the beach and the pool. Cover up when you walk through the hotel or into a restaurant. Barasti asks for valid ID at entry, so bring your passport or a copy. Nikki Beach includes a towel; check whether the others do before you leave your hotel.
Alcohol is served in the club's licensed bars, not on the public sand next door. The dress code guide and the beach rules and safety guide cover swimwear, flags and night swimming.
Season and timing
From November to March the sea is about 20-24°C and the beach is comfortable all day, according to our best beaches guide. From May to September the beach works early and late. Gulf News's list covers May offers, so winter offers and prices may differ.
Most clubs list opening hours from 10 AM to sunset or 7 PM, and Barasti is open until 3 AM. Weekend prices are higher at Nikki Beach and Drift, so a weekday is the cheaper choice if your dates are flexible.
Beach club, public beach or the sea
A club buys a sunbed, shade and service. A public beach is free: the best beaches guide covers JBR, Kite Beach and Sunset Beach, and Palm West Beach and the boardwalk covers the Palm's clubs.
If you want the sea more than a sunbed, our jet ski to the Burj Al Arab is from $79 per jet ski and starts at Umm Suqeim Fishing Harbour in Jumeirah. Parasailing from the same harbour is from $99 for flyers aged 15 and over. The shared yacht tour is from $32 and leaves from the Marina.
