Toast to the sunset, feet in sand, cocktail in hand…
There’s nothing quite like that feeling: the sand beneath your feet, taking in in a stunning, Insta-worthy sunset with a cold drink in reach. Fortunately, Dubai has a number of amazing beach bars giving you the chance to do just that.
We’re not talking about just any old beach-side bar, however. We are talking about toes in the sand, cocktail in hand and the most epic sunset views you can find in Dubai (although we’ll admit, they’re all pretty epic).
Here are 17 of the best beach bars in Dubai for sundowners…
1. Aprons & Hammers Beach House
West Beach on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah is already home to Koko Bay, Señor Pico and FIVE Palm Jumeirah, but now there’s a brand new sundowner spot there that really deserves its credit. Aprons & Hammers Beach House is now open, serving crisp cocktails, fresh seafood and more. Bag a seat out on the terrace or on the beach and toast to the weekend with picture-perfect views of the sunset and the iconic Dubai Marina Skyline.
