Sponsored: RIVA is the ultimate family-friendly beach destination…

Enjoy a daycation in the Dubai sun at a beach club tucked away on Palm Jumeirah. RIVA Beach Club can be found on the Shoreline, and offers a haven away from the stresses of every day life, where you can relax with your family and soak up the sun.

There’s so many fun activities to get involved with, from stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking and kids activities, to table tennis, foosball and more. Or, you can just unwind and chill next to the 300-metre pristine beach, or temperature-controlled pool.

When it comes to dining at a beach club, the menu shouldn’t be an after-thought. That’s why RIVA’s extensive selection is ideal, and can be enjoyed indoors or out on the alfresco terrace. Dishes include Marbella gambas pil-pil, peri-peri chicken, sea bass and tenderloin as well as pizzas, pastas, burgers, salads and desserts.

Make the most of RIVA’s great weekly deals, such as Blissful Beauties Ladies Day every Wednesday, where the girls get beach and pool access plus one starter for just Dhs55. Wednesday nights are for couples, with a two-course menu, pool access and a bottle of wine for Dhs349.

Not only is there a happy hour every day between 4pm and 8pm (with drinks from Dhs28) but there’s also a 50 per cent discount on food for Palm Jumeirah residents every Monday, Thursday and Saturday. There’s no need to leave the pooch at home either, as RIVA is dog-friendly on weekdays.

Every Friday and Saturday, don’t miss the Family Weekend Brunch where you can enjoy a variety of kids activities, delicious buffet and free-flowing drinks, along with beach and pool access.

RIVA Beach Club is the ultimate place to bring in the new year, at their NYE Gala Dinner under the stars. Enjoy an extravagant buffet with over 50 dishes, sushi counter, oyster bar and BBQ grill. You’ll get unlimited premium drinks, a live DJ, magician and more, with packages starting from Dhs599.
