ZETA Seventy Seven, Address Beach Resort

If you like your pool days dialled all the way up, this is the one. Perched on level 77 of Address Beach Resort, ZETA Seventy Seven sits beside the world’s highest outdoor infinity pool, with panoramic views that sweep from Bluewaters to Palm Jumeirah and the Marina skyline. It feels more sky-deck sanctuary than standard pool, with an upscale crowd, polished service, and that “this could only be Dubai” energy. Access is via dedicated packages, and reservations are essential, so this is not your casual rock-up-and-dip spot, but for a special-occasion rooftop swim with serious wow factor, it more than delivers.

Times: 9am to 2am

Cost: Minimum spend of Dhs577
