The J1 Dubai beach clubs that are redeemable

Some great value here…

If you haven’t visited the new-ish J1 Beach that’s full of stunning restaurants and beach clubs then now is your time before the weather heats up too much in Dubai. These J1 beach clubs are redeemable too so you can get some food and drink for your sun lounger fee.

Bâoli

From Cannes to J1 Beach comes Baoli, a super-sized new serving of drinking, dancing and daycationing in luxe style. Set over 2,000 square metres, Baoli comes complete with a pool and beach, a pretty petal-shaped sun deck, a relaxed sunset lounge, a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, and a speakeasy bar called the Moon Room. By day, expect a more chilled ambience for tan topping and luxurious relaxation, whether you’re reclining on one of the plush loungers or taking a dip in the pool. As the sun sets, the tempo goes up, as Bâoli welcomes guests for sundowners at the Sunset Lounge, dining in the restaurant, and imbibing until the early hours at the speakeasy bar. For the pool and beach, you’ll pay Dhs500 with Dhs400 redeemable Monday to Thursday, and it’s Dhs600 with Dhs500 redeemable from Friday to Sunday.
