Keep it chill at the best adults only beach clubs in Dubai

No doubt kids are cute – who doesn’t love a good giggle or two? But every now and then, a day by the water calls for something quieter, a little less running around, and a little more peace (nothing wrong with that). Whether you don’t have kids, have them but need a break, or simply want to enjoy some quiet time in the sun without splash wars, Dubai has a few adults-only chill spots where the vibe is strictly 21 and over.

Here are some of the best adults-only beach clubs in Dubai when you’re in the mood for quiet.

Order fresh coconut and light bites, bring a book or headphones, or just let the sun do its thing. This is ‘me-time’ at its best.
