Travel Itinerary

Wide open beach with crystal-clear, shallow water—perfect for a leisurely swim or trying stand-up paddle-boarding in calm morning conditions.

Walk south along the soft sand toward the Burj Al Arab for iconic photo stops; the packed sand makes for an easy barefoot coastal hike.

Finish the shoreline walk with a refreshing dip and unbeatable views of the sail-shaped hotel towering above the turquoise sea.

Take a short taxi hop to the island’s west beach—quieter than the mainland, with soft white sand and calm water ideal for floating the afternoon away.

Join a gentle beach-yoga session as the sun dips behind the Ain Dubai wheel—stretch, breathe and unwind to the sound of lapping waves.

Spread your towel on La Mer’s powdery sand, swim in the calm lagoon and cool off with iced lattes from beachfront cafés under shaded palms.

Wander the wooden boardwalk stretching along the shore—street art, sea views and gentle sea breezes create a laid-back late-afternoon vibe.

Catch the hotel shuttle to the Palm’s west crescent—sun-loungers on soft sand, clear warm water and skyline views of Dubai Marina in the distance.

Stroll the 1.5-km palm-lined promenade at dusk—open-air cafés, twinkly lights and gentle waves lapping the shore.

Start your last full day with a quiet sunrise swim—this small beach faces west, so the early light is soft and the Burj Al Arab silhouette glows pink.

Pack a picnic and head to this quiet stretch between the Palm and Burj Al Arab—walk the low-tide sandbar and watch local fishermen cast their nets.

Board a traditional wooden dhow for a slow cruise along the coast—sip cool drinks, feel the sea breeze and watch the skyline glow at sunset.

Soak up the last rays on this buzzing urban beach, then wander the open-air mall for souvenirs and a final gelato before heading home.
