Dubai Nightlife: The Best Bars and Clubs in the U.A.E.

If you have booked a break staying at quality holiday apartments in Dubai with friends, then spend your days lying on the beach relaxing and recuperating, because at night the city comes alive! Here’s our pick of the best bars and nightclubs in Dubai.

360°

360° is one of the most spectacular locations in Dubai.  This venue is on its very own circular island a kilometre out to sea. Make sure to pay it a visit in early evening in order to witness the beautiful panoramic views across Dubai’s skyline as the sun sets for the day. It’s truly breath-taking and a great way of seeing the city.

People

Crystal’s super club People is known among locals as one of, if not the best, clubs in Dubai. It is located on the upper two floors of Raffles Dubai, the iconic pyramid shaped hotel, allowing endless views across the city. There is a cosy yet sophisticated décor, with dimmed lighting and rich colours, plus plenty of seating to sit back and enjoy a drink.

Thanks to its great reputation, People is home to the biggest gigs and performances by huge superstars on a regular basis and is seen as the pinnacle of the Dubai social scene.

Mahiki

Mahiki in London is a popular celeb hotspot and its Dubai equivalent is no less plush. A new bar and club, with its Tiki Polynesian theme, means you can rely on it being busy every week. If you like a cocktail or two then this is the place-to-be. And if you’re hungry take a bite from one of their grilled dishes – they’re so good! Aloha!

XL Beach Club 

This is the location for some of the best pool parties in the U.A.E. and is lively all around the clock. Dubai’s ultimate luxury venue is known for its events which often spill out onto the nearby beach. There are specials for ladies all year round with 50% off most drinks. So when the heat gets too much, take a dip and enjoy a cocktail!

Jetty Lounge

Another great outdoor bar and brilliant for al fresco dining, the Jetty Lounge has chic Arabian architecture moulded with a contemporary and elegant atmosphere. This is THE bar for relaxing and chilling out near the beach.

Bliss Lounge 

Located at the end of The Walk in the Sheraton Jumeirah Beach Resort, this tasteful bar has hot club nights and the coolest clientele. Whether you sit in one of their circular booths or dance the night away, you’re sure to enjoy a night at the Bliss Lounge.

Calabar

If you want an awe-inspiring view of the Burj Khalifa then pay a visit to Calabar and prepare to be amazed. You can even see The Dubai Fountains from the terrace!

A Latin inspired lounge bar, Calabar is a favourite among Dubai’s fashionable elite. The energy is electric here, and make sure to ask to try some of their South American specialities. You won’t be disappointed!

Pure Sky Lounge

This outdoor bar reminds us of a spa with its cool colours and tranquil atmosphere. It is located on the 35th floor of the Hilton’s residential JBR tower overlooking the Palm Jumeirah. There is indoor and outside seating and it has a delicious sounding menu.

So will you and your friends be paying any of these clubs and bars a visit on your holiday? We’d love to hear what you thought of them.
