Fancy a Dip? The Best Swimming Pools in Dubai

When you visit a hot country like the United Arab Emirates it is important to know the best places to cool down. Here are a pick of our favourite swimming pools in Dubai:

Aquaventure Waterpark at the Atlantis, Palm Jumeirah 

Aquaventure Waterpark is the no. 1 water park in the Middle East and Europe. Stretched over 17 hectares of land, there is plenty to keep visitors of all ages busy. There are many slides to keep adrenaline junkies happy, a lazy river for a gentler trip, or simply just lay down a towel and relax on the Aquaventure beach.

For a unique experience take a ride through shark infested lagoons, have a go on the world’s largest slide and race down a dual slide within a slide – the first in the world!

The Address Dubai Marina

Enjoy a leisurely swim in this oval shaped pool whilst surrounded by concrete giants. Located on the 4th floor of the hotel, this infinity pool has amazing views of Dubai’s skyline, and with plenty of comfy sun loungers and complimentary towels it is the perfect place to spend a relaxing afternoon.

Jumeirah Zabeel Saray 

This private swimming pool for guests staying in the hotel is the largest at this resort and overlooks the Arabian Gulf. It is a 59m infinity style pool with in-pool trees that create shade from the summer heat. If you are staying in the resort’s Royal Residences, you will even have your very own private lagoon pool for when you want some privacy.

Jumeirah Creekside 

This hotel pool is great, whether you are looking to swim laps or just splash about a bit. Made in a large D-shape, there are glass extensions which cut into the hotel’s atrium, like floating goldfish bowls. Swim into these areas for a bird’s eye view of the hotel – that is, if you’re not afraid of heights! There is also a great play pool for the kids here.

Kempinski Hotel & Residences, Palm Jumeirah

This lush pool area is located a mere stone’s throw away from the white sandy beach and crystal clear water of the ocean. The highlight of a luxury 5 star hotel, this swimming pool is 1200m long and has its very own kid’s area too.

The pool area is surrounded by trees and lush green lawns making it a pleasant escape from the city. And when you’re not swimming take a nap in one of the cabanas, enjoy a spa treatment or even teach your little ones how to swim with help from one of the instructors here.

Meydan Beach Club 

The Meydan Beach Club is situated on the beachfront near the Jumeirah Beach Residences and is the epitome of style. The club has two infinity pools to choose between and is known for its Ibiza-like atmosphere, with a pool bar and chill out lounge. This is the perfect location to take a lazy day into a party night.

If you are looking for a holiday rental in Dubai, then why not pay one of these pools a visit? After all, they are the best!
