Whether you’re ready for a splash-filled day with the family or a chilled-out afternoon by the pool, the UAE is packed with amazing places to swim and unwind.
Here are some of our favorite beaches, pools and waterparks across Dubai and Abu Dhabi that are perfect for cooling off on a hot day.
If you’re travelling with kids, Legoland Water Park is the ultimate destination. This park has been designed with little ones in mind and is full of interactive fun. Float along the lazy river on a custom-built Lego raft, or challenge each other to build the best boat and sail it through splash zones and wave pools.
It’s an adventure that combines creativity with cool-down time and there’s plenty to keep the whole family entertained.
Ready for a thrill? Head to Yas Waterworld in Abu Dhabi. With over 40 jaw-dropping rides and slides, it’s a playground for water lovers of all ages. Brave the big slides, drift down the lazy river or check out the surf simulator for some wave-riding fun.
For a unique experience, try the pearl diving activity and take home a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
For extra privacy, ladies can enjoy the park on designated Ladies Days each month.
If you’re looking to stay close to home, Premier Inn’s hotel pools are the perfect spot to relax without leaving your hotel. Cool off with a refreshing dip, soak up the sun on a poolside lounger, or grab a snack from the poolside menu. Our pizzas are known as a crowd-pleaser!
If you’re staying at one of our airport hotels in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, you can enjoy a swim with views of the runway from our rooftop pools too.
Located just a short drive from Premier Inn Abu Dhabi Capital Centre, Al Bateen Beach is a gem for beach lovers. This Blue Flag beach is calm, scenic and ideal for watersports, beachfront picnics, or simply unwinding by the water. With views of Hudariyat Island, nearby parking and a handful of cozy cafes, it’s a spot that makes relaxing by the beach easy and enjoyable.
Whether you’re lounging by the pool or hitting the beach, a few quick tips can help you stay safe and comfortable:
● Sunscreen and Shade: Don’t forget to top up your sunscreen regularly and wear a sunhat and sunglasses to protect yourself from UV rays
● Stay Hydrated: Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water throughout the day
● Dress Respectfully: Swimwear is welcome on the beach and by the pool, but be sure to cover up when you’re leaving these areas
