White Beach Dubai charges AED 200 for a weekday sunbed and AED 250 on weekends, with the beach and pool open 10am to 8pm daily. It sits inside Atlantis The Palm on Palm Jumeirah, runs a strict 21+ policy on the sand, and takes bookings for sunbeds until midday. Here is what a day actually costs, the rules that catch visitors out, and how to get there.
White Beach Dubai is a beach club and Mediterranean restaurant at Atlantis The Palm that locals treat as the grown-up alternative to the hotel’s family pools. This guide covers White Beach Dubai entry prices with the real maths on what is redeemable, the age and dress rules, how reservations work, and the simplest way to arrive. If you are planning a wider trip, start with our Dubai travel guide before locking in a beach day.

A standard sunbed at White Beach Dubai costs AED 200 per guest Monday to Thursday and AED 250 Friday to Sunday and on public holidays. That fee is not redeemable against food and drinks, which surprises visitors who read older guides claiming the entry converts to credit. It does not. Your AED 200 or 250 buys the bed, the towel, and pool and beach access for the day.
The premium tiers work differently. Front-row sunbeds start at AED 1,000 on weekdays and AED 1,500 on weekends. Beach cabanas for up to five guests run AED 1,500 on weekdays (AED 750 of it redeemable on food and drinks) and AED 2,000 on weekends (AED 1,000 redeemable). Larger cabanas for six to eight guests cost AED 2,400 on weekdays and AED 3,200 on weekends, and extra guests are AED 350 each, fully redeemable. If you are comparing options, our things to do in Palm Jumeirah guide puts White Beach Dubai alongside the island’s other paid beach days.
The honest maths: a couple visiting on a Saturday pays AED 500 for two standard beds with nothing back on food. A weekday cabana for five at AED 1,500 returns AED 750 in credit, so the real cost of the space is AED 750 if you were going to eat there anyway. Groups of four or more almost always do better with a cabana than with separate beds.
White Beach Dubai enforces a 21+ policy on the beach and pool, no exceptions. The restaurant admits guests 21 and over until 8pm, then welcomes guests 13 and up for dinner service. Security checks valid original ID at the entrance, so bring your Emirates ID or passport. Photocopies and phone photos do not count.
The dress code is beach casual. Swimwear and beach attire are encouraged on the sand, but UAE national dress (kandoras and abayas) is not permitted on the beach itself. Cover up when you leave the beach deck for the restaurant or the walk back through the hotel.
Two rules catch first-timers out. Sunbeds are assigned first-come, first-served, so arriving at 10am matters more than booking early. And reservations for sunbeds close at 12pm for morning half-day packages and 3pm for afternoon ones; after that it is walk-ins only, subject to availability.
The simplest route is the Palm Monorail to Atlantis station, then a short taxi ride or a 10-minute walk to the beach club entrance on Crescent Road. By car, follow signs for Atlantis The Palm and park at the hotel; the club validates nothing, so factor parking into your day.
From Dubai Marina or JBR, a taxi takes about 15 minutes outside rush hour and costs roughly AED 35 to 50. From Downtown Dubai, allow 25 to 30 minutes and about AED 70 to 90. There is no direct metro: the Red Line gets you to DAMAC Properties or Dubai Internet City stations, from where you still need a taxi onto the Palm. If you are staying on the Palm itself, our where to stay in Dubai guide covers which hotels include their own beach access, which changes the White Beach Dubai value calculation.
Tuesdays belong to the “Daydreamers Ladies Day”, the club’s weekly women-only afternoon. The long-running Sunday “Sunkissed” brunch runs 12pm to 3pm at AED 350 with soft drinks or AED 500 with house beverages, and includes the 21+ sun loungers. Friday evenings lean into DJ sets and sunset sessions, which is when the venue shifts from beach club to nightlife.
Events change with the season, so check the venue’s own listings before planning around a specific night. The restaurant serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes throughout the day; signatures include seabass ceviche, sauteed gambas and tuna sashimi pizza.
It depends on what you want from a beach day. If you want music, a scene and a proper lunch without leaving your lounger, White Beach Dubai earns its price tag, especially on a weekday when AED 200 gets you into one of the Palm’s best-kept pools. If you just want sand and sea, Dubai’s free public beaches cost nothing and the AED 200 stays in your pocket.
The value case is strongest for groups splitting a cabana on a weekday, and weakest for a solo visitor on a Saturday paying AED 250 for a standard bed. Book the restaurant separately if you only want dinner; the 13+ after-8pm rule makes it one of the few upscale Palm venues that works for families in the evening.
| What you will read | What is accurate |
|---|---|
| “Day passes are fully redeemable on food and drinks” | Stale. Standard sunbeds at AED 200/250 are non-redeemable under the current pricing. Only cabana packages include partial F&B credit. |
| “Entry from AED 150” | Old figure. The current floor is AED 200 on weekdays, AED 250 on weekends and public holidays. |
| “Open 10am to 6pm” | Wrong. The beach and pool run 10am to 8pm daily; the restaurant runs 12pm to 11pm. |
| “Children welcome before 8pm” | Misleading. The beach and pool are 21+ at all hours. Only the restaurant admits 13+ after 8pm. |
| “White Beach is in Umm Al Quwain” | Different venue or confusion. This guide covers the WHITE Beach & Restaurant at Atlantis The Palm, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. |
A standard sunbed costs AED 200 per guest Monday to Thursday and AED 250 Friday to Sunday and on public holidays, and the fee is not redeemable on food and drinks. Front-row beds start at AED 1,000 on weekdays. Cabanas for up to five guests cost AED 1,500 on weekdays with AED 750 redeemable, or AED 2,000 on weekends with AED 1,000 redeemable.
Yes, for the beach and pool, which admit guests 21 and over only, with valid original ID checked at security. The restaurant is 21+ until 8pm, then welcomes guests aged 13 and above for dinner. Children are not admitted to the beach or pool at any time.
The beach and pool open daily from 10am to 8pm. The White Restaurant serves from 12pm to 11pm daily. Ladies day runs on Tuesdays, and the Sunkissed brunch runs Sundays 12pm to 3pm.
Reservations are recommended, especially for weekends. Sunbeds are assigned first-come, first-served, and bookings close at 12pm for morning packages and 3pm for afternoon packages. After that, entry is walk-in only and subject to availability.
No, not for standard sunbeds. The AED 200 weekday and AED 250 weekend sunbed fees buy the bed, towel and access only. Partial redeemable credit applies only to cabana packages, starting at AED 750 credit on the weekday five-guest cabana.
White Beach Dubai sits inside Atlantis The Palm on Crescent Road, Palm Jumeirah. Take the Palm Monorail to Atlantis station, then a short taxi ride or 10-minute walk. The club’s contact number is +971 4 426 0700.
Yes. The “Daydreamers Ladies Day” runs every Tuesday. Timings and packages change by season, so confirm the current week’s details with the venue before going.
