Infinity Pool
In Dubai, almost every infinity pool on this page sits on a tower roof or a raised deck, not at the edge of the sea. The page lists 12 Dubai stays with an infinity pool, averaging 8.8 out of 10 across 39,749 guest reviews. Andaz Dubai The Palm is the only hotel among them with its main pool beside a private beach; the other stay on the Palm is a private rental studio. The rest look over Sheikh Zayed Road, Business Bay, the Marina or the Creek, so choose the view first. Of the hotels on this page, Paramount Hotel Midtown in Business Bay has the highest pool: it wraps around the roof on the 64th floor, and it is the one I would book for a skyline swim. The Tower Plaza Hotel, opposite Emirates Towers on Sheikh Zayed Road, has its pool and bar on the roof, a short walk from Emirates Towers metro station. Millennium Atria, also in Business Bay, has a rooftop pool over the Dubai Water Canal and rates 9.2 from 4,518 reviews. DAMAC Maison Cour Jardin is a Business Bay apartment hotel rated 9.1; listings describe an outdoor pool and a children's pool, and I could not confirm an infinity edge there. At the Marina, JW Marriott Hotel Marina has the best rating on the page, 9.5 from 2,618 reviews, and a 45-metre infinity pool four floors up. Know what you are booking: the pool is run by the Wane by SoMiya day club, open to outside guests, with music from late morning into the night. I would not choose it with young children or for quiet. Jumeirah Living Marina Gate, in the Marina Gate towers, has a 23-metre temperature-controlled infinity pool facing the water, with the tram and water taxis within walking distance. In Jumeirah Lakes Towers, not the Marina, voco Bonnington Dubai has its infinity pool on the 11th-floor leisure deck, with a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. Grand Cosmopolitan Hotel in Al Barsha, about 100 metres from InsuranceMarket metro station (formerly Mashreq), keeps its rooftop infinity pool for adults and gives children a pool of their own: my pick for a family. Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates is built into the mall: outdoor infinity pools with five pool chalets beside them, and the Ski Dubai slope inside the same building. On the Creek, Canopy by Hilton Dubai Al Seef has an outdoor infinity pool with the SOL Sky Bar next to it, on the south bank at the old-town end of Bur Dubai. On the Palm, Andaz Dubai The Palm pairs a large lagoon pool beside its beach with a separate adults-only pool on an upper floor. From June to September, the water is rarely the problem: many Dubai pools are temperature-controlled all year, but the deck heats up fast, so by midday a shaded lounger matters more than the view. Several famous infinity pools are not on this page. Cloud 22, the adults-only sky pool of Atlantis The Royal, has sold day passes to non-guests aged 21 and over since December 2023. Address Beach Resort at JBR has a 77th-floor infinity pool reserved for its own guests, and Jumeirah Zabeel Saray on the Palm has a 59-metre infinity pool above its private beach. Luxury Studio Palm Jumeirah Infinity Pool and Beach is a private rental studio with a single review, so I cannot vouch for it, and the Palm has no metro: plan on taxis or the monorail. For couples who want a skyline swim after dark, I would pick the Business Bay and Sheikh Zayed Road roofs. With children, Grand Cosmopolitan. For a beach holiday with an infinity edge, Andaz is the only hotel here that does both; otherwise look at the Palm resorts named above.
