Dubai’s night swims for moonlit magic & poolside parties.
When the desert heat lingers long after sunset, Dubai’s coolest remedy is simple: take the plunge—after dark. From sultry infinity pools with skyline views to beachside parties that keep the cocktails flowing and the DJ spinning, night swims are having a serious moment this summer.
Whether you’re in the mood for a laid-back float beneath the stars or a full-blown moonlight bash with beats and bites, these three after-hours pool experiences serve up the perfect mix of vibes and vitamin sea.
Swimsuits on, inhibitions off – here’s where to dive in when the city lights up.
Moonlit Dips & Greek Kisses as Kyma’s Aegean Nights returns with a Splash
If your summer mantra is “less sweat, more splash,” then allow us to introduce your new weekend ritual. Kyma Beach — that Grecian goddess of a restaurant-meets-beach club on Palm West Beach — has just relaunched its sultry summer soirée series: Aegean Nights. Kicking off Friday, June 6th, this much-loved night swim affair returns with all the sparkle, sizzle, and Santorini-style swagger we didn’t know we needed until now.
As the sun dips behind the Dubai Marina skyline, Kyma comes alive with after-dark allure. Every Friday and Saturday from 7pm, it transforms into a moon-drenched Mediterranean playground, where barefoot glamour is the dress code and the vibe is as smooth as the ouzo is strong.
Foodies, fear not — Kyma’s kitchen brings its Aegean A-game after dark, serving up elegant Greek-Med bites designed for sharing (or not, we don’t judge). The best part? Packages start at AED 200 per person, fully redeemable on food and drinks. That’s right — your feta fries and frosé are on the house… kind of.
So, grab your most photogenic swimsuit, summon your sun-kissed crew, and get ready to make Friday and Saturday nights your personal Greek getaway — minus the passport.
Aegean Nights – Night Swim at Kyma Beach, Palm West Beach (opposite Fairmont The Palm). Sunbeds from AED 200 and cabana packages up to AED 1,200. Every Friday & Saturday, from June 6th, from 7pm until late. Call +971 4 666 5999 or email book@kymabeach.ae.

Oh, and ladies — your entry is free (plus a house drink on the house). Gents, you’re in for AED 150 with two drinks included. Bargain for the bangers you’re getting.
