Pro Tips
- 1.Book your poolside cabana or daybed in advance, especially during peak winter tourist season (November to March) when the weather is perfect and the pool gets busy.
- 2.Bring reef-safe sunscreen as Dubai sun is intense year-round. Swim diapers are required for children not yet potty-trained.
- 3.Take advantage of the poolside food service to avoid leaving the area. The menu includes kid-friendly options like pasta, burgers, and fresh fruit.
- 4.Visit in the late afternoon (after 4:00 PM) for cooler temperatures and to catch the stunning Burj Khalifa fountain show visible from the pool area in the evening.
- 5.Non-hotel guests can access the pool through a day pass. Call ahead to confirm availability and pricing, as rates vary by season and occupancy.
Best Time to Visit
Visit on weekday mornings (10:00 AM to 12:00 PM) for a quieter experience, or during winter months (November to March) when outdoor temperatures are comfortable (70-85°F) rather than scorching summer heat. Fridays and weekends tend to be busier with local families.
What to Know
Day passes for non-hotel guests typically cost between 200-400 AED per person (approximately $55-110 USD) and often include food and beverage credits. Modest swimwear is required (no bikinis for young girls, rash guards recommended), and the facility has changing rooms and showers on-site.
Seasonal Notes
Open year-round, but the pool is most comfortable November through March when daytime temperatures are mild. Summer months (June to September) can be extremely hot with temperatures exceeding 100°F, making early morning or evening swims essential. The pool may be heated during cooler winter evenings.
Nearby Eats
Dubai Mall is connected to the hotel and offers hundreds of dining options including kid-favorites like The Cheesecake Factory, Shake Shack, and Eataly. For a special treat, visit At.mosphere in the Burj Khalifa for afternoon tea with incredible views (reservations required).
