Summersalt: Where the Jumeirah Sands Meet Riviera Chic

Sid Thaker • August 14, 2025

Perched elegantly on the private sands of Jumeirah Al Naseem, Summersalt Beach Club is Dubai’s sun-drenched answer to the Côte d’Azur — with just the right measure of glamour, exclusivity, and a dash of salt air.

From the moment you arrive, slipping past the glistening palms and down toward the crystalline shore, you sense you’re entering a place that understands indulgence. The azure Arabian Gulf stretches before you like a sheet of silk, while the iconic sail of Burj Al Arab rises dramatically in the near distance — a view that feels more like a set piece than reality.


The club’s design is effortlessly chic: think crisp white linens, low-slung cabanas, pale wood decks, and a hint of bohemian charm. The vibe? Mediterranean Riviera by way of Dubai, with beautiful people lazily sipping chilled rosé as the sun begins its golden descent.


Service at Summersalt is impeccably smooth, with staff flitting quietly from table to cabana, delivering icy cocktails, perfectly grilled seafood, and moreish mezze that wouldn’t be out of place in a Michelin-starred kitchen. Lunches here are languid affairs — seared tuna nicoise, lobster rolls, and platters of heirloom tomatoes glistening with olive oil — while evenings glow with lantern light and a soft DJ-led soundtrack.


But Summersalt is more than a lunch and lounger spot — it’s a full-blown mood. It’s the place you come to see and be seen, to toast the sunset, and to let time slip away between dips in the turquoise pool and gentle strolls down the powdery shoreline.


With its perfect marriage of luxury, laid-back charm, and a setting that quite literally stops you in your tracks, Summersalt Beach Club remains one of Dubai’s most alluring seaside addresses — the ultimate rendezvous for those who summer in style.
