Pool & Beach: Tried and tested: Beach clubs & resorts

Where the Privilee team can’t get enough of

Business Associate

Aysha

Beachside daycays have become my weekend ritual at this point - an effortless plan that never fails.

We asked Aysha, Privilee Business Associate and the go-to guru in the office for all things beachy and poolside, to share the spots that have made it into her regular rotation. Here are her current obsessions, and why you might want to do the same.

Soluna Restaurants & Beach Club

This quiet spot on The Palm is ideal for when you're in need of a sea breeze and looking to switch off. I go here for a solo recharge days or relaxing catch-ups with a friend.

📍Palm Jumeirah

Ula, Ras Al Khaimah

When it’s time to get out of the city, Ula RAK always delivers. With its relaxed, natural vibe and seriously good food and drinks, it’s an easy choice for a weekend that feels like a proper break.

Tip: Stay for lunch and sundowners - everything is fresh, seasonal, and designed for sharing.

📍Mövenpick Resort, Al Marjan Island

Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort

For weekends spent with my nieces, this one’s hard to beat. Multiple pools, direct beach access, and a peaceful. The Thai-inspired is ideal when you’re looking for somewhere that works for everyone. There’s enough variety to keep kids happy while still giving adults a moment to unwind.
