Dubai’s Best Night Swims: Float After Dark & ZETA Seventy Seven Rooftop Escapes

When Dubai’s summer heat lingers long after sunset, the most stylish way to unwind is to dip into the city’s rising trend of after-dark swims. From lagoon-side lounging at Vida Creek Beach to sky-high indulgence at Address Beach Resort, here’s how two of the city’s most glamorous poolside escapes are redefining the art of cooling down.

As the mercury climbs and the city begins to shimmer under the weight of another Dubai summer, we all start to crave a different kind of escape, one that doesn’t involve traffic or travel, but something closer, cooler and far more indulgent.

Float After Dark at Vida Creek Beach is Dubai’s newest moonlit secret for those who prefer their swims under starlight and their socials with a side of sparkle.

When the weekend whispers escape, this ultra-chic lagoon lounge answers with an after-hours glow-up. Think skyline silhouettes reflected in still water, the faint clink of cocktail glasses, and the soothing hush of water lapping at your ankles.

Every Friday to Sunday, from sunset till 11PM, Float Beach Lounge transforms into a glowing sanctuary where AED 150 gets you full access to the pool and an equally tempting F&B credit. And the menu is sensorial flirtation of wood-fired pizzas, crisp salads and cocktails that brings the chills of summer in a glass.

Because sometimes, the most luxurious remedy to a hot, high-speed week isn’t a lavish trip or a big night out, it could just be  a barefoot evening dip, a perfectly mixed drink and that satisfying feeling of being in the right place, at the right time.

Swimsuits on. Shoes optional. Vibes, absolutely mandatory.
