Those Mediterranean summer beach vibes are available all year round at Dubai’s extensive list of beach clubs, where glitz and glamour meet chilled-out European style. Here are six of the best…

Nammos

Launched in 2003 in trendy Mykonos, Nammos is a brand synonymous with a luxurious lifestyle – where the great and the good go to hang out. The Dubai version, with an extra touch of glamour and all year-round summer vibes, is well-known for its long, lazy lunches by day and raucous parties by night. Not to mention the stunning setting, next to the Four Seasons where all the cool kids and celebrities want to be seen. @nammos.dubai

DRIFT Beach

If it’s understated chic you’re looking for, DRIFT Beach has it in abundance. Sunlounger views don’t get much better than the panorama of the Palm’s iconic skyline. The food and beverage offering is as special as the view with classic Provençal cuisine being served up alongside crisp, cold rose and cocktails. @driftbeachdubai

Twiggy by La Cantine

The supermodel of beach clubs, Twiggy is a true oasis. Reminiscent of the Riviera, its south of France spirit brings ultra-chic vibes with an idyllic lagoon setting on the edge of Dubai Creek, a 100-metre infinity pool of crystal-clear water and a menu serving up the freshest ingredients including a sublime sushi offering. This is the best of everything, all in one place. @twiggydubai

White Beach

Atlantis The Palm’s exclusive beach club has all the hallmarks of the perfect Dubai hotspot. Instagram-worthy infinity pool? Check. Outdoor restaurant serving up Mediterranean classics? Check. An amazing sundowner spot? Check. Throw in an impressive back catalogue of visiting DJs and an unmatched view of one of the world’s most iconic hotels and this is well worth a visit. @whitebeach

Nikki Beach

When it comes to beach clubs, it doesn’t get much more iconic than the all-white, champagne-spraying, celeb spotting backdrop of the Nikki Beach franchise. Plush sunbeds and cabanas, exceptional food, drink and entertainment and panoramic views of Downtown Dubai make it easy to see why Nikki Beach is the original and arguably best beach club in the world. @nikkibeachdubai

Summersalt Beach Club

A little more under-the-radar than the rest but still just as worthy, Summersalt at Jumeirah Al Naseem is a hidden gem nestled under the nose of Burj Al Arab. Other than an incredible setting, the carefully thought-out a la carte menu makes for the perfect brunch meet up with friends while the expert mixologists keep the cold ones flowing against chilled out beats. @summersaltbeachclub
