Dubai’s skyline is one of the world’s great views — and a handful of hotels have positioned their pools to make the most of it. These are the rooftop pools worth booking a room specifically for.
1. Address Beach Resort (294m)
Officially the world’s highest infinity pool. Views across the entire Dubai Marina coastline. Unmissable. Accessible to hotel guests and day visitors from AED 250.
2. Atlantis The Royal – Sky Pool Suites
Multiple sky pools suspended at different heights, some cantilevered over the edge of the building. The most dramatic pool views in Dubai and possibly the world.
3. Address Sky View – Sky Pool Bridge
A pool connecting two towers at 220 metres with direct Burj Khalifa views. Perfect timing means you see the Dubai Fountain show from the water. Extraordinary.
4. FIVE Palm Jumeirah – Beach Club Rooftop
The party pool of Dubai. DJ sets, bottle service, and Palm Jumeirah views. This is where Dubai’s social scene congregates on weekends.
5. Burj Al Arab – Skyview Bar Pool
At 200 metres with 360° Gulf and city views. Technically a bar with a small pool, but the experience is unlike any other in the city.
6. Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk – Rooftop Pool
Best value on this list — stay at Sofitel from AED 500/night and access a rooftop pool with Burj Khalifa views. Extraordinary price-to-experience ratio.
