If you’re avoiding Dubai’s daytime heat this summer, La Cantine Beach may have just found the perfect solution.
The popular Bluewaters Island destination has officially brought back its seasonal Dubai Night Swim experience, turning Friday nights into an adults-only poolside escape complete with sunset views, music, dining, and late-night swims beneath the city skyline.
Known as Après-Soleil Night Swim, the weekly event takes place every Friday from 7 PM onwards at La Cantine Beach inside Delano Dubai. Instead of spending hours under the scorching afternoon sun, guests can cool off in a temperature-controlled pool while taking in views of Ain Dubai after dark.

La Cantine Beach Is Bringing Summer Nights Back
Dubai’s beach clubs have spent years competing to create the ultimate summer experience, but La Cantine Beach is leaning into a trend that continues to grow across the city: nighttime swimming.
The concept is simple. Arrive after sunset, grab a sunbed or cabana, order dinner and drinks, and spend the evening poolside when temperatures are significantly more comfortable.
The venue combines Mediterranean-inspired dining with a beachfront atmosphere, creating a setting that feels more like a coastal getaway than a typical city night out.
With Ain Dubai illuminated in the background and the Arabian Gulf just steps away, the experience is designed for guests looking to swap crowded indoor venues for an open-air summer escape.

How Much Does The Dubai Night Swim Cost?
The Dubai Night Swim experience at La Cantine Beach starts at AED 150 per person for a sunbed.
For larger groups, cabanas are available for AED 1,000 and can accommodate up to eight guests.
One of the biggest draws is that both options are fully redeemable on food and beverages, meaning guests can use the entire amount toward dining and drinks throughout the evening.
That makes the event feel less like an entry fee and more like a dining credit with access to one of Dubai’s most sought-after beachfront venues.
Adults Only And Designed For Late-Night Summer Escapes
Unlike many family-friendly pool destinations around the city, Après-Soleil Night Swim is strictly reserved for adults aged 21 and above.
The adults-only policy allows the venue to create a more relaxed evening atmosphere focused on dining, socializing, and poolside entertainment.
As temperatures continue to rise across the UAE, experiences like this are becoming increasingly popular among residents looking for ways to enjoy outdoor venues without dealing with peak daytime heat.
For many Dubai residents, summer no longer means avoiding the outdoors completely. Instead, it means waiting until sunset.
And with temperature-controlled water, beachfront views, and one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks lighting up the skyline, La Cantine Beach may have just created one of the most attractive Friday night plans of the season.
