Barasti Beach Club has quietly rolled back its usual entry charge through to October. That’s opened the doors to spontaneous afternoons by the pool or beachfront, with no bookings or spend minimums.
By waiving entry fees, the iconic Dubai Marina venue has made itself accessible once again to everyone — from casual loungers to weekend regulars — without the pressure of spending more than necessary.
Pool Days Without the Price Tag
Barasti’s decision to scrap entry fees is a bold step in a market where most premium beach clubs in Dubai still expect a cover charge. It’s also a gesture that’s likely to resonate with locals who’ve frequented the club for years.
Earlier in 2025, Barasti introduced weekday and weekend charges of AED150 and AED200 respectively — redeemable on food and drinks. While that suited some visitors, many long-time regulars felt the change. This summer’s shift back to free access feels like a return to the laid-back energy Barasti has always been known for.
Whether you’re heading down for a solo swim or meeting friends after work, it’s now easier than ever to just walk in, unwind, and enjoy.
What to Expect at the Upgraded Venue
Barasti has made good use of its latest revamp. The refreshed pool deck now features:
- A better shaded layout for hot summer days
- 16 premium cabanas offering privacy and upgraded comfort
- Nine large hammocks perfect for poolside lounging
- More open lounging zones for groups and solo visitors
Standard loungers are available for free if you arrive early, while premium loungers and cabanas can be booked starting at AED150.
The beachfront, meanwhile, has been enhanced with more casual seating, new dining zones, and improved service for poolside bites and beverages.
Barasti After Dark: Swim, Sip, and Socialise
Barasti’s After Dark Night Swim is one of the summer’s standout experiences. It runs every Thursday and Friday evening, drawing in a steady post-sunset crowd.
- Entry for ladies is complimentary and includes one free drink
- Gents pay AED150, which comes with two house beverages
- Pool access is open well into the night
- DJs keep the vibe energetic without it feeling like a full-blown club night
This mix of relaxed swimming and social energy makes the night swim ideal for those avoiding daytime heat but still craving a lively evening.
Saturday Evenings: Tease Me Brunch Returns
Every Saturday, the club hosts its popular Tease Me Brunch from 5pm to 8pm.
Priced at AED229, it includes unlimited beverages and one food dish. It’s more relaxed than traditional Dubai brunches — and ideal for sundown catch-ups, especially with the beachside setting and skyline views.
It’s a smart pick for those who prefer cooler evenings, live music, and a social scene without the pressure of dressing up or committing to an all-afternoon event.
Locals Are Making the Most of It
Barasti’s offer has landed at just the right time. With high temperatures in full swing and many daycation options in Dubai coming with high entry fees or minimum spends, this deal stands out for its simplicity.
The club’s location in Dubai Marina makes it particularly convenient for nearby residents and office-goers. For Media City professionals, Marina tenants, or those passing through the area, Barasti becomes a low-commitment, high-reward hangout.
There’s no need to plan ahead — just show up with a towel, find a lounger, and enjoy. That sense of spontaneity is rare these days, especially at such a well-known venue.
Barasti’s summer comeback isn’t just about removing fees. It’s about bringing back that familiar Dubai vibe — relaxed, inclusive, and sun-soaked.
