A Slice of Pampelonne with the Burj as Your Backdrop
Verde Beach is the Dubai outpost of the cult Saint-Tropez beach restaurant on Plage de Pampelonne — the same stretch of sand that gave the world Tahiti, Club 55, and the entire bohemian-luxe beach club idiom. The Dubai version, set on the private beach of Jumeirah Beach Hotel with the Burj Al Arab rising directly to the south, may be the most flatteringly framed beach club site in the city. The original opened on Pampelonne; the Dubai version opened in late 2022 and has since become one of the most reliably busy luxury daybed venues in the emirate.
The aesthetic is unapologetic St-Tropez. Driftwood cabanas, knitted hand-woven parasols, mismatched rugs and rattan, macramé hangings, foliage, straw lanterns — it reads as if a Provençal trousseau were unpacked onto Jumeirah sand. The beach is laid out in long rows of double daybeds with low driftwood tables; the front row, closest to the water, fetches a premium and is in heavy demand on weekends. An interior bar-restaurant runs the length of the venue and stays open into the evening, when the lighting drops and the venue transitions from beach club into a Mediterranean dinner scene with a DJ.
The kitchen is led by chef Julien Lee Thibault, who runs the same culinary direction across the Verde Beach group. The food is unmistakably French Riviera Mediterranean: salade niçoise, vitello tonnato, sea bass crudo, lobster pasta, plenty of vegetables, plenty of rosé. Portions are generous, plating is photogenic without being precious, and prices reflect the address — but because daybed rates are 100% redeemable, most groups end up using the spend on lunch and a long afternoon of cocktails rather than paying a separate cover.

Verde is best understood as a different proposition from Dubai's other Burj-view beach clubs. It is not a party venue — there is music and atmosphere builds across the day, but no stage, no foam cannons, no bottle-train choreography. It is also not a hotel pool — it is a standalone beach concept on hotel sand. What it does best is a long, photogenic Mediterranean lunch into a sunset cocktail, with the Burj Al Arab in every photograph from your daybed.

Amenities at Verde Beach
Verde Beach is a beach-only concept — there is no pool. Hotel guests of Jumeirah Beach Hotel can use the resort pools separately. Children are welcomed at lunch but the venue is primarily oriented to adults from late afternoon onwards.

French Riviera
Mediterranean by Julien Lee Thibault
Chef Julien Lee Thibault directs the kitchen across the Verde Beach group. The Dubai menu is authentically French Riviera–Mediterranean: vegetable-led starters that don't apologise for being a salade niçoise; sea bass crudo with citrus; vitello tonnato with proper tuna mayonnaise; and a full pasta section anchored by a generous lobster spaghetti that has become the venue's most-photographed plate.
The drinks list leans hard into Provençal rosé and grand-marque champagne — exactly what you would expect from a St-Tropez transplant. The cocktail programme adds a Dubai polish: Aperol-led aperitivos, frozen Negronis, and proper margaritas. Service is friendly, multilingual, and used to working a long lunch into a long evening.
Menu Highlights
What to Know Before You Go
Dress Code
Resort chic. Bohemian beachwear is on-brand — kaftans, linen, panama hats, woven everything. Cover-ups required when leaving the daybed area. No men's swimwear in the restaurant after dark.
Booking
Front-row daybeds and cabanas are the bottleneck — book 7+ days ahead for weekends, 14+ days ahead for January–March peak season. Walk-ins are accepted Mon–Thu before noon when the venue isn't sold out.
Getting There
Jumeirah Beach Hotel is on Jumeirah Beach Road, immediately north of the Burj Al Arab. Valet parking complimentary. Approximately 10 minutes from Mall of the Emirates, 20 minutes from Downtown. Uber/Careem drop you at the hotel reception.
Children
Children are welcomed at lunch and on family-leaning Saturdays. The venue is not aggressively family-oriented — there is no kids' club or shallow pool — but children are not excluded. After 18:00 the atmosphere becomes adult-leaning.
Budget Planning
Budget AED 700–1,200 per person for a full day with rosé, lunch, and afternoon cocktails on a daybed. Cabanas and a full bottle service push couples to AED 2,000–3,000+. Service charge and municipality fees are added on top.
When to Visit
Late afternoon (15:00–sunset) is the best window — the heat is past, the crowd builds, the DJ starts, and the Burj Al Arab lights up. November–April is prime weather. Avoid July–August unless you're staying poolside under shade.
What Guests Say
"It really does feel like Pampelonne — same parasols, same rosé service, same Mediterranean food. But the photos work harder here because the Burj Al Arab is in every frame. We took a front-row daybed for our anniversary and stayed from lunch through the DJ set."
"The lobster spaghetti is genuinely worth the trip. Daybeds are spaced far enough apart that you don't feel packed in, and the team brought our drinks across the sand without being asked. The minimum spend is high but you'll use it on lunch and rosé without trying."
"Beautiful venue, beautiful food, beautiful crowd. The only reason it's not five stars is that the music can get loud earlier than you might want at lunch — if you want a quiet conversation, take an early daybed at 11. By 4pm it's a different venue."
