Riva Beach Club is a family-friendly beach club and restaurant on Palm Jumeirah, with a private stretch of sand, swimming pools and outdoor seating by the pool, sea or garden. The setting looks out over the Arabian Gulf, with views of the Burj Al Arab. Settle in for a swim and lunch, or order familiar favourites such as a beef burger or Caesar salad. Children have a pool of their own, and the relaxed atmosphere suits a day with family more than a child-free outing.
A beach club on Palm Jumeirah
Riva Beach Club is at The Shoreline on Palm Jumeirah, combining a restaurant with beach and pool access. Its private beach faces the Arabian Gulf, and the Burj Al Arab is visible from the club. Outdoor seating is spread across areas near the pool, beach and garden, so you can choose a place to sit that suits your day.
The club is geared towards families, with space to swim and relax and a separate pool for children. The atmosphere is laid-back, and the beach, pools and restaurant make it possible to stay for a few hours rather than stopping only for a meal.
Swimming and time on the beach
The pool is temperature-controlled, and the children’s pool gives younger guests their own place to splash. The beach is another option for a swim or a break on the sand. The beach closes earlier than the pool: the beach closing time is around 6:30 to 7pm, while the pool stays open until about 10pm.
For more sun by the pool, arrive earlier in the day. Afternoon shade can reach the pool area. Kayaking and other water activities are also mentioned among the options, though activities may have an additional cost.
Food with a sea view
The restaurant serves familiar choices that work well for a casual meal, including burgers, pizzas, pastas and salads. Beef burgers and Caesar salad are among the dishes noted at the club. Drinks are available too, so you can pause for lunch or settle in for a longer poolside visit.
Families may find the menu easier to navigate than a more formal dining room. If you want to spend the day at the beach as well as eat, look into packages that combine entry with a meal or access, and check what each package includes before booking.
Getting there and planning your visit
The club is in Building 8 at The Shoreline, Palm Jumeirah. On-site parking is available, and parking is free for club visitors. Make sure you spot the entrance as you arrive.
Riva Beach Club is more suited to a family day out than to a quiet, adults-only beach visit. If you are planning to swim, allow time for both the beach and pool, and note that their closing times differ. The club also has outdoor areas close to the water, so you can spend the day outside without committing to a full restaurant meal.
