In the last few months, I've had so much work that I decided to take an unscheduled vacation and fly to Dubai for a few days. I want to properly relax, lie on the beach, and go shopping. Of course, I couldn't book the most expensive beachfront hotels, as they are all booked for several weeks in advance. So I was looking for the best hotels in Dubai near the beach. It was important for me that the way to it took no more than 5 minutes. Fortunately, I found some! I'm sharing this selection with you, in case you also decided to embark on a spontaneous trip! The image galleries and prices get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 11, 2024.

Another wonderful option near the beach. The hotel is located on the famous shopping and entertainment street, The Walk, within the Jumeirah Beach Residence complex. This place attracts tourists with its stunning views from the window, a large outdoor pool on the premises, and proximity to Jumeirah Beach.
You can directly access the city beach of Jumeirah from the hotel, it takes no more than 3 minutes. The hotel staff will provide you with a towel, however, sunbeds on the public beach are paid, so keep this in mind. The entrance to the sea is very convenient there, the water is clean (much cleaner than on the famous Palm Jumeirah island). By lunchtime, there are a lot of people, so it's best to go swimming early in the morning.
Almost all rooms have recently been renovated, the interiors are very clean and beautiful. There are family rooms, suites, and standard rooms with a balcony and sea view. Notable features include the prestigious "Rotana" club room with exclusive services and several "Ain Dubai" rooms with a sea view and a Ferris wheel!
Long wait for the elevator, high prices for drinks at the bar, not very attentive staff.
Luxurious location, proximity to the beach and convenient access to it, very tasty breakfasts and dinners, beautiful view from the window.

Literally next door to the previous option is another great hotel, JA Ocean View. The same Jumeirah Beach is just a 3-minute walk from the hotel, and inside there is everything for a wonderful stay: an outdoor pool, 6 restaurants and bars, a spa center, and a gym.
Very convenient access to the public beach, be sure to take your beach towels with you. Jumeirah Beach is one of the best in Dubai, with clean sea and white sand, as well as very easy access to the water. However, it gets crowded by lunchtime, so it’s best to go early. You can play beach volleyball and other games on the beach, as well as try out water activities. Sunbeds are chargeable here!
The rooms here are simple, but very cozy and comfortable. All rooms and suites offer a view of the sea, and each has its own balcony. There are several categories: club rooms, several family rooms, standard double rooms, as well as suites and junior suites.
Very modest rooms, considering the star rating of the hotel. Few European sockets in the room. The rooms lack sunlight.
Delicious and varied breakfasts, very convenient location, close to the beach, spa center, stunning view from the window. An ideal and not very expensive hotel for a few days.
I chose the Amwaj Rotana hotel for myself. It seemed to me that this is the best option available. Moreover, the beach is very close, and you can quickly walk directly to it from the hotel!

A luxurious five-star representative of the world-famous Mövenpick hotel chain - an excellent choice in my situation! It is located in the Jumeirah Beach Residence area, just a five-minute walk from the Persian Gulf beaches! Here, I am welcomed with luxurious rooms, top-notch service, delicious restaurants, and of course, the best beach getaway!
The large public beach JBR is just a few minutes from the hotel, and the staff will provide you with towels and bathrobes to take with you. There are many cafes and restaurants around to stop by on the way. This beach closes around 8 PM (schedule may change), which can be a surprise for some. There is also an option to go to the paid beach at the Rixos hotel (it's right across!). Many people prefer it much more than the public beach.
Luxurious stylish rooms with a sea view and the option to choose various amenities (lounge access, breakfast, etc.). Categories include: family suites, executive and royal suites, superior rooms, deluxe rooms. Inside, everything you need is available, and cleaning is done daily.
Small rooms, no USB ports for charging.
Very convenient location for city walks, excellent dining, rooms after renovation, clean and comfortable, great service, not far from the sea and the beach. Low price compared to hotels on the front line.
