Barasti, the long-standing favourite in Dubai Marina, is bringing back free access to its beach and pool areas — and it’s sticking around until October 2025. After briefly introducing an entry fee earlier this year, Barasti has dropped charges altogether, with no minimum spend required.

The move comes after Barasti’s recent major refresh, which saw upgrades to the pool deck, the addition of hammocks, and 16 premium cabanas for those who want to lounge in style.

Regular cabanas are available for free. VIP cabanas and front-row loungers can be booked starting from AED 150.

The end of summer at Barasti is also heating up with several offers:

1. After Dark Night Swim every Thursday and Friday

  • Free entry + 1 free drink for ladies
  • AED 150 including 2 drinks for gents

2. Tease Me Brunch every Saturday, 5 PM-8 PM. It costs AED 229/person and includes free-flowing drinks and a dish.

Whether you’re planning a relaxed day by the sea or a night swim with music and friends, Barasti is offering plenty without the high price tag.

With just a couple of months left before summer winds down, now’s a great time to make the most of the beach season. For more ideas, check out our guide to the best 2025 summer activities in Dubai for kids, teens, and families.
