Surf Club, Palm West Beach

Boho-luxe on the sand. Surf Club is where crochet-trimmed umbrellas, disco balls and an olive tree set the scene for long lunches that become sunset sessions. The Mediterranean menu runs from ceviche and sushi to homemade pasta and paella, and resident DJs soundtrack every sundowner, with the Dubai Marina skyline glowing across the water. It's also the home of Pataakha, Surf Club's first-ever Diwali bash, on 4 November.
