When you choose a long-term or extended stay in Dubai with Estaie, finding the right spot for relaxation is just as important as the city’s dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. For those seeking a coastal escape, two top options are Jebel Ali Beach Dubai and the private beaches at JA The Resort. Each offers a different atmosphere, one tranquil and natural, the other luxurious and amenity-rich.
Jebel Ali Beach Dubai
Jebel Ali Beach: A Public Retreat by the Sea
For visitors and residents seeking a peaceful coastal experience, Jebel Ali Beach Dubai is the perfect choice. Unlike busier beaches such as JBR or Kite Beach, Jebel Ali offers a quieter, more relaxed setting. With its golden sands and calm blue waters, it’s ideal for unwinding, strolling, or simply enjoying the horizon.
The public Jebel Ali Beach is popular with those who prefer natural landscapes over crowded facilities. Its wide stretch of sand and open atmosphere make it a haven for solitude, picnics, or beach walks. For long-term residents, it’s a reminder that Dubai has pockets of natural serenity just a short drive from the city’s high-rise skyline.
JA The Resort: Luxury by the Shore
For a more curated experience, the private beach at JA The Resort Dubai offers exclusivity and world-class amenities. The resort spans over 800 meters of private shoreline, ensuring guests enjoy peace, privacy, and comfort. Unlike the public beach, here you can combine relaxation with activities such as water sports, tennis, golf, or lounging by temperature-controlled pools.
Guests staying at the resort gain automatic access to these facilities, but day passes are also available. This makes it possible for long-term residents or extended-stay visitors to enjoy the luxury beach lifestyle without committing to an overnight stay.
