Kyma Beach

KYMA Beach stands on Palm West Beach in Dubai, on a man-made shore of the Arabian Gulf, opposite Fairmont The Palm. It is run by RIKAS Hospitality Group, Rizwan Kassim's company, and was launched with The St. Regis Dubai, The Palm; a review of December 2022 counted it among the city's new beach clubs. A second KYMA Beach operates in Egypt.

The beach opens daily from ten until sunset, and the restaurant until one in the morning. The day is sold as sunbeds or private cabanas, booked by telephone, e-mail, WhatsApp or through SevenRooms. The operator keeps its rates in a downloadable sheet; an independent guide, updated in April 2026, gives sunbeds at AED 200 on weekdays and AED 250 at weekends, the weekday rate fully redeemable on food and drink. From noon to seven the club is for guests of twenty-one and over; after seven there is no age limit. The dress code is smart casual and beachwear, and pets are not admitted.

Greek in the kitchen. The menu is Greek with Mediterranean influences, from taramosalata and souvlaki to galaktompoureko, designed by chef Gilles Bosquet.

Pool as well as sand. An infinity pool, its water kept at a set temperature and ringed by loungers under macramé parasols, sits alongside the beach.

Day into night. The beach closes at sunset, but the restaurant runs until one, and at seven the age rule lifts.
