To add on to my previous piece on Resort Pools close to the main building, this piece covers Pools and Playgrounds in resorts which have shade – regardless of the time of the day.
This means that they :
- Have a roof over part of their main pool – some are by the bars areas, some are over their jacuzzi areas
- Have a shaded outdoor Playground
Note that these are main pools, and not kids pools. To highlight for most of them – you do have to walk underneath the sun which can be a pain, but once you are at the pool and playground – you are good for the day.
Follow us on Instagram as we explore all the many pools in and around Dubai.
