With so many resorts in and around the Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah area, it can be quite hard to decide which ones to go to for a family pool day. We have rounded up a handful, that we have been – and loved.

Remember to call them before you head over to check for availability!

Enjoy a pool and beach day in Dubai with the little ones.

Pssst. They also have an adults-only pool should you decide to sneak off for some quiet time while daddy (or mummy) stays with the kids.

Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Dubai Jumeirah Beach

The little ones will love watching the planes flying pass Ain Dubai, jet skis whizzing around and tractors pulling jet skis on trailers.
