Get set for pool days with a silver screen twist at one of Dubai’s most iconic venues
Ever wanted to swap your sunbed for a cinema seat, without ever leaving the poolside?
This summer, Raffles The Palm Dubai is redefining what it means to lounge poolside.
Tucked away on the iconic West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah, this legendary beachfront resort is giving its luxurious pool and beach day pass a blockbuster upgrade, by adding a cinematic experience unlike any other.
From now through September, guests can soak up the sun in style and then cool down in the resort’s private 80-seat cinema, a hidden gem that’s usually off-limits to day visitors.
For a limited time, Raffles is throwing open the velvet curtain on this exclusive space, combining the tranquil beauty of a day by the Arabian Gulf with the magic of the movies.
The experience runs daily from 9am to 7pm and includes full access to Raffles’ shimmering indoor and outdoor pools, pristine private beach, and cutting-edge fitness facilities.
But the true showstopper comes when you trade your sun lounger for a cinema seat.
Step into plush surrounds, grab a bag of fresh popcorn, and lose yourself in a handpicked selection of films screened throughout the day.
