There’s something special about winter in Dubai. It’s the cool breeze brushing your face, the gentle sun warming your skin without the scorching heat, and the sight of families and friends gathering to enjoy the best of what the city has to offer. Kite Beach and Palm West Beach come alive during this time of year, and it’s more than just another day at the beach—it’s about connection, movement, and making memories that will stay long after the season ends.
Let me take you there. Picture yourself on a crisp morning, lacing up your sneakers while the first light of dawn breaks over the water. You’re surrounded by others, all ready to take on the day. Winter at Dubai's beaches is about these moments—small but meaningful—that make the season unforgettable.
Your Winter Activity Guide:
This season, it’s not just about sitting on the sand—it's about embracing all the active opportunities our beautiful beaches have to offer. Here are some must-try activities happening this December at both Kite Beach and Palm West Beach:
Running Sessions 🏃♂️
Imagine the early morning sun just peeking above the horizon as you start your run. The sound of waves lapping against the shore keeps time with each stride, and the cool breeze fills your lungs with freshness. This Saturday running sessions at Kite Beach Beach are more than exercise—they’re a chance to feel alive, surrounded by people who share the same energy and love for the morning quiet before the city wakes up. Join the fun and energy of the BDXB Run of Shows! Whether you’re an early riser or prefer an evening run, we’ve got you covered.
Group Volleyball Games 🏐
Weekends are for fun, laughter, and a bit of healthy competition. The group volleyball games at Kite Beach aren’t just for the pros—they’re for anyone who wants to jump in, feel the sand between their toes, and spike a ball while the crowd cheers. Picture yourself diving for the perfect save, high-fiving your teammates, and sharing a laugh as the sun dips low. Join our sessions which are led by an experienced coach, UAE Champion in indoor volleyball and winner of all three UAE Beach Tour events in the 2023-2024 season.
Gym Sweat Session 💪
Friday nights at Palm West Beach are where fitness meets nature. As the sun begins to set, the beach transforms into an open-air gym where the sound of your heartbeat mixes with the rhythm of the waves. Imagine pushing through each rep, your body working hard while the ocean breeze keeps you cool. Join the full body circuit weights training at Move by Five. A fun way to burn calories and get fit, at the coolest beach gym in Dubai. Cool off after the session with an invigorating ice bath plunge.
Sunset Reboot 🌅❄️
Picture this: The sky is painted with shades of pink and orange as the sun sets. You’re standing on the sand, taking a deep breath, and feeling everything you’ve been holding onto slowly release. The Sunset Reboot is about transformation—first through deep, mindful breathwork, then the exhilarating shock of a cold plunge, and finally the balance and focus of Sadhu board practice. It’s a ritual that takes you from the stress of the week to a state of pure relaxation, surrounded by the natural beauty of Dubai’s beaches. If you’ve been wanting to give back to yourself, this is your call.
Winter at Dubai’s beaches won’t last forever—make sure you take advantage of these activities while the weather is just right. From heart-pumping runs to rejuvenating sunset experiences, there’s something for everyone. Come down, bring a friend, join the community, and let’s make this season one to remember.
