La Mer Dubai - with its sunny beachside charm and funky urban street cred - is one of the most colourful and exciting leisure destinations in town. La Mer, translated as “the sea”, offers more than just glittering sands, sea and sun, and is likely to become your new favourite place in Dubai to eat, play, shop and unwind. Nestled between Pearl Jumeirah and Jumeirah Bay, La Mer Dubai spans 1.24 million square meters of space divided into 4 zones: The Beach, The Entertainment Hub, The North Island and The South Island. The two islands are made up of the residential neighborhoods including beachfront villas. The Entertainment hub is home to the waterpark, surf park, trampoline park, cinema, gymnasium and 130 establishments in the form of cafés, shops, restaurants, and more - giving you plenty to do, see, buy and eat!
In this essential guide to Dubai’s La Mer, we’ll highlight the top 10 things to do to make it easier for you to decide!
1. Lazy beach days
Sink your toes into the warm, white sand and feel the breeze in your hair as you lounge in a private cabana with your favourite book or enjoy the never-ending views of the Arabian Gulf. Sea Breeze makes it easy for you to enjoy the beach to its fullest by offering cabanas, sunbeds, umbrellas, towels, and a host of special offers, including discounts on food and sunbed bundles for ladies.
2. Action-packed beach days
If lazing on the beach is not your idea of fun, the North Beach and South Beach offer thrilling water activities and beach sports for adventure enthusiasts. Enjoy flyboarding, jetskiing, wakeboarding and wakesurfing on North Beach and make your way to the South Beach for activities like standup paddling, waterbiking, kayaking, and peddle boating on a Pedalo.

3. Splash and surf at Laguna Water Park
Lose the salt water and ride the waves on the 187-feet wall-to-wall wave stimulator instead. The WaveOz 180 is one of only three 180 degree surf simulators in the world, making it must-try activity in Dubai! Laguna Water Park also offers a range of water slides, lazy rivers, a kids splash zone and a pool to keep you entertained all day long.
4. Bounce on the dunes at Hawa Hawa
This unique dune-shaped inflatable playground attracts children and adults alike, and provides low-impact, high-intensity fun for everyone! Hawa Hawa offers two dunes and seven peaks where families and friends can bounce and play all day long.
5. Om nom nom
Everybody has to eat and there is no shortage of culinary options to choose from at La Mer Dubai! With over 50 beachfront eateries, we recommend following your nose along the North Island and South Island waterfronts to see what makes your mouth water most. You’ll discover gastronomic delights from global and local cultures that are sure to keep you coming back to try them all! Try the “mischievous” Indian menu at Masti, crab-smashing fun at Aprons & Hammers, hearty breakfasts at HQ’S 459, authentic Japanese fare at Motomachi, Latin American fruit-based delicacies at Hola, unusual ice cream flavours like curry at iScream, and so much more!
6. Shopper’s paradise
The colourful and eclectic shopping hub has a plethora of one-of-a-kind boutiques, concept stores, brand name fashion outlets and many other hidden treasures to explore. Some notable shopping highlights include names like Sephora, Beach Bunny, Sun Eye, Via Rodeo, Trina Turk Los Angeles, ShayMartian and Sevenfriday.
7. Views for days
You won’t want to forget your selfie stick at home when visiting La Mer, because the instagrammable eye candy is everywhere! Featuring decorative art, creative murals and funky graffiti, La Mer integrates minimalist and contemporary design elements with rustic sea-side vibes making it one of the most eclectic and interesting places to see in Dubai.
8. Luxury cinema experience
Catching a movie in a theatre is one thing. Doing it at Roxy Cinemas is a unique, luxurious, guest-focused experience you’ll never forget. Boasting the latest technology and ultra-stylish elements in an intimate boutique setting, Roxy Cinemas is the best way to take a break from the sun and sand outside.
9. Fun for the kids at Kidoos
When the kids are bored, Kidoos is there to save the day! Kidoos Entertainment revolves around children's edutainment, with a unique series of children’s activities devoted to physical, emotional and social development. Kidoos provides a state-of-the-art children's playground, toddler zone, snow park, rope course adventures, interactive games, arts and crafts, and even hosts birthday parties.
