AURA Skypool Dubai

AURA Skypool is a 360-degree infinity pool on the 50th floor of The Palm Tower on Palm Jumeirah, 210 metres above sea level. It opened in November 2021, and its owners bill it as the world's highest 360-degree infinity pool.

What to see

The pool wraps around the whole tower, so you can swim or walk the full circle: the Palm on one side, Burj Al Arab, Dubai Marina with Ain Dubai and the city skyline on the others. The view you book only decides where your lounger is. The pool is a uniform 1.25 m deep and heated, and a DJ plays during the afternoon session.

The ticket covers the session, an allocated seat, a towel, changing rooms, lockers and showers. Food and drinks are paid separately, and some afternoon seats carry a prepaid minimum spend. Next to the pool, an indoor lounge serves breakfast, lunch and evening brunch, without pool access and for guests over 21 after 19:00.

Getting there

By taxi, ask for St. Regis Dubai, The Palm, where valet at the main entrance is free. From Palm Jumeirah Mall (formerly Nakheel Mall), use the St. Regis entrance on the first floor by the Al Ittihad Park entrance and follow the AURA SKYPOOL signs. The Palm Monorail stops at Palm Jumeirah Mall, but check that it is running before you rely on it: it was closed for maintenance in 2026.

Planning your visit

Sessions are sunrise 6:00–9:00, morning 10:00–14:00, afternoon into sunset 15:00–19:00 and evening 20:00–23:00, plus a full day from 10:00 to 19:00. On the official website prices start at AED 225 for sunrise and evening, AED 250 for the morning and AED 300 for the sunset session, depending on seat and view. Book on the AURA website and early: the pool usually sells out, and walk-ins are accepted only if there is space.
