With its sleek and classic decor reminiscent of a calming day out on a beach, the club offers you top-of-the-line amenities to give you the best possible experience.

Go big, or go home… quite literally.

Dubbed as the world’s highest 360° infinity pool at 200 meters above the ground, the Aura Skypool is suspended in the sky, giving you a sweet view of the skyline of Dubai, overlooking Palm Jumeirah and the Arabian Gulf. And if that isn’t reason enough to want to drop what you’re doing and go spend an evening gazing at the enchanting hues of the horizon, the Aura has a lot more to offer.

Bringing nature indoors with comfortable seating and relaxing views, the Lounge at Aura Skypool gives you the space to enjoy a quick snack, breakfast, lunch or dinner with your loved ones- or by yourself, if that’s what you fancy. The space is decorated with the colours and textures of nature, truly bringing a beachside feel to the restaurant with its indoor plants and wicker chairs and wooden accents.

Their menu features Pan Asian cuisine and serves bites throughout the day, from breakfast to lunch and of course, the criteria that puts it on the map for this list, drinks. Sushi, salads, and sliders are only some of the dishes that are included on their truly extensive menu. Satay chicken, Bok Choy and Kung Pao, you might consider dropping by just for the food. They also have a range of desserts.
