Abu Dhabi
This pool and beach party, beloved by Abu Dhabi's buffed and toned set, is an all-day affair. Boats leave frequently from the dock near the Khalidiya Reyhaan Hotel on the Corniche. Admission includes one drink (women have free entry until 1pm). With a swag of DJs playing sets, the party continues on after sun set.
On the island beer and wine costs from Dhs45 and cocktails from Dhs60. There's a strict over 21s and couples and mixed groups only policy.
