Some other highlights…

A key feature of Club Vista Mare, is that all restaurants have beach access. On the beach, there’s sun loungers and kayak hire by day, for fun pre or post lunch activities.

Unlike some venues on Palm Jumeirah that can take over an hour to get to, Club Vista Mare is situated on the trunk of the Palm (just after Shoreline 10, before Tiara Residence) which makes it just a 15 taxi ride from the Dubai Marina, Tecom and other nearby mainland areas.
