Aura Skypool
Aura Skypool is the world's highest 360° infinity pool, on level 50 of The Palm Tower on Palm Jumeirah. As you swim around it you see the Palm, Burj Al Arab, Dubai Marina with the Ain Dubai wheel and the city skyline.
You choose a time slot and a seat. The seat decides the view from your daybed, but you can swim and walk around the whole pool.
How I book it
Tickets are paid in full in advance. I choose the time and a seat with the view you want and make the booking. My booking fee is 50 USD (185 AED) per booking, for any number of seats.
Age
- The pool admits guests aged 12 and over; guests aged 12-18 only with an adult.
- After 19:00 the indoor lounge admits guests aged 21 and over only.
- Bring a passport or ID: without it entry may be refused, with no refund.
- For families with younger children there is Family Swim, from age 6, in December and early January (details below).
Seating plan
The pool runs around the whole floor. Each side has its own view and its own rows of seats: the 1st row is right by the water, and cabanas are shaded seats with a canopy.
Prices
In October 2026 the pool is closed for renovation and reopens to guests in late November; I already book dates after the reopening.
Prices are for 1 December 2026 to 30 December 2027, include VAT and are per person for the chosen time slot; cabana prices are per cabana for two, with a supplement for each extra guest. Full day (10:00-19:00) from 875 AED per person. Ask me for prices before 1 December 2026.
