DAYCATIONS"A Palm beach day from AED 99, with most of it coming straight back as food and drink credit."
One of the Palm’s easier beach days to justify.
Riva gives you access to the pool and private beach, a lounger and towel, then hands most of your entry fee back to spend on food and drinks. Weekdays are the sweet spot: AED 99 for adults with AED 89 back as credit. Weekends rise to AED 175 with AED 150 back.
It’s relaxed, family-friendly and noticeably less scene-y than some of the Palm’s bigger beach clubs — good when you actually want to swim, eat and stay put for a few hours.
“Go on a weekday if you can. The AED 99 adult pass with AED 89 back to spend is the best-value version of the deal.”

“Driving? Riva has free parking, which immediately makes this one of the less painful Palm beach days. Walk-ins are welcome too, but arrive earlier on weekends if you want your pick of loungers.”
