Introduction
Imagine sipping a cocktail while floating at Sky Pool at The Palm in a pool suspended high above the iconic skyline of Dubai. Now stop imagining—because the Sky Pool at The Palm is exactly that and more. As a travel blogger who’s seen some jaw-dropping destinations, I can say this sky-high pool is in a league of its own.
Welcome to the world’s highest 360-degree Dubai infinity pool, located at the Aura Skypool Lounge, perched 200 meters above ground at The Palm Tower. If you’re planning a luxury escape to Dubai or just want to elevate your Instagram game, this is the place that deserves a top spot on your itinerary.
What is the Sky Pool at The Palm?
The Sky Pool, officially part of the Aura Skypool Lounge, offers one of the most mesmerizing experiences in Dubai. Floating high on the 50th floor of The Palm Tower, Sky Pool at The Palm offers uninterrupted 360-degree views of some of the city’s most iconic landmarks: Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa, and the vast Arabian Gulf.
This isn’t just a pool—it’s a sky-high oasis where luxury, relaxation, and design meet.
Why It’s So Special (Dubai infinity pool)
As someone who’s explored many infinity pools around the world, what sets the Aura Skypool apart isn’t just its height. It’s the attention to detail—the minimalistic but elegant sun decks, the mood-setting music, and the way the sunrise and sunset reflect off the water, giving the illusion that you’re swimming in the sky.
The 360-degree layout allows visitors to walk around the entire edge and take in different panoramic angles of Dubai without ever leaving the pool. Whether you’re there for a relaxing day bed session or a sunset swim, every moment feels surreal.
Best Time to Visit
From a blogger’s lens (and for the best photos!), sunrise or sunset sessions are gold. The morning vibe is serene and perfect for a relaxing dip before the day heats up. The evening, especially golden hour, turns the entire pool into a reflective canvas glowing with city lights.
Pro Tip: Book the sunset session in advance—it’s the most popular and sells out quickly.
Ticket Prices and Booking
This luxury experience doesn’t come cheap, but it’s worth every dirham.
- Morning Session: From AED 170
- Afternoon Session: From AED 200
- Full Day: From AED 370
- VIP Loungers and Cabana Packages: AED 600+
Bookings can be made online through the Aura Skypool official website, and I highly recommend reserving early—especially during high season (November to March).
Food & Drink at the Lounge
The Aura Lounge isn’t just about swimming. Their curated menu of Asian-inspired dishes and signature cocktails is divine. Think spicy edamame, wagyu sliders, miso black cod, and refreshing lychee mocktails.
Even if you’re not a swimmer, the atmosphere alone is worth it. It’s a vibe you won’t find anywhere else in Dubai.

The Sky Pool is located on the 50th floor of The Palm Tower in Palm Jumeirah. Taxis, rideshare apps, or the Palm Monorail will get you close. There’s also valet parking available for those driving in.

My Personal Experience
From the moment I stepped out onto the Sky Pool deck, I knew I was somewhere unforgettable. The contrast of calm water with Dubai’s energetic skyline made it feel almost meditative. I lounged with a chilled drink, watched the yachts sail around the Palm, and caught one of the most spectacular sunsets I’ve ever seen.
The vibe? Chic, calm, and cosmopolitan. It’s not loud or crowded—more of a curated crowd of people who came to relax, pose, and soak in the views.
