The magic of Dubai’s skyline is something you never forget. Here are five rooftops that redefine the art of the metropolitan aperitif, turning every sunset into a private show 200 meters above the ground.
CÉ LA VI – Level 54, Address Sky View
The undisputed throne of the skyline. With 360° views from 220 meters high, CÉ LA VIE is more than a rooftop — it’s a full sensory experience where contemporary Asian cuisine meets signature mixology. The infinity-edge pool gives the illusion of diving straight into the city.
Level 43 Sky Lounge – Four Points Sheraton Downtown
The insider secret of the city’s sophisticated locals. Level 43 offers the most breathtaking front-facing view of the Burj Khalifa without the tourist crowds. A retro ‘70s-inspired lounge atmosphere, signature cocktails that are liquid works of art, and live jazz on Fridays until late night.
Luna Sky Bar – Four Seasons DIFC
Refined like a Cartier jewel. Luna seduces with its minimal-chic aesthetic and privileged view over DIFC. Specialty: vintage champagne and tuna tartare that makes you forget Tokyo.
Attiko – The Lana Dorchester Collection
The new enfant prodige of Dubai’s high society. Located on the 40th floor of The Lana, Attiko offers contemporary Greek cuisine with panoramic views over Business Bay. A terrace adorned with century-old olive trees imported from Greece creates a Santorini-chic atmosphere that makes you forget you’re in the desert.
AURA Skypool – Palm Tower
The ultimate frontier of luxury poolside living. AURA is the world’s highest infinity pool, on the 50th floor, with an exclusive view over Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis. It’s not just a rooftop bar — it’s a sky-high beach club. Private cabanas, sommelier service, and international DJ sets.
These rooftops are not just places to have a drink — they’re urban stages where Dubai reveals its most sophisticated side. Each venue tells a different story of the city: from the business energy of DIFC to Downtown’s glamorous nightlife, up to the rarefied exclusivity of Palm Jumeirah.
