Dubai has long been home to some of the best beaches in the Middle East – and the Palm Jumeriah has only expanded its already world-beating offer in recent years.

SĀN Beach

SĀN Beach recalls the deep-rooted wisdom of the first people, the San, honouring the elemental rhythms and the topography of self and other.

The San believed in an invisible energy, accessed through ritual.

This energy, vibrational potency or magic power was alive.

It was used for healing of illness as well as divisions within society.

It was always a force for good.

At SĀN Beach we hope to co-create (with you) a similar energy.

One that is well-intentioned and tender and vibrant.

Art, nourishment, music and connection; these rituals allow for a resonance that is felt beyond the moment.
