Swim-up, at the main pool, and best at blue hour

Naseem Pool Bar

Bar

The swim-up bar at blue hour: a bamboo pergola hung with pierced brass lanterns over a mosaic counter, stools standing in the water in front of it, and the lit fort on the ridge behind the palms.

The drinks list is built on mojitos, and in this setting that is the right call.

A bar you stand in up to your chest wants something long, cold and not strong, and this one has put that at the centre of the list instead of at the bottom of it.

There is a lounge for adults set back from the water, which is what makes the arrangement work: the children keep the shallow end and nobody has to leave to get any quiet.

The pool stays open an hour after the bar stops serving. That last hour is the best of it — no service, no music, and more stars than a city ever shows you.
