What Is the Best Time to Play Volleyball at the Beach in Dubai?

Whether you're a seasoned player or just discovering the thrill of beach activities, timing your game right can make all the difference, especially in a place like Dubai, where the weather can be your best friend or your toughest opponent.

So, what is the best time to play volleyball at the beach in Dubai? Let’s break it down.

Early Mornings: Beat the Heat, Catch the Calm

If you’re looking to enjoy beach volleyball without the intense heat, early mornings (around 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM) are ideal.

Kite Beach opens early in the morning, offering the perfect window for a refreshing beach volleyball game before the city gets busy.

Mornings also offer:

• Cooler temperatures

• Fewer crowds

• Calm winds (great for smoother gameplay)

Late Afternoons to Sunset: Golden Hour for a Reason

Another sweet spot is from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, especially from October to April. The sun begins to dip, casting a golden hue over the sand, and the energy on the beach picks up, with players, joggers, and families all enjoying the beach activities.

This is also the most scenic time to rent a court and enjoy a game with friends.

Stay Cool During Midday Play

Our courts are open and ready for play all day, even during the summer heat. If you're hitting the court between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM, just remember to stay hydrated. Bring water, or if you forget, you can buy a cold bottle of Monviso water at our venue. Don’t forget sun protection and take breaks in the shade to stay comfortable and safe while enjoying your game.

Best Months for Beach Volleyball in Dubai

If you’re planning ahead, the cooler months from October to April offer the best weather for outdoor sports.

That’s when Dubai’s beach scene comes alive, especially at hotspots like Kite Beach, where you can find lively matches, volleyball enthusiasts, and plenty of space to join in.

Bonus Tip: Keep an Eye on the Wind

Wind conditions can affect how the ball moves and how you play, especially in open areas. While the weather can be unpredictable, EVA adapts each session to fit the conditions. On a windy day, expect more footwork, strength drills, or med-ball exercises to help build control and resilience.

Apps like Windy or AccuWeather can help you pick the perfect slot.
