10Best Dance Clubs
Apartment Lounge
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Dubai  • 4-406-8000 • 4-406-8999
        Description: Despite a few identity crises in past years, the Apartment has managed to return to the top of the "exclusive nightclubs" roster. Two separate spaces appeal to those who prefer to chill out with a martini as well as those who would rather throw down on the dance floor. Depending on the night, you might find DJs spinning funky house, 80s hits or contemporary dance music. Dress your trendy best; designer jeans and trainers are permitted.

Boudoir
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
Jumeirah Beach Rd Dubai Marine Beach Resort & Spa, Dubai  • 4-345-5995
        Description: This classy venue (think French Renaissance-meets-Baroque, if you can) brings more than a dash of Parisian chic to the club scene. A firm favorite of the swankier demographic of the Lebanese community, this is a dressy place that keeps things fresh with a succession of theme nights throughout the week. If you're lucky enough to have two X chromosomes, think about checking out Boudoir on a Tuesday - ladies drink free champagne all evening!

The skilled bartenders create some of the city's most potent cocktails, and the sophisticated decor and café-style tables are conducive to intimate conversations. As the night wears on, DJs turn it into one of the most exclusive dance clubs around, with the beat-driven parties lasting long after most people go to bed. As if that wasn't enough, Carters also features its popular Big Life Jazz Band, which helps get things swinging every night save Sunday.

Lotus One
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
Sheikh Zayed Rd World Trade Convention Centre, Dubai  • 4-329-3200
        Description: Sometimes, the carefully designed clubs fall into that "all style and no substance" trap. Not so, Lotus One. On the one hand is the decor – this is about as contemporary as it gets, with leather couches, hardwood floors, chairs suspended from the ceiling, mood enhancing light effects, and even a small stream visible through a glass "window" in the floor. On the other hand, they have surprisingly good pan-Asian food, an eclectic array of cocktails and awesome music. It manages to be comfortable and cutting-edge, all at once. Highly recommended.

Mix
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
Oud Metha Grand Hyatt Dubai, Dubai  • 4-317-1234
        Description: The Grand Hyatt really pulls out the stops with this vast 'superclub', which operates on three floors. The Dance Club on the lowest level can hold a cool 900 people, and things chill out as you ascend. Mix also boasts a chic lounge on the mezzanine level with a separate DJ and – get this – a soundproofed bar upstairs. This is absolutely the place if you want to let rip in style.

Pancho's Villa's
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
Astoria Hotel, Dubai  • 4-353-4300
        Description: There's nothing quite like kicking back on the hacienda, especially in a beautiful desert oasis like Dubai. The city's premiere Tex-Mex joint, Pancho Villa's enjoys the patronage of a wide range of folks, including business travelers, local movers and shakers, and tourists. Indeed, everybody heads to this Southwestern-themed nightclub for its terrific drink specials, spicy food, and awesome dance parties, and the parties tend to grow louder and wilder as the night wears on.

Peppermint
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
Sheikh Zayed Rd The Fairmont Dubai, Dubai  • 4-332-0037
        Description: The Peppermint, with its discreet – not to say easily missed – side-of-hotel entrance and distinctive vibe, has a genuinely exclusive feel. Throughout the year a steady stream of big name DJs is attracted here, because it means something to have a gig at the Peppermint's Barajeel Ballroom on their résumé. The only drawbacks are the real possibility of snaking queues, particularly on weekends, and the certainty that unaccompanied males will be denied entrance.
