It works because the view sells the honeymoon before you have unpacked. Address Beach Resort opened in 2020 in the JBR cluster, a 77-storey twin-tower complex holding 217 hotel rooms and suites above a beachfront. Its headline is the rooftop infinity pool, ZETA Seventy Seven, which spans the skybridge linking the two towers on Level 77, roughly 294 metres above the sea, with a wet surface of around 560 square metres. When it was certified in March 2021 it held the Guinness World Record for the highest outdoor infinity pool in the world; that specific record passed to the new Tattu Sky Pool at Ciel Dubai Marina in 2025, but the swim here remains one of the most spectacular in the city.
For a couple, the appeal is the combination: a skyline pool for the photograph, a private JBR beach for the daytime, and the Marina and JBR boardwalks a lift ride down for dinner. This is the modern, high-rise face of Dubai rather than a low-rise sand-and-palms retreat, so it suits couples who find that thrilling rather than those seeking seclusion. The rooms lean contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling glass framing either the sea or the city.
Ask for a high-floor Sky Suite oriented toward the city for the Burj Khalifa and Marina panorama, the view that defines a stay here. The floor-to-ceiling glass turns the skyline into the room's main feature, and the elevated position keeps the JBR bustle at a remove.
If the Sky Suite is beyond budget, a Premier Sea-View Room still delivers a full-height Gulf outlook at the entry level. Whichever category you pick, request the highest floor available and confirm the aspect, city-facing for the skyline or sea-facing for the sunset, because the two experiences are genuinely different and this is the one decision worth getting right in advance.
The rooftop pool is the reason most couples book, and it fills up fast. Get there in the first hour after it opens for the near-empty pool and the clean skyline photograph, then move down to the beach for the day and save the JBR and Marina boardwalks for the evening dining circuit.
Address Beach Resort sits on the beach at Jumeirah Beach Residence, on the Dubai Marina side of the city, roughly a 30-minute drive from Dubai International Airport in normal traffic. The JBR beachfront and The Walk are directly below, with Dubai Marina's restaurants and the tram a short stroll away, so you can spend a whole day without a car.
For trips into Downtown Dubai, the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall, budget 20 to 30 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. The location is a genuine strength for a first Dubai honeymoon: beach, boardwalk and marina nightlife on foot, with the city's landmarks an easy ride away.
Address Beach Resort earns its place, but three trade-offs are worth naming so you book it for the right reasons.
Against its neighbours on our Top 20 Dubai honeymoon ranking, Address Beach Resort is the skyline-and-pool choice. It scored an editorial 9.4 out of 10 across Room and Design, Service and Location, which places it at number 15. Where the Ritz-Carlton, Dubai offers a low-rise, garden-and-beach classicism on the same JBR strip and Raffles The Palm trades on Palm Jumeirah grandeur, Address Beach Resort's pitch is the vertical, view-first Dubai.

No. Address Beach Resort's Level 77 pool held the Guinness World Record for the highest outdoor infinity pool from March 2021, but that record passed to the Tattu Sky Pool at Ciel Dubai Marina in 2025. It remains one of the highest and most dramatic pools in Dubai.
On the beach at Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), on the Dubai Marina side of the city, about a 30-minute drive from Dubai International Airport.
A high-floor Sky Suite facing the city for the Burj Khalifa and Marina view, or a Premier Sea-View Room at the entry level for a full-height Gulf outlook.
Views. This is a large, lively high-rise resort on a busy beach strip. Couples who want quiet and privacy should consider a low-rise Palm Jumeirah or garden resort instead.
