The Mina Seyahi venue announced the temporary closure as it gears up for a major redevelopment, with plans to return in 2027 as a fully reimagined beachfront destination.
Barasti, one of Dubai’s oldest and most iconic beach club venues, is to close this month. Having opened in 1995, Barasti has earnt a reputation as one of Dubai’s most famous destinations. It’s hosted global DJs, screened major sporting events and so much more.
Organisers say the reimagined Barasti will feature multiple zones catering to different moods and audiences, from family-friendly spaces during the day to more elevated, adult-focused experiences after dark. The redevelopment also reflects the rapid evolution of the surrounding neighbourhood as Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour continue to attract a growing residential community.
“Barasti is part of Dubai’s story,” says Ugur Lee Kanbur, Multi-Property General Manager of Destination Mina Seyahi. “For 30 years, it has brought people together and created memories for generations of residents and visitors. We’re creating a destination that will honour that legacy while taking it to an entirely new level.”
The venue is planning one final send-off on 21 June for a full-day celebration starting at 10am.
