Whether you are settling into a sunlounger at Ushuaïa Ibiza, sipping rosé at Club 55 in Saint-Tropez, or watching the sunset from Scorpios in Mykonos — the right swimwear is everything. This is your complete style guide for dressing the three most iconic beach club destinations in the world.
From Dubai, our curated swimwear collections are designed for women and men who travel with intention. Each destination carries its own energy, dress code, and aesthetic and this guide breaks down exactly what to wear at each one, with picks that ship directly from our Dubai boutique to your hotel concierge, wherever in the Mediterranean summer takes you.
We have also packed in practical advice on fabrics, cover-up pairings, accessories, and how to transition from beach to bar without missing a beat, because at these venues, the day does not end when the sun goes down.
01
Ibiza Beach Clubs
Spain · Balearic Islands · Ushuaïa · Nikki Beach · Blue Marlin
Ibiza beach clubs are fashion runways. Ushuaïa, Blue Marlin Ibiza, and Nikki Beach all draw a crowd that mixes clubwear energy with resort wear, the result is high-impact, unapologetically bold, and thoroughly Instagram-ready. Think sculptural one-pieces, string bikinis with architectural hardware, and the kind of cover-up kaftan you would frame on a wall.
For women, Ibiza calls for statement pieces, a bandeau bikini in a burnt orange abstract print, a backless one-piece with gold ring detailing, or a high-leg cut in jewel-toned metallic fabric. Pair with sheer mesh cover-ups, oversized straw hats, and strappy flat sandals in natural leather or raffia.
02
South of France
French Riviera · Club 55 · La Guérite · Pampelonne Beach
The South of France perfected chic before chic had a name. Club 55 in Ramatuelle and La Guérite off Cannes set the gold standard for effortless summer dressing — where less is always more and quality speaks for itself.
The French Riviera rewards restraint. Opt for a beautifully cut triangle bikini in navy, ivory, or a dusty rose rather than busy prints. A well-tailored one-piece in a maillot style minimal embellishment, exceptional fabric is as aspirational here as any designer gown at Cannes. The Brigitte Bardot effect is very much alive on Pampelonne Beach.
Cover-ups should feel effortless: a fine linen button-down knotted at the waist, a floor-length cotton voile pareo in white or pale stripe, or a simple terry cloth robe that doubles as a towel. Espadrilles are non-negotiable, they were essentially born here. For accessories, a tortoiseshell cat-eye sunnies frame and a tote woven from natural seagrass complete the look.
03
Mykonos Beach Clubs
Greece · Cyclades · Scorpios · Paradise Beach · Alemagou
Mykonos blends Mediterranean heritage with world-class hedonism. From the sunset rituals at Scorpios to the full-day parties at Paradise Beach, the swimwear scene celebrates the body with elegant simplicity — draped, considered, and sun-kissed.
Mykonos is the place for Grecian-inspired swimwear: wrap-style bikini tops, asymmetric one-pieces, draped bandeau styles in white, terracotta, dusty gold, and natural linen tones. Textures that echo the island itself, crinkled fabric, macramé knots, raw-edge linen photograph beautifully against the blue-white backdrop of the Cyclades.
Scorpios, in particular, has cultivated an earthy, spiritual-meets-glamorous aesthetic that has influenced global swimwear trends. Think a rust-coloured bandeau bikini worn with a flowing white cotton midi skirt, tied loosely at the hip. Flat leather sandals, minimal gold jewellery, and a wide-brim natural straw hat round out the look perfectly.
