Private VIP Surf Session, Surfbase Dubai
A closed private session on Surfbase Dubai's 30-metre programmable wave, your own instructor coaching your group alone, with hotel transfer and a photo package included.
Surfbase Dubai is set to open in CityLand Mall in Dubailand in the fourth quarter of 2026 as the world's largest indoor surf club, a permanent resident rather than a pop-up, built around a 30-metre-wide programmable wave that can be tuned from gentle rollers for first-timers to serious barrels for experienced riders. Public sessions run as scheduled slots shared with other surfers working through the same wave settings. This private VIP format sets your group apart from that queue entirely: the wave is closed to everyone but you, one instructor works with your group alone from the first paddle to the last ride, tuning the programme to whichever mix of beginners and experienced surfers you bring, and a photo package captures the session so the ride is not just a memory. A chauffeured transfer collects you from your Dubai hotel and returns you once the session ends, and the club's on-site fitness studios, wellness area and surf shop are there to explore before or after your slot.

What our travellers say
Real impressions from guests on our private UAE tours.
Guests consistently give us top marks for the private format and the care of their guide.
The dune bashing was thrilling but our driver never made us feel unsafe, and the photo stops were perfectly timed for sunset.
Went straight from the helicopter pad to the yacht without a single dull minute. Best adrenaline day we have had in years.
Skydiving over Palm Jumeirah then quad biking in the same afternoon, the private schedule made it possible to fit both in.
