Palm trees, infinity pools, sandy beaches, and year-round sunshine... Dubai has everything to entice families looking for a getaway. But in this hot, dry climate, where the sun beats down even in winter, it's essential to plan your suitcase carefully—and it all starts with choosing your swimsuit .
At Loumio Paris, we design UV-resistant swimwear designed to safely accompany children on all their adventures. And we'll explain why it's the smartest (and prettiest) choice for fully enjoying Dubai.
☀️ Dubai: high-intensity sunshine
With over 350 days of sunshine a year, UV rays are omnipresent in Dubai. Even when the desert wind softens the heat, the skin still receives UVA (responsible for skin aging) and UVB (responsible for sunburn) .
And contrary to popular belief, sunscreen doesn't effectively protect against all UVA rays , especially if it's applied incorrectly or diluted with water. But in Dubai, between the water games, hotel pools, and frequent swimming, it's inevitable...
👶 UV-protective swimsuits: essential for children in Dubai
That's where the Loumio Paris UV-protective swimsuit comes in. Made from UPF 50+ certified fabric , it blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays . And unlike sunscreen, it won't rub off every time you swim or go to the water park.
Why it's a must-see in Dubai:
– The sun is strong from the morning until the end of the day.
– Children spend a lot of time in the water and on the warm sand.
– Long days of excursions (zoo, desert, beach, etc.) require continuous protection.
In a word: the anti-UV swimsuit provides long-lasting protection, even when wet — and without having to remember to reapply cream every two hours.

💦 Water + textiles: the winning duo
In an environment like Dubai, sunscreen quickly shows its limits :
– It flows with perspiration.
– It can irritate the eyes in water games.
– It is not always tolerated by sensitive skin.
Anti-UV textiles then become the most reliable solution . A long-sleeved top or a full suit allows you to cover the most exposed areas (shoulders, back, neck) without compromising on comfort .
And for active children, it's also a gain in freedom : they can move, run, climb and dive without worrying about their skin.
🌈 And in terms of style, what should you choose for Dubai?
Dubai is a city of inspiration, blending futuristic modernity with Eastern culture . On the beaches and at the pool, we dare to embrace graphic prints, vibrant colors, and matchy-matchy looks.

🧳 Travel light, but well protected
When traveling to Dubai with children, every detail counts.
A UV-protective swimsuit replaces several tubes of cream . It doesn't take up more space in your suitcase, but it saves you worry.
And most importantly, it gives you more time to enjoy yourself. Fewer breaks for sunscreen, more swimming. Fewer sunburns, more memories.
