A sandy beach area, a shady terrace and of course, the highlight, a swimming pool, this park-located restaurant also hosts BBQs in summer for the complete beach feel. The restaurant is open 7 days a week from 11.45 until 20.00 and the pool is also open every day from 11.00 until 19.00.

Boos Beach Club – Biergerkraeiz
Beautifully renovated with an unusual building design that looks like folded origami paper, this place is light and airy, and has a huge terrace area complete with beach feel, making it perfect for an aperatif.
The sandy beach area has wooden rope swings, big enough for a couple of people. Boos opened its official summer season on 15 June this year, and promises DJ nights. The menu (announced 23 June) includes cheese and charcuterie, lobster and anchovy sharing plates, caviar, seafood platters and grilled fish and meat, plus pasta. Boos ask that proper attire is worn.
Lost Beach Club – Bonnevoie
A beach party atmosphere in the heart of Luxembourg next to the Gantebeensmillen with a resident DJ and live music acts, this is the place to go after a hard week of work to kick back, but at weekends if you want to party, and it can get quite crowded. Open Friday 16.00 to 22.00 and weekends 11.00 to 22.00. The beach area is actually grass and woodchip, and dancing is the order of the day, you can check out a full list of events here, or on their Facebook page.
Wikki beach – Esch-sur-Alzette
Another party beach atmosphere, with deck chairs, palm trees, a sandy beach floor and even a small pool (for cooling off rather than swimming). There’s a Latin feel to some of their beach nights and plenty of DJs taking to the turntables, so expect it to get busy. You can check out their jam-packed agenda of events for summer here. Open Friday to Sunday from the late afternoon until just before midnight.
