Beirut’s Iconic
Seaside Escape
Saltwater pools, sunlit terraces, and uninterrupted views of Raouché, all in the heart of the city.
Your everyday seaside retreat
The same family, the same sea, since 1953.
Generations have gathered here to swim, unwind, and share the day by the Mediterranean — three saltwater pools cut into the rock, the open sea, and kitchens that have fed Beirut for decades. In a world of bright lights and grand designs, Sporting stays intentionally simple: the place you keep coming back to.
Your day by the sea
Explore the club
Swimming, dining, activities, and evenings above the water — all on the same Ras Beirut shoreline.
Since 1953
A Beirut landmark, three generations on.
Founded in 1953 by George Abou Nassar and run by the same family ever since, Sporting has stayed open through everything Beirut has seen — five generations of members on the same shoreline.
Plan your visit
Come for the day, or for the season.
Open year-round on the Ras Beirut coastline. Day passes for a day by the sea, memberships for the summer or the full year.

Sporting Club is one of Beirut's classic seaside places. The view is amazing, the vibes are relaxed, and the service is good. Always a nice place to spend time.

Amazing beach club from the 50s. The best in Beirut. Great views, simple aesthetics, very calm and no music. Food is good and the service is great.
