Classic Cabana
Description
Our classic beach cabana is easy to set-up all by yourself, with no confusing steps to follow. Impress other beachgoers with the unique arched design that doesn’t block the sea view & allows for maximum ventilation and air flow.
Designed to fit in a carry-on suitcase for travel, you’ll love how compact & portable a Suniela cabana is. Bring your shade anywhere, pop it in the bike basket, sling it over your shoulder, or stick it in the bottom of the baby stroller. At under 4 lbs/1.7 kg it won’t weigh you down either. Your hands are full already!
Despite its compact size when packed, Suniela gives a generous area of shade, enough for a family of 4 to relax in comfort… With room for the cooler too! (And your fur baby! Dog’s LOVE Suniela shade)
When the wind picks up, simply slide the canopy to either side - to block blowing sand and for extra stability. No more being a slave to the beach umbrella, holding it down on windy days while the kids have all the fun.
The sliding canopy is perfect for following the sun as it moves through the sky, so you can relax all day in cool comfort!
Arched design with 4 anchor points make Suniela incredibly wind resistant.
Like all Suniela products, we use high quality, long lasting materials. Our pole systems are made with aircraft grade anodized aluminum. In other words - super strong, rust resistant poles that won’t shatter or break in high winds.
Perhaps the best thing about Suniela shade? It’s perfect for the backyard too! Over the kid’s sandbox, wading pool, at the dog park.. and the perfect setup for picnics in nature.
With open sides for cool ventilation, you’ll love how good it feels to sit beneath a Suniela. Plus, it doesn’t block the view for those around you!

Our unique arched design is naturally wind resistant, while the highly flexible aluminum poles anchor the cabana & prevent it from blowing away. No trippy tie lines or sand bags needed!

Aluminum is incredibly durable - and infinitely recyclable! - making it the most sustainable choice for outdoor shelters.

- Deluxe Cabanas are printed with artist-designed patterns on both sides, and are trimmed with fringes that sway in the breeze
- 'Turquoise Suniela' is printed with our logo & doesn't have fringes. You might ask - why our giant logo plastered on the sides? Well, the downside to being a Suniela trendsetter is that SO many people are going to ask you about your cabana while you're trying to relax on the beach! The logo model is for introverts who want to relax in peace.

What colour canopy is best for sun protection?
While colour can have an impact on UV rating (generally the darker the better!) - all Suniela shade canopies have been rated UPF 50+, the highest possible score for sun protecting fabrics.
We're proud to have achieved such amazing testing results without adding any UV chemicals to our canopies. Instead, we use a natural cotton with a fine weave, and eco dyes to achieve our UV resistance.
Here's a breakdown of how our different colours have tested, keep in mind that UPF 50+ is the highest rating given and is considered the ultimate for sun protection.
Sand: UPF 70
Dijon: UPF 137
Turquoise Suniela: UPF 109
Tribal Jungle: UPF 148
Tortoise Shell: UPF 130
Ocean Waves: UPF 243

Why is cotton better than synthetic?
Have you ever woken up in a tent in the sun? Synthetic fabrics AMPLIFY the heat of the sun instead of blocking it. Our natural cotton canopies don't just block harmful UVA & UVB rays - they block the heat too!
Synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon are made from a toxic chemical soup; they are non-biodegradable; they shed microplastics; and contain VOCS which we breathe in. They can off-gas these chemicals for years.
Both nylon and polyester also shed microplastics. These microplastics leach into the soil and water and have now been found everywhere, including inside of us and in our food chain as well.
We've spent years refining the perfect cotton fabric for natural sun protection & we're so proud of achieving the highest UPF rating possible without the use of added chemicals!
