Luxury Hotels Galore

If you prefer to infuse luxury and culture, head over to the Al Maha Resort, which has been described as a luxury desert hotel nestled among the lush palm groves. Staying here will give you the chance to wake up to views of the sand dunes and the splendid Desert Conservation Reserve. Immerse yourself and take a horse or camel ride or simply walk along the desert. To spice things up, join a desert safari if you’re feeling audacious. With archery and falconry activities available, Al Maha Resort might just be the perfect place to experience it all!

An elegant and sophisticated hotel, celebrate your wedding, anniversary or special occasion in this award-winning resort. With excellent dining options, luxurious spa facilities, and only the best Armani hospitality, this hotel will undoubtedly leave you with lifelong memories.

For those of you looking to bask in the views of the sea and sand every morning, Mandarin Oriental is a perfect choice. Not only is this one of the newest luxury hotels in Dubai, but it is also located strategically, as it sits on the Jumeirah beach and is close to downtown if you prefer a change of scenery. Designed tastefully, the Mandarin Oriental provides visitors with a remarkable view of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai’s breathtaking skyline. Every room’s interior décor can be easily defined as the height of designer chic, which comes equipped with private balconies and a sleek interior. 

Shop & Dine in Style

Those of you looking to shop will not be disappointed. Dubai is a retail heaven and is home to some of the most high-end brands in the world. From Jimmy Choo to Manolo Blahnik and Gucci to Valentino, spend a day or two doing some luxury shopping. With an hour in between for lunch, head over to some of the finest restaurants in the city, where you can sample fresh seafood and delicious cuts of wagyu beef. 

Head over to At.mosphere, which is a deluxe fine dining restaurant located on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa. Whatever the occasion, take your seat amongst the clouds as you dine high above the grounds of the city. The award-winning restaurant offers fresh oysters and wagyu beef, which have all been prepared for you using the best ingredients. 

To sample some of the city’s finest seafood, be sure to visit Moana Seafood Restaurant. Located on its own little island on The Palm, the restaurant is part of Sofitel Hotels and Resorts. Serving a fusion of the finest Japanese and Peruvian cuisine, here you can sample sashimi and freshly prepared sushi. For the ultimate dining experience, we recommend trying the Sashimi Nigiri & Maki Platter, which allows you to sample a variety of the finest seafood.

For mains, we recommend Grilled Tiger Prawns or Norwegian Salmon. Last but not least, be sure to try the Chocolate Tacos, which consist of Yuzu whipped ganache, strawberry compote and caramelised lemon rind.
