ultimate luxury in dubai
With a stunning selection of golden beaches and glorious Middle Eastern sunshine, Dubai is one of the premier holiday destinations in the United Arab Emirates and is the perfect choice for those looking for a glamorous and lavish beach holiday in a vibrant and visually stunning city. Whether you’re looking for last-minute luxury holidays to cure those winter blues or an all-inclusive family trip, this world-famous city will tick all of your boxes and more.
DAZZLING LIGHTS AND GLORIOUS BEACHES
Dubai’s most lavish hotels consistently set the bar for the rest of the world to emulate with their over-the-top interiors and fantastic facilities. Take your pick between palatial resorts on affluent manmade islands like Palm Jumeirah or city hotels with views of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower.
Many of Dubai’s beach hotels can be found along Jumeirah Beach, including the wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and the distinctive sail-shaped figure of the Burj Al-Arab Jumeirah – one of the most “Instagrammed” hotels in the world.
The Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island built in the shape of a palm tree, where each frond is laced with private beaches for each luxury hotel and resort. There are fantastic beach resorts on Palm Jumeirah Island, which include family showstopper resort, Atlantis the Palm, and its Aquaventure Waterpark which hotel guests get unlimited access to.
If you want to get your heart pumping, spend a day kitesurfing, jet-skiing and banana-boating on Dubai’s beaches. Take the kids to one of the fabulous water parks or indoor theme parks, or head into the desert on a dune-bashing safari drive.
Whether you’ve had a busy or relaxing day, spend your evening sipping cocktails in a rooftop bar and tuck into a delicious meal at one of Dubai’s Michelin-starred restaurants.
Of course no Dubai holiday is complete without a spot of shopping; whether in the world’s largest shopping mall – the Dubai Mall – which also features an aquarium, opera house, cinema and Olympic sized ice rink; or bartering for souvenirs in one of the many souks.
If you want to extend your Dubai trip, why not visit Abu Dhabi? The capital of the UAE is just a 90-minute drive away. Or enjoy a Dubai multi-centre holiday when you stop off on your way to the Maldives, Sri Lanka or Mauritius.
