Indulge in Dubai

Jane's verdict

‘Over the top’ might be a phrase used to describe Dubai. If you’re looking for a glitzy honeymoon with top cuisine, shopping and nightlife plus plenty of sunshine despite being on the cusp of short-haul, this is the place to come. Combine city pampering at the One&Only Royal Mirage with luxury Bedouin-style nights at the Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa. A class double act.

Dubai offers such a huge range of hotels and resorts, to say nothing of the vast and glittering shopping centres, entertainment centres and water parks. It can be bewildering to find the right choice for a honeymoon.

If you are looking for something really special with a large dose of five star plus pampering, we think we have the answer – The Palace at One&Only Royal Mirage.

This is a simply stunning deluxe hotel, located directly on Jumeirah Beach, and it’s only a 30 minute drive from the airport. The feel is of ancient Arabian grandeur coupled with state of the art 21st century luxury.

The spacious rooms and suites are nothing short of sumptuous, each with a large balcony or garden terrace.

You will no doubt want to explore some of Dubai’s renowned restaurants outside of the hotel but if you can’t tear yourselves away, there’s a choice of three dining experiences within the Palace – Moroccan, Arabian-fusion and Mediterranean. Discover authentic regional delicacies in the Oriental Cafe.

There are stunning pools throughout the grounds and the hotel has a private beach and water sports centre. The traditional Oriental Hammam and Givenchy Spa offer the opportunity for some serious relaxation and pampering.

Our travel consultants will be happy to arrange a two-centre stay in Dubai – a few nights at the Bedouin-style Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa, for example, is something very special and a complete contrast from the more cosmopolitan metropolis.
