ATLANTIS THE PALM, DUBAI

A world away from your everyday! Atlantis, The Palm – Dubai’s most iconic resort – has just celebrated its 10th birthday with new experiences designed to create ever-lasting memories. Adding to its collection of restaurants and bars, Hakkasan serves up authentic Cantonese cuisine – be sure to try the signature Peking duck! – while the soon-to-be-opened Wavehouse mixes drinking, dining and entertainment with a four-lane bowling alley and state-of-the-art wave machine. But some things remain the same: every single guest gets free unlimited entry to The Lost Chambers Aquarium – home to 65,000 marine animals – as well as unlimited complimentary access to Aquaventure Waterpark for hours and hours of fantastic fun in the swimming pools, lazy river and thrilling water rides.

Besides the sands of a private stretch of Jumeirah Beach with expansive lush grounds where palm trees provide shade over six swimming pools, The Ritz-Carlton Dubai is an oasis-like retreat made for luxury-seekers. Right on trendy JBR Walk, you’ll find beach, dining, relaxation and shopping all in one elegant resort with one of the best locations in the city. While we absolutely love the spacious rooms and suites with their oversized marble bathrooms, private balconies and next-level comfortable beds, our favourite thing is the exclusive Club Lounge with its five food presentations throughout the day from a full American breakfast to afternoon tea – Mondays feature an authentic Lebanese mezze – and unlimited premium alcoholic beverages.

5 nights half Board from £979pp

THE RITz-CARLTON DUBAI

Away from the crowds on the eastern crescent of the Palm Jumeirah, Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort is Asian-inspired luxury in the Middle East. There’s a hint of the exotic with brightly painted tuk tuks whizzing round, market-style boats delivering cool towels and fresh fruit to swimmers and a traditional longtail boat to take you by water to Dubai Marina. Beneath the pagoda-style roofs is a unique collection of rooms and villas: will you say ‘yes’ to an over-water retreat – the only ones in the entire UAE – or pick direct lagoon access for cooling dips whenever you like? No matter where you stay, we recommend the Fork & Cork Friday brunch and afternoons at the Anantara Spa.

5 nights half Board from £819pp

ANANTARA THE PALM DUBAI RESORT

Why pick the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah for your next holiday? We think an unbeatable location on a golden stretch of sand, more than 50 treatments at the award-winning spa and an excellent selection of six dining venues including a three Michelin-star Italian restaurant are reason enough! But if you need further encouragement, we really love that there’s plenty of choice when it comes to the superbly spacious rooms and suites – each has a large balcony with stunning evening views over the city skyline – and that there are always plenty of loungers and cabanas beside the two swimming pools, where attentive staff bring round ice towels to help you cool off beneath the Middle Eastern sunshine.

It’s back! Following a dramatic and dynamic transformation, the instantly recognisable wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel has re-opened its doors and is as popular as ever. The brand-new look is fresh and modern with light-filled spaces and fully renovated rooms and suites inspired by the ocean. But rest assured, all the things that make this one of our favourite Dubai properties remain the same: iconic views of the Arabian Gulf, dining at up to 60 restaurants and bars as part of the excellent Half Board dine-around plan – we recommend Uptown Bar on the 24th floor for Instgram-worthy sundowners – and fantastically family-friendly facilities including unlimited complimentary access to Wild Wadi Waterpark™ for every single guest.

5 nights half Board from £1,229pp

JUMEIRAH BEACH HOTEL, DUBAI JUMEIRAH zABEEL SARAY, DUBAI

Experience the very best of luxury escapism at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray. An exclusive location on the western crescent of the Palm Jumeirah and inspired by the palaces of the Ottoman Empire, opulence and grandeur are found in equal measure with glittering chandeliers, hand-painted murals and plenty of marble. With its palm-lined infinity pool overlooking the Arabian Gulf, al fresco dining options in every one of the nine restaurant and nightlife venues and a collection of spacious rooms, suites and residences, this elegant resort is made for leisure-seekers. Our favourite thing? The award-winning Talise Ottoman Spa – the largest in the Middle East – with its authentic Turkish Hammam, steam, sauna, snow rooms and two thalassotherapy pools.

JUMEIRAH DAR AL MASYAF, DUBAI

Nestled between scenic waterways, meandering paths and leafy gardens, Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf is the ultimate tranquil retreat within the sprawling Madinat Jumeirah Resort. With its collection of two-storey buildings inspired by traditional Arabian summer houses – think intricate detailing, hanging lanterns and cooling tiles – and a shared courtyard where personal butlers serve complimentary drinks and nibbles during the sunset hour, this intimate hideaway feels seriously indulgent. But what keeps us coming back for more is the fact that everything you need, from dining at 60 restaurants, bars and lounges to complimentary access to Wild Wadi Waterpark™ and the award-winning Talise Spa are just a short walk – or abra ride – away.

FOUR SEASONS RESORT DUBAI AT JUMEIRAH BEACH

With the Arabian Gulf on one side and city skyline on the other, Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach – the closest beach resort to Downtown Dubai – offers an unrivalled location.

On golden sands overlooking the Arabian Gulf, the exceptionally family-friendly JA Beach Hotel delivers idyllic beachside holidaying. Contemporary rooms come with sea or lush resort views – which will you pick? – branded bath products and a JA rubber duck, a fun addition when travelling with little ones. There are endless land and sea activities from horse riding to two superb kids’ and teens’ clubs and extensive dining choices as part of the Ultra All Inclusive package – we love the floating DiVAZ restaurant set within the hotel’s private marina. Want to explore beyond the palm-studded gardens? There’s a complimentary daily shuttle service to Dubai’s biggest shopping malls, as well as Dubai Parks and Resorts.

5 nights all Inclusive from £999pp

RIXOS THE PALM, DUBAI

On the very tip of the Palm Jumeirah’s eastern crescent, Rixos the Palm has some of the best views of Dubai’s skyline. Effortlessly family-friendly, the fabulous Rixy Kids Club comes with a dedicated swimming pool, play area and full schedule of activities. We love the golden sands of the private beach and the fact that it’s the only resort on the Palm to offer motorised watersports – plus scuba diving! Staying on Ultra All Inclusive is a must for anyone looking for affordable luxury: you’ll have limitless culinary delights at the all-day buffet, Italian and seafood restaurants, a selection of more than 70 beverages to choose from and a complimentary minibar refilled once a day.

PARK HYATT ABU DHABI HOTEL AND VILLAS

Standing at the gateway into Abu Dhabi with a remarkable blue-glass exterior is the iconic Fairmont Bab Al Bahr. Blending Arabic and Islamic architecture with contemporary style and impeccable service, this hotel was built to impress. Water babies will love the Olympic-sized beachfront swimming pool, Jacuzzi and pristine private beach, shopping enthusiasts will be spoiled for choice at the nearby Yas Mall – the newest addition for retail therapy – and families will delight in the dedicated family pool area and neighbouring theme park! And dinner at the Marco Pierre White restaurant – a former three Michelin-star chef – will be the cherry on top of your already luxurious stay!

5 nights half Board from £699pp

FAIRMONT BAB AL BAHR, ABU DHABI

The first ‘All Inclusive, All Exclusive’ concept to grace the shores of Saadiyat Island, this fully-integrated resort has absolutely everything you need in one place. Inside its palatial interior, rooms are more than a little luxurious with marble floors, mosaic tiles and bold colours bringing a ‘pop’ to whichever option you decide to stay in. But lavish rooms aside, the hotel’s pride and joy is surely the palm-studded beachfront with its exclusive beach club – plus the 2,060m2 Turkish-inspired spa, host of buffet and à la carte dining options, wave pool and Aqua Park just-for-kids thrown in for good measure. From pool games and live shows to Rixy discos, cooking classes and magic shows, the entertainment options are endless!

5 nights all Inclusive from £969pp

RIXOS SAADIYAT ISLAND, ABU DHABI

A gorgeous stretch of flawless beach, undulating fairway views and one of the emirate’s largest pools make up Abu Dhabi’s hottest new beach destination, the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas. Close to Yas Island, the Corniche and adjacent to an 18-hole championship golf course, all the best things at this Saadiyat Island sanctuary come in fives – five pools, five miles of protected beach and Camp Hyatt for over fives. There’s a pleasing mix of indoor-outdoor living here with magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies overlooking the Arabian Gulf or – in the case of a villa or beach/garden view suite – a private plunge pool. Holidaying by the sea has never been so glamorous!

JUMEIRAH AT SAADIYAT ISLAND RESORT, ABU DHABI

A brand-new luxury beachfront resort, Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort delivers refined island life at its very best. With a prime spot on 400-metres of protected dunes – keep your eyes peeled for Hawksbill turtles and dolphins! – you’ll find understated luxury, bright and airy spaces and a collection of suites and pool villas all with subtle marine-themed touches. Aside from the three infinity pools, spa built around a Moroccan hammam and home-style coastal Italian dishes at the poolside Mare Mare restaurant, we love that this is a resort with a conscience, doing away with plastic straws and single use plastic, providing every single guest with reusable bottles that can be refilled at water stations around the property.

5 nights half Board from £799pp

SAADIYAT ROTANA RESORT & VILLAS, ABU DHABIWith an exclusive beachfront address, the newly opened Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas makes a statement on the island’s pristine sands. Exuding a casual elegance overlooking the Arabian Gulf, its design is fresh and modern with light-filled spaces, while the sandstone exterior and high archways hint at traditional Arabian architecture. An outdoor swimming pool, two tennis courts, mini golf course and the Aladdin’s Cave for little ones – complete with lazy river, splash pool and cinema zone – are sure to keep the whole family entertained and engaged. But what’s a resort without a go-to spot in the evenings? Our pick is The Roof Bar @ Turtle Bay for cocktails and sunset views.

SHANGRI-LA BARR AL JISSAH RESORT & SPA AL BANDAR, OMAN

THE CHEDI MUSCAT, OMAN

There’s a lively atmosphere to Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa Al Bandar, tucked between the dramatic Hajar Mountains and the turquoise waters of the Sea of Oman. At the very centre of this beach resort complex – right next door to the family-friendly Al Waha – you’ll find so much to do, whether floating down the Lazy River linking the two properties, heading out on a complimentary glass-bottomed kayak or simply soaking up the stunning views from your Omani-inspired room or suite. We think that the rooftop B.A.B bar is the best place for pre-dinner drinks or late-night cocktails and love sitting down to eat authentic Arabian dishes at Al Tanoor.

5 nights Bed & Breakfast from £999pp

As a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, it’s easy to guess what the level of service at Oman’s first contemporary hotel is like. The beautiful Omani influenced rooms and villas, stylish and symmetrical Zen gardens and majestic mountain backdrop are obvious attractions to guests. We love that The Chedi Muscat never feels crowded – the 370 metre private beach, 103 metre palm-lined Long Pool and thirteen suite spa provide plenty of room for well-spaced R&R. Dine barefoot under the starry Arabian sky, soak up the local culture with a private city tour or indulge in a two and a half hour Chedi Oriental Ritual.

Near the Turkish village of Göcek and tucked between Fethiye town and the ruins of Kaunos, sits D-Resort Göcek. Dreamy landscape views, luxury facilities, a yacht-filled marina and stunning stretch of manmade beach set the scene for your stay at this upmarket Turkish retreat. Seclusion and serenity – the key ingredients here – are carried throughout the resort from the minimalist-yet-chic rooms to the fantastic restaurants and bars. After lazing on deluxe sun loungers beside the pool, exploring the local village and surrounding gardens by bicycle (complimentary, of course!) and island hopping aboard the resort’s speedboat we think you’ll be heading straight to the traditional Turkish hammam to unwind.
