9. Stay at the InterContinental, Abu Dhabi and make a dent in your cultural bucket list
Located in the centre of Abu Dhabi, just a stone’s throw from the Corniche AND with it’s own private beach, this hotel has the best of both worlds.

You will really feel like you’ve left the city at this beaut Thai-esque hotel with private water villas, pool-bars and beautiful lakes running througout.
7. For ultimate privacy, escape to the Qasr Al Sarab

6. Take glamping to a whole new level at the Ritz-Carlton, Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert

Your private villa comes with pool and an unbeatable endless view of the Ras Al Khaimah desert while the unique desert activities (there are sunrise and sunset camel rides, falcon experiences, horse trekking and more all available privately on a near-empty scenic trail).
5. Go to Paris (without really going to Paris) at the St Regis Dubai, Al Habtoor City
Can’t make Paris? St Regis in Habtoor City is the next best thing.
The huge sweeping marble staircase is old-school glam, and it sets the tone for the rest of the hotel. Arrive early, take high tea in the typically Parisienne Sidra Lounge where a pianist adds to the rose-mantic mood followed by bubbles in the Champagne Lounge and dinner at JG Steakhouse.
If you’re a terrible planner, this hotel does the hard work for you.
4. Break the bank with the outrageous Fairmont Dubai deal

This spot opened its doors just last year and already it’s marking a mark on the hotel industry in Dubai.
The luxury hotel has a modern Arabian feel and sits right beneath the Burj Al Arab. It’s got a private beach and restaurants that have come into their own and are well worth a visit (Katsuya by Starck for Japanese fine-dining, Black Tap for the most ‘grammable shakes that ever were and Rock Fish for a casual seafood meal you won’t forget).
1. The dreamy One & Only Mirage for a magical stay you’ll never forget
Hitting headlines recently for being the hotel of choice for the Manchester United football team, a more beautiful hotel is hard to find. Set on 65 acres of lush garden and one km of private beach, AND only minutes from Dubai Marina, words don’t do this dreamy spot justice.
