โจThinking about Arabian sunshine this winter? Hereโs where weโd stayโฆ
Arabia has some of the best luxury hotels in the world - but choosing the right one can make a huge difference to your holiday.
A few we regularly recommend:
โจAtlantis The Royal, Dubai
For serious wow-factor. Incredible restaurants, pools and facilities - this is Dubai turned all the way up.
โจOne&Only Royal Mirage, Dubai
For something more refined. Beautiful gardens, a fantastic beach and a much more understated style of luxury.
โจThe Ritz-Carlton, Dubai
One of our favourites for couples who want a proper beachfront resort, while still being close to everything Dubai has to offer.
โจEmirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi
Grand, elegant and unapologetically luxurious. A destination in its own right.
โจAnantara Mina Al Arab, Ras Al Khaimah
A great alternative to Dubai if you want luxury, space and a more relaxed resort feel.
โจSix Senses Zighy Bay, Oman
For something completely different. Dramatic mountains, a beautiful beach and one of Arabiaโs most special luxury escapes.
And donโt forget - Arabia works brilliantly as a twin-centre too. Combine Dubai or Abu Dhabi with the Maldives, Mauritius, Bali or Thailand, or even pair the desert with the beach in Ras Al Khaimah.
The important bit? There isnโt one โbestโ hotel. Thereโs a best hotel for you.
Thatโs where knowing the hotels and understanding how you like to holiday really matters.
