The emirate of Dubai lies on the western shores of the Gulf in the Middle East and spreads out from the beautiful warm waters of the gulf across a flat plateau, strewn with sand dune deserts. It is a modern and dynamic country, it offers a familiar environment for Western travelers, the huge shopping malls are extraordinarily modern and are filled with virtually any product available in the West.
The rapid technical transformation of the city over the past few decades can be accredited to the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed, who is primarily responsible for making Dubai what it is today, a modern highflying city thriving from commercial investments. As a result Dubai is a forward thinking and cosmopolitan city, providing sophisticated infrastructure and facilities.
Dubai has recently exploded onto the map of the world as the most exciting, breaking edge, trendy, chic destination for discerning experienced business and holiday travelers. Tourists are attracted here largely due to the beauty of its fine white sandy beaches and warm waters of the Arabian Sea. It is there that the Dubai beach resort will be found. These large resorts are extravagantly grand architecturally, swathed in beautifully landscaped grounds whose canvas is woven with uniquely designed swimming pools housing their own islands festooned with Palm trees, and some of the longest swim up to poolside bars. The grounds are populated by a plethora of sports and entertainment facilities.
Each resort has been individually designed by world-renowned architects and their interiors are sympathetically created to align themselves with the architects conception. The guests are transported to the entrances of the hotels via chauffeur driven air-conditioned limousine from the airport a mere 30 minutes away. The resorts' lobbies are spacious, open affairs incorporating European and Arabian influences into the design. The resort staff are complete professionals and take a tremendous amount of pride in hosting the guest with flare.
The resorts' accommodations vary tremendously from en suite rooms to Multi suite affairs and individual villas lying within their own small paradise of Arabian tapestry. From the smallest to the largest they are all lavishly decorated, encompassing Middle Eastern accents, providing comfortable seating areas, housing king size beds and twin beds dressed in crisp cottons, rich throws and covers, some so carefully planned to emulate a Bedouin's boudoir.
The multi-room suites offer: foyers, a dining room, lounges, kitchenettes, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the magnificent Arabian Sea. The rooms seamlessly flow onto balconies which offer the perfect place to gaze into the heavily studded starlit night sky. The en suite bathrooms are opulently decorated and every tiny convenience has been thought of, deep luxuriant baths, large walk in showers with rainfall shower heads, vanities, mirrors, complimentary slippers and bathrobes and designer body products.
The individual villas lie in their own private oasis and provide welcoming verandas punctuated by private plunge pools. The accommodations are comfortable and elegant and offer welcome respite from the day's busy adventures.
Each Dubai beach resort is a destination, there is absolutely no reason for the guest to leave its inviting ambience. The resorts provide numerous restaurants in amongst their confines in varying locations, some set on rooftops, some at the heart of the hotel, some around the pools and some even on the edge of the sea, each providing the guests new and exciting horizons on which to gaze.
As many as 20 restaurants may be encompassed within the resort providing scintillating flavours from across the world including: Argentinean, Italian, Asian, Lebanese and Mediterranean. The resorts have taken care to provide casual dining spaces that admirably suit young families and those with a busy schedules, many featuring child friendly menus.
Many of the beach resorts boast their own marinas and naturally provide a huge range of water sports including: scuba diving, windsurfing. You may even charter a yacht for the day, the internationally famous 'wadi waterpark' is on hand and complimentary entry is extended to the resort’s guests at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, an excellent playground particularly for teenagers who thrive on the death-defying waterslides. Whilst on the subject of younger guests, the resorts offer 'kids clubs' which have professional organizers overseeing activities and fun events for their young members, allowing Mum and Dad a chance to relax.
Perhaps the most idyllic way of relaxing is to take advantage of the sophisticated health spas that populate these resorts and indulge in some tailor-made Arabian therapy under the tutelage of skilled therapists who will relax mind, body and soul, whilst still indulging in the breathtaking scenery.
As these resorts are situated close to Dubai’s frenetic business districts, they are also perfectly suited for the business traveler, who will find every form of facility and amenity on hand, as the resorts provide numerous venues allowing for Gala events to smaller confidential meeting spaces. The on-site business coordinators will assist the executive from his arrival with his diary and event for the duration of his stay.
