Arabia Dubai

Fall in love with Dubai as you enjoy the spectacular sunsets, take a stroll along pristine white sandy beaches and indulge in the amazing cuisine this spectacular city has to offer. When staying in Dubai, there is certainly no shortage of romantic settings and there has never been a better time to inspire your customers to book. Dubai is home to ideal hotels for couples seeking a luxury retreat while exploring this unique destination. We’ve put together our reasons why you should visit Dubai for a romantic getaway and experiences not to be missed.

Relax and Rejuvenate

A visit to the One&Only Spa at One&Only Royal Mirage is a must. Situated in its own haven within the gardens of the resort, The One&Only Spa offers 12 exclusive treatment suites, hammam, steam rooms, saunas and plunge pools. Taking on three different approaches - unwind, restore and elevate - experienced therapists will find the relevant treatments to meet each guest’s individual needs to allow for ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation.

Experience the Diversity of Dubai

Year-round glorious sunshine, warm inviting Arabian Gulf waters and a majestic desert tell only one side of the story, as beyond the hotels and resorts, there are endless opportunities to experience the diversity of this unique city. Dubai has everything from exciting four-wheel drives in the desert, to romantic moonlit cruises along the Creek while the malls offer hours of retail therapy where you can find the perfect gift for your loved one.

Soak up the sun at Cloud 22

For an exclusive day out high above Palm Jumeirah, visit Atlantis The Royal. This breaktaking hotel is home to the magnificent Cloud 22 skypool, open to visitors as well as hotel guests. Feel like you’ve got your head in the clouds as you take in the views from this sky pool in style as you sip on a refreshment, enjoy the Dubai sun and relax on the sunloungers surrounded by the infinity pool.

Stroll through Dubai Miracle Garden

Flowers symbolise romance, and with over 150 million blooms, Dubai Miracle Garden offers the perfect setting for a romantic stroll away from the bright city lights. The world’s largest natural flower garden, this is undoubtedly one of the most colourful places in the city. Soak in the floral scent and look out for the bright sunflower field, the lake park and the umbrella tunnel. Emirates Airline have teamed up with Dubai Miracle Garden to construct the world’s largest floral installation through a life-size version of the Emirates A380, covered in more than 500,000 fresh flowers and living plants – an impressive sight which has become a favourite spot amongst visitors.

The Ultimate Stopover Destination

Conveniently located with endless activities and attractions, Dubai is the ideal twin-centre destination. Two thirds of the world’s population are located within an eight-hour flight to Dubai, so if you are looking to fly across the world, Dubai is a growing destination for stopover holidays and one of the best travel and connecting hubs.

Not only is Dubai the ideal holiday destination, it is also perfect for a pre or post-cruise stay. Travel on an authentic Arabian adventure as you explore this breathtaking city, combined with your cruise voyage as each day offers new experiences.

Fall in love with Dubai whether you are looking to spend time in this fabulous city as the main part of your holiday or to stopover whilst on a trip across the world to other idyllic locations such as Bali, the Maldives, Mauritius, the list is endless. Turn your journey into a mini-holiday as you can soak up the culture, visit the beautiful beaches, see iconic landmarks, explore high-end shopping malls, witness record-breaking attractions and have a taste of the vibrant cuisine on an unforgettable escape to Dubai.
