Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah, Dubai

Only steps away, the Palm West Beach promenade will delight with water sports, an unbelievably blue ocean and a seemingly endless stretch of silky white sands – a beach day is a must. If you’re looking to explore the city, whizz down Sheikh Zayed Road and make your way to the bustling downtown area and Burj Khalifa, where you can spend hours shopping in high-end boutiques or mingling with locals at the vibrant souks. Return after busy days exploring and plunge into the mirage-like pool or treat your senses to a well-deserved treatment at Saray Spa. As day turns to night, take to the trendy bars for a cocktail and a boogie before retreating to the world-class rooms that await.
