Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach

Nestled next to the treasure cove of opulence that is Palm Jumeirah and sitting on the sought-after strip The Walk, this five-star Dubai hotel is a retreat for the elite. With six restaurants and bars, a sprawling resort pool and a state-of-the-art wellness centre – all just steps from the cobalt waters of the Arabian Gulf – every moment is steeped with splendour.

Rise and shine to buffet breakfast at The Talk Restaurant, featuring live cooking stations, before uncovering Dubai’s mega malls, cutting-edge skyscrapers or lively marina precinct. The enviable lifestyle continues to dinner at New York-inspired Soul restaurant, where elevated dining meets uber-chic ambience.
