As lockdown measures are slowly being lifted, UAE residents are now able to move freely between emirates.
Since international travel is currently out of the question, many will be looking closer to home for a getaway – us included.
So, we’ve taken the liberty to round up some staycations in the UAE. Of course, you need to ensure all precautionary measures are taken, as do establishments. If you’re thinking about a potential staycation getaway, ensure you book ahead of time.
One&Only The Palm
Treat yourself with a luxury staycation at the One&Only The Palm. Soak up the sun with access to your own private pool by booking a junior suite with a pool, or if there’s a small group of you opt for a two bedroom beachfront villa. Prices start from Dhs3,060.
