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.
Anantara The Palm
Moving to the other side of The Palm, we have Anantara which brings the paradise of Thailand to Dubai. Why not book a two bedroom beach pool villa for a getaway with a small group of friends? Prices start from Dhs4,326.
Five Jumeirah Village

If you feel like a change of scenery from Dubai, then Al Maha is the perfect place. Just a 45-minute drive from Dubai, this desert stay is nothing short of luxury, with suites coming with their own private plunge pools. Prices start from Dhs3,752.
The Oberoi Beach Resort Al Zorah
If you’re still keen to get away from Dubai, but want to be near the coast then the Oberoi Beach Resort Al Zorah in Ajman is the place to do so, especially if you’re a couple looking for a romantic getaway.
