Over the weekend, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai visited a luxury resort in the city, and now we know exactly where to spend the upcoming four-day break.
You may have already checked out our Eid staycations edit but if you’re looking for another special spot to unwind like a Dubai royal, then the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira ticks many of the boxes.
Let’s kick off with the fact that this weekend the beachfront resort is offering 15 per cent off their Best Available Rate for all nationals and residents of the UAE. With it being one the newest hotels in the city, all the 256 rooms and suites feel fresh and shiny (wait till you see the marble bathrooms) with many offering stunning views of the blue waters.
In addition, it is home to some of the top restaurants in the city like Tasca from Michelin-starred Portuguese chef Jose Avillez – ideal for dinner. No stay is complete without a visit to the spa that offers some of the best treatments including a vitamin boost therapy courtesy of the neighbouring The Elixir Clinic. Make sure to arrive early for your treatment to take full advantage of whirlpools, saunas and steam rooms.
On Friday we suggest booking in for Netsu brunch that is serving up some the best Japanese food in town including tiger prawns, lobster ceviche, grilled baby chicken and unique warayaki-style creations (dishes cooked on a straw fire grill) while the DJ brings an upbeat vibe to your weekend. Post-brunch you can chill at one of the five pools or walk it off on the pristine beach.
Stringent health and safety measures are in place to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for guests, at all times.
