But this hotel is much more than a good time in a great location. Built with a sustainability focus, the resort has implemented smart systems and energy efficiency measures such as solar panels and water-saving and recycling systems, and it is a LEED Platinum certified Green building.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- Designed with a palette of cream and ivory with pops of blue, the spacious rooms and suites have floor-to-ceiling windows with fantastic views of the Arabian Sea and Ain Dubai. Private balconies feature sun loungers and seating to appreciate the views. Marble bathrooms come with twin vanities, bathtubs and separate showers.
- While the poolside rooms and suites overlook the Dubai hotel’s main pool, some special units have their own plunge pools on private terraces. But for the ultimate relaxation, book the Luxe Spa Loft to kick back and unwind in your private hot tub and sauna or the Luxe Spa Suite, which has its own private steam room. With expansive living and dining areas and a dance floor with a DJ booth, LED screen, and speakers, the lavish 2,927-square-foot Encore Suite is perfect for birthday celebrations or bachelorette parties.
- At ReFIVE Spa, treat yourself to a 90-minute ReFIVE Elements massage, which harnesses the healing power of salts and crystals to relieve stress from a quartz bed, or a 90-minute Bamboo OTO Massage that rejuvenates the body using CBD body oil infused with grapefruit, juniper berry and bitter orange essential oils. To leave feeling brand new, try a 60-minute Moroccan hammam that involves thorough exfoliation using a black soap and kessa scrub, a detoxifying rhassoul clay mask, steam and stretching techniques. Afterward, relax in the tranquil indoor spa pool.
- Work on your tan poolside or groove to pumping beats at the glamorous pool and beach club Playa Pacha. The Ibiza-spirited venue hosts legendary international artists and DJs and high-energy pool parties and events throughout the week.
- At Japanese fine-dining restaurant Ronin, admire the bold irezumi tattoo-influenced interiors with hand-painted samurais and folklore motifs, whet your appetite with live teppanyaki shows, watch chefs in action at the sushi bar and feast on signature dishes from the chef’s omakase menu.
- For delicious tapas and a taste of top cocktails by famous mixologist Giacomo Giannotti, head to Paradiso. The Dubai outpost of the legendary Barcelona bar offers fantastic views and a vibrant ambience inspired by magical surrealism.
Things to Know
