Luxury hotels in Dubai? The offer is so extended when you travel to Dubai that you will be surprised. Dubai is home to some of the most exclusive luxury hotels in the world. So I am pretty sure that you will not be disppointed in the amazing offer.
So I had the pleasure to travel multiple times to Dubai in 2021. Despite the fact this has been a year filled with pandemic issues. I am most happy that at least I did have the opportunity to travel a bit outside of Europe, while in 2020 I wasn’t able to travel at all.
Okay the situation is not back to normal as what we have been used to before. Like flight schedules might change and we need to be flexible but at least we notice already some small improvements.
Let’s hope that 2022 will be the year of the revival for tourism. We do notice at lot of interest from travelers who are eagerly waiting to go and explore the world again but we will have to wait and see how things will be evolving.
But one thing is for sure, when the travel restrictions will be lifted, the sky will not be the limit for tourism industry.
So I am always happy to be able to inspire you with my travel experiences. So I am happy to share some nice pictures and my personal experiences from a few of the hotels I have visited on my most recent trip to Dubai.
Jumeirah Beach hotel
When it comes to iconic hotels we have to admit that Dubai has a few. This hotel is on the list of luxury hotels in Dubai. But his hotel with the typical form of a wave is already one of the most iconic hotels in Dubai since decades. When I visited the hotel, it had just had an interior makeover.
The nice thing is that this luxury hotel has its own private beach. And when it comes to dining options you won’t have any problem in finding inspiration since you have more than 10 restaurants and bars to spend your free time. For those who are in love of the water you will have at least 5 swimming pools to choose from but also during your stay you get free and unlimited access to the Wild Wadi Waterpark. Prepare for a thrill.
Of course you won’t have any time to get bored and also the hotels have a nice shopping arcade. But when you stay here do go for a drink in the lounge at the roof and enjoy your amazing skyline you get for free.
And the Souk Madinat Jumeirah is only a 10 minutes’ walk away. In the Souk you will find some very nice restaurants and shops. So even if you want to have a different atmosphere you don’t even have to travel to the other side of town to get it.
Burj Al Arab
Well what can I say about the Burj Al Arab, this 7*star hotel really has it all. It has been for a very long time on my list to visit. But I was really happy that I finally was able to make after all those times.
And despite the fact that the Burj Al Arab has been constructed in 1994 the hotels haven’t lost any of it’s grandeur as it always had. So this is really something which add up to the experience during your say.
Of course the view you have when you stay in this hotel is in one word amazing. And the entrance hall is one become splendid. Of course the interior of the rooms which are all suites has its very own style and you will probably like it or you don’t. It’s as simple as that.
There is no lack of architectural innovation in the most iconic hotel of Dubai. When you think about the unique man-made beach and the infinity pool terrace or one of the tallest grand atrium at 180 meters high.
Dining options are numerous at Burj Al Arab. From Sal, a chic beach pop-up restaurant to Al Muntaha, fine French cuisine with panoramic views on Dubai and the Arabian Gulf or go for an exquisite afternoon tea experience or indulgence the magnificent views from the Skyview Bar & restaurant on the 27 th Floor .

Jumeirah Al Qasr
A few years back I already had the pleasure to stay at the Jumeirah Mina A’Salam which was a very pleasant stay. The Madinat Jumeirah is actually a combination of several hotels with each their own identity and style. The concept feels like a city on its own. As you will find several hotels, restaurants, swimming pools and facilities. And the nice thing is you can enjoy all of them when you stay in one of the hotels. Next to that you can also benefit from the complimentary access to Wild Wadi.
So the Madinat Jumeirah has its own private beach of 2 km and throughout the resort you can use the abra which will take you on the canals or you can just take a buggy. Especially during summer when temperatures are quite high in Dubai this is a very nice way to go from one side to another side.
