Beach it out

Sometimes a relaxing day by the beachside is needed. After all, at least one of your vacation days should be spent unwinding, so step out of our hotel and prepare for a day of some fun in the sun!

Brunch and dine

Dubai is the ultimate destination for true food enthusiasts. Foodies can embark on a sensory journey as they taste their way through the city. 

Explore venues like Curry House, a restaurant serving up sumptuous Indian, Chinese and Mexican cuisine. From its traditional-meets-modern decor to the refreshing mocktails on offer, it’s a must-try when in Bur Dubai. Looking for a taste of Japan? Look no further than Armani/Hashi, a classy yet comfortable Asian restaurant that offers a spectacular variety of Japanese cuisine served by their skilled chefs. Plus, the views of the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa are just breathtaking!

If a trendy restaurant is more your vibe, venture to Frevo and discovers Brazil on the beach. Tuck into a churrascaria meal or savour the lamb rack as you sit on the outside terrace and soak up the Marina skyline and pulsating live music.

For a crowd-pleasing mix of modernity coupled with old Dubai, head down to Bastakiah Nights, quietly tucked away in the Al Fahidi Neighbourhood. Here is where you’ll get to try authentic Middle Eastern cuisine and enjoy the Arabian decor. Tip: try their kebab platter and hummus for a flavour explosion that will delight your taste buds!

Last on our recommendation list is Manna Land, offering you a true Korean dining experience.
