Dubai – an unusual city
Dubai offers the perfect balance between relaxing on the beach with a cocktail under a palm tree and the ambiance of sophisticated restaurants, a rich cultural scene, and a vibrant nightlife . There are few places in the world where you can sip tea in a desert tent, dine on gilded plates in Michelin-starred restaurants, and browse the latest fashion trends in a futuristic shopping mall, all in the same day.
What is worth visiting in Dubai?
Dubai's markets are worth exploring. The Gold Souk, where you'll find original gold artifacts , is definitely the most popular. Shopping isn't the only attraction for a vacation to futuristic Dubai. The United Arab Emirates also boasts a wealth of hotels where you can truly experience luxury. One of the city's symbols is the so-called Sail, the Burj Al-Arab, the world's most expensive hotel , surrounded by sandy beaches. A must-see is the so-called eighth wonder of the world , the Palm Jumeirah – a fabulous island in the middle of the desert . Exclusive hotels, owned by millionaires and celebrities, have been built here. A vacation in Dubai wouldn't be complete without the extraordinary fountain show and the spectacular La Perle acrobatic performance. For a stroll, head to Dubai Marina – a charming bay with numerous restaurants.
The desert metropolis of the United Emirates , dominated by the world's tallest building, will undoubtedly delight us with its grandeur and splendor, and a holiday in Dubai will make us feel like we are in the land of a thousand and one nights.
Now a few words about accommodation, from my personal perspective as a traveler…
Hotels for demanding people
One&Only Royal Mirage
A class of its own, complete with comfort from the moment you step inside this 65-acre property. Located just a 30-minute drive from Dubai International Airport, this property is the perfect choice for guests seeking Arabian-style luxury . The ever-smiling, helpful, and above all, discreet staff are on hand to assist you during check-in and throughout your stay. Here, your vacation unfolds as planned, and the friendly atmosphere promotes relaxation and enjoyment . A feeling of exclusivity will accompany everyone.
Guests can choose from three sections: the majestic Palace, the oriental Arabian Court, and the intimate The Residence & Spa. They share a sense of elegance, as O&O is a modern Arabian property—rich in Middle Eastern architectural accents , such as arched vaults, grand domes, Bedouin statues, mosaic-lined hallways, and hand-painted ceilings. Each spacious room offers views of the Persian Gulf and a private balcony or patio . Desert colors dominate the interior, complemented by vibrant Arabic accents—custom-made carved wooden furniture and embroidered fabrics. The marble bathroom features toiletries from the renowned Penhaligon's brand.
It's worth mentioning that One & Only Royal Mirage is a veritable green oasis in Dubai . The garden itself covers 26 hectares. The hotel is full of trees, plants, and flowers, and the chirping birds add to the relaxation. The pools nestled among the palm trees provide a sense of privacy. Guests have access to a kilometer-long beach , overlooking Palm Jumeirah and modern skyscrapers. For more active guests, the hotel offers a wide range of water sports, tennis courts, and swimming pools. Guests can relax at the on-site spa and baths. O&O also boasts excellent restaurants and bars . Guests can choose from eight restaurants, each specializing in a different cuisine. The Olives serves delicious Middle Eastern breakfasts, the stylish Eauzone serves Asian fusion dishes, and the Beach Bar & Grill serves fresh seafood and international specialties.
One & Only The Palm
The hotel is built on the last leaf of the artificial island of Palm Jumeirah. The first impression the hotel evokes is one of idyllic tranquility and a sense of exceptional elegance . The interior design utilizes a light and contemporary color palette of silver, crystal, and white. The hotel lobby impresses with its elegant interior, featuring gleaming white fountains, arabesque vaults, and crystal chandeliers reflected in the gleaming floors. Combining exclusive style with the hotel's luxurious location, the concept meets the requirements of the most discerning clients.
The hotel's architecture reflects Moorish influences , perhaps inspired by the Alhambra Palace in Granada. During our visit, we learned that tourists from other Arab countries, including Bahrain, are interested in the hotel's interior design. The beautiful finishes in the lobby and rooms are a great inspiration for their own designs.
Dubai's greatest asset, besides its stunning architecture, luxury cars, and endless shopping, is its impressive pools , with year-round sunshine guaranteed. One and Only The Palm boasts a stunningly beautiful, heated outdoor pool, surrounded by palm trees and luxurious king-size beds, as well as private cabanas. The perfect place for a luxurious vacation of the highest standard – an enclave at the tip of the Western Crescent.
BVLGARI Resort&Residences
The final hotel of our trip to the Emirates. The icing on the cake. Bvlgari Resort Dubai , a private island off the coast of Dubai , brings sophisticated Italian style to the Middle East. With its Mediterranean village charm, the resort exudes the bold Italian style typical of Bvlgari, from its unique design and timeless glamour to its lavish spa and magnificent heritage. A beach club, the first-ever Bvlgari Marina and Yacht Club, and the Little Gems Club for children are just some of the attractions.
We don't have much time at the hotel, and each of us is left with a huge hotel craving. This is a hotel where, despite the beautiful beach and marina, it's a pleasure to linger in the room. It seems like the only place in Dubai that's quiet . At the same time, the skyline is visible from the hotel windows. Situated on an artificial island, it's only about a 20-minute drive from the action. Near and far.
The hotel was created, as the Sales Manager honestly told us, out of a passion for development and as a showroom for the Bvlgari brand. Upon arrival, we enter an elegant lobby in dark, shimmering colors . The hotel focuses on beauty in its broadest sense. The flowers in the vases and the shapes of the furniture are both beautiful. The appearance of the staff is also deliberate. The rooms are spacious (the smallest is approximately 50 square meters) and warm, equipped with the latest technology and the brand's latest fragrances. A convenient walk-in wardrobe and an old-school bar —the designer's hand is evident—in such interiors, one feels comfortable, familiar, and at the same time—sitting and admiring.
The hotel has its own private beach and marina.
Bvlgari Resort is definitely a dark horse on the Dubai hotel map and from the moment I saw it in person, it has been my number one recommendation for VIP clients!
