A powerhouse of luxury entertainment, this UAE jewel plays host to the biggest, the boldest and the best. Famous for its grandeur and extreme wealth, luxury holidays in Dubai promise a unique blend of traditional culture and modern innovation.

A shimmering metropolis towering the dusts of the Arabian Desert, it is here that you’ll find an effortless blend of architectural wonders, glorious beaches, twinkling gold and spice souks that beam a mosaic of colours, and shopping malls vast enough to house aquariums. In case we’re not clear, this is a destination that claims a 7-star hotel and dispenses gold from vending machines…

Synonymous with first-class everything, you’d be mistaken to think this exciting metropolis caters to just one type of person. The range of amenities on offer fulfil any need, whether that’s ticking off the world’s tallest building and dining at Michelin restaurants or racing quad bikes (or camels) through desert sands, visiting awe-inspiring theme parks, or simply relaxing on one of the Gulf’s beautiful beaches. Every desire can be catered for.

The city is peppered with a spectacular range of hotels across its districts, all of which present an experience like no other. Whether you’re looking for luxury in Jumeirah and The Palm or history and heritage in Old Dubai, there’s a suite to suit all tastes.
