Burj Al Arab

Soaring skyward like the sail of a huge dhow, this iconic hotel is as exclusive as it is unique. Combining luxury and futuristic design with ancient traditions, it represents the very essence of Dubai.

At Burj Al Arab you'll never go hungry, with seven restaurants - six of which are award-winning signature eateries. Book a blissful oriental massage at the lavish Assawan Spa & Health Club or work up a sweat with a personal trainer in one of the two fitness centres.

Make a splash at the amazing Wild Wadi Water Park before basking on the sand of the private beach. Then slide into an indoor swimming pool or hop on a complimentary buggy to Jumeirah Beach Hotel for watersports including windsurfing, snorkelling and diving.

Other facilities include shops, excursions, yacht charter and a kids' club.
