This hotel is Ajman’s original luxury beach retreat. The private beach is lapped by clear waters of the Arabian Gulf and is the largest of the area’s beachfront hotels; you won’t have to worry about getting a sun lounger here. There’s a shuttle bus three times a day that takes you to the most popular shopping centres in the area including Sharjah Blue Souk, Mall of Emirates and Dubai Mall – so you can be wandering around the world’s largest mall and viewing the Burj Khalifa in around 30 minutes (dependent on Dubai traffic), before returning back to the relaxed surrounds of your resort. The hotel remains true to its location’s heritage – expect Arabian arches and pillared rooms. Dining covers a variety of cuisine, and there’s a good choice of facilities to keep you entertained if your holiday style is getting comfortable in-resort. Order seafood fresh off the grill at the beachfront Zanzi Bar, try the signature tandoori lobster at the Indian restaurant, Bukhara, or have wood-fired pizza from the Italian restaurant, Sabella’s. At The Spa, you can choose from a menu of treatments including Balinese massages at an outdoor sala, and keen golfers can take advantage of special guest rates at the 18-hole Al Zorah Golf Club. As well as a kids’ club and dedicated children’s pool, families can have an evening ‘out’ at the cosmic-themed bowling alley. Most rooms have full or partial sea views and a private balcony, with the exception of Laguna Poolside Rooms which are in a separate building and are great for easy access to the pool. Superior Rooms on the first four floors have partial sea views, while the similarly-sized Superior, Deluxe and Signature Deluxe Rooms have fuller views. The larger Junior Suites have a separate sitting area while one of the hotel’s most luxurious options is the Deluxe Suite, which comes with a separate entrance area, living space and spacious balconies.
On a soft sandy beach that gently slopes out into the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf, this resort is reminiscent of an Emirati palace. As you walk under the wide arches of the lobby past meticulous flower arrangements, you’ll be transported to a stately Arabian home where soft latte furnishings sit underneath elaborate chandeliers. The service is as impressive as the interior, whether you’re ordering a cocktail at the Escape Bar or meeting one of the head chefs who might come by to check in with you at dinner. There’s a focus on pure relaxation at the award-winning GOCO Spa. It’s spread out over a huge 1200 square metres, with every inch made for unwinding in amid draped chiffon and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the sea. At the pool, service is summoned by the push of a button, and the beach is great for swimming when the tide is favourable with low rock walls sheltering the water on either side. Dining is catered to international tastes; there’s live cooking stations at Vista, seafood and steak at Safi and Arabic cuisine at Mejhana where the menu features mezze-style dishes, tagines and charcoal-grilled meats. The rooms and suites are lavished in gold, teal and purple prints and have modern amenities. Each room has a private balcony and a marbled en suite with Byredo toiletries. Deluxe Creek View Rooms have partial views of the Ajman Creek; we recommend a room with sea views like the Deluxe Sea View Room or upgrading for an Al Dana Suite for extra space.
