1. URBAN ESCAPE
How to beat the heat? Retreat indoors to one of Dubai’s ultra-luxe hotels and hide out in style! Waldorf Astoria Dubai International Financial Centre has launched an Urban Summer Escape offer to help you do just that.
All you have to do is stay for two nights or more, and you’ll get: breakfast at the award-winning Bull & Bear, Dhs250 daily credit to use across the hotel’s restaurants, early check-in at 10am and late check-out at 4pm, a room upgrade to the next category, and 20 per cent discount on spa treatments at the Waldorf Astoria Spa. This swimming pool also awaits – the perfect place for cooking sundowner dips with cocktail or mocktail in hand.
2. SUMMER'S SELF-CARE TIME
If you’re looking for more of a spa-cation than a staycation, head to Armani Dubai for its four-in-one half-day Armani Spa Summer Offer. The experience starts with a cleansing journey through the thermal bathing facilities, followed by a 25-minute signature treatment – either a massage, detoxifying body scrub or body wrap – in the comfort of a Giorgio Armani-designed private treatment room.
You can then enjoy the hotel’s stunning pool deck for a sun-kissed dip, followed by a delicious wellness-inspired bento box lunch. If you’re still in need of some extra pampering, you can book an additional Hydrafacial Treatment with its three-step, 30-minute experience taking your skincare routine to the next level.
3. SPA IN THE SKY
For an exclusive summer staycation, book Burj Al Arab’s Jumeirah Summer Escapes offer, with 20 per cent off when staying three nights or more, USD $100 resort credit, daily breakfast, luxurious Hermès bathroom amenities, access to the temperature-controlled pool at The Terrace, unlimited access to Wild Wadi Waterpark, use of the hotel’s stunning Talise Spa (pictured), and exclusive access to Summersault Beach Club at Jumeirah Al Naseem.
Your duplex suite will be serviced by a dedicated team of butlers and concierge staff to personalise your experience. To take it even further, book a private dinner at Ristorante L’Olivo at Al Mahara, with rose petal set-up, five-course tasting menu, champagne and gifts. You can even send a loved one a special underwater message in the restaurant’s aquarium!
4. A CITY BY THE SEA
Escape the hustle and bustle of city life with a spa-inspired stay at The Ritz-Carlton Dubai, with its Spa-cation special offer. You can indulge in a 60-minute massage at The Ritz-Carlton Spa, followed by a beautiful two-course lunch at La Baie restaurant, or a signature Afternoon Tea experience at The Lobby Lounge.
You can also maximise your time at this gorgeous resort, with day access to the resort’s swimming pools and private beach, allowing you to cool off any day of the week this summer. Fancy lingering a little longer? Then why not book a night in a sea- or garden-view suite, followed by dinner at Tamoka or Splendido.
