Riu Dubai, Nakheel’s 800-room joint venture with Spain’s RIU Hotels & Resorts, is now open on Deira Islands, meaning there’s another must-visit entertainment destination to take the kids. Dubai’s first all-inclusive beachfront resort has a Splash Water World park, three swimming pools, two children’s pools, water sports and a RiuLand kids club. Plus, with 800 rooms for you to choose from, a gym, a spa (with sauna and hydromassage bathtub), swim-up pool bar and 10 bars and restaurants, it means a stay here can be just as much about you as the kids. Book the two-bed Presidencial Suite, with kitchenette and balcony, for the ultimate family-friendly home-away-from-home.
