Super Splurge

Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi

Now this one comes with quite a high price tag, but with very good reason. A gorgeous selection of rooms, suites and villas are situated in secluded surroundings next to the pristine white sands of an environmentally protected beach. Four swimming pools, a spa and a selection of elegant restaurants provide plenty to see and do, and the hotel is adjacent to the famous Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. Room rates in June start from Dhs975 per night.

Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental

The epitome of luxury, this stunning hotel and tourist attraction boasts a pristine 1.3km private beach, gardens spreading over 100 hectares and a fairytale-like golden exterior, which is one of the most remarkable architectural sites in the capital. Once inside, marble bathrooms, palatial furnishings and award-winning dining venues add to the grandeur and you won’t want to miss moments of pure indulgence such as a visit to the spa or sipping on the infamous gold leaf cappuccino. It’s also fantastically placed for exploring the city – that’s if you can drag yourself away from the world-class service and facilities. Room rates in June start from Dhs1,360 per night.
