UAE Hotel Guide: Where To Stay For A Luxury Holiday

We’ve teamed up with Rotana Hotels and Resorts to show you the very best of the UAE, with guides on where to stay, where to eat and what to do.

While most people tend to only visit Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates has so many more amazing places to discover.

The special thing about the Rotana hotel collection is the uniqueness of each hotel. Here’s just some of the luxurious 5-star Rotana hotels you can choose to stay in when exploring the Seven Emirates…

Saadiyat Rotana Resorts & Villas, Abu Dhabi

A stylish resort set on a pristine beach with uninterrupted Arabian Gulf views – what more you could you ask for? The modern resort and villas are just 15 or so minutes away from Abu Dhabi’s top attractions.

There’s eight different dining and drink options, including a chill rooftop bar. Tennis courts, a Turkish and Moroccan Hammam in the Zen the Spa and a huge swimming pool will put you in holiday mode.

Al Bandar Rotana – Creek, Dubai, Dubai

Sipping a sundowner as you watch dusk descend on Dubai’s skyline is an unforgettable experience. It’s also exactly what you’ll discover at Al Bandar Rotana – Creek, Dubai.

The architecturally-striking property boasts stylish rooms with super sleek bathrooms. Plus, it has a grand total of five places to eat and drink. The hotel is located at Dubai Creek, right on the waterfront and close to the heart of the city.

There’s also a rooftop swimming pool, sauna, steam and massage rooms if the city gets too much for you.

The Cove Rotana Resort, Ras Al Khaimah

Rotana’s first property in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, The Cove Rotana Resort is just over one hour away from Dubai, making it an ideal add-on to your trip if you love the beach.

There’s 204 rooms and 78 one, two and three bedroom villas if you’re travelling with a family or group of friends. This resort has everything you could ever want – six restaurants and bars, two swimming pools, a beautiful beach and water sports activities.

Being brought to your room via golf cart is an extra bonus.

Fujairah Rotana Resort & Spa, Fujairah

If the idea of romantic seafood dinners on the beach appeals then this is the resort for you. Standing between the Indian Ocean and the Hajar mountain range, Fujairah Rotana Resort & Spa is worlds away from hectic city life.

A scenic drive through the mountains will bring you to this peaceful resort. You can play volleyball on the private beach or learn to scuba dive. Or just chill out in the Zen the Spa.
