The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai

Dubai Beach, Dubai

Virgin rating

The hotel

A gem of a hotel, the spectacular Ritz-Carlton, Dubai has a wealth of amenities. Guests can enjoy a total of six swimming pools, including two exclusively for children (happily set in the shade!) and one solely for adults. There’s a choice of rooms and suites, including Club rooms with access to the Club Lounge with benefits such as premium alcohol served from 12:00pm-10:00pm and five food presentations! The hotel's Italian restaurant Splendido is something of a local legend. But don't miss Amaseena, their magical tented Bedouin village set right beside the sea, serving traditional regional specialities that can be enjoyed whilst listening to the haunting background strains of the oud and the tabla. As all first-class hotels in Dubai do, this hotel overlooks its own stretch of private beach, where pristine white sands are lapped gently by azure waters. A wonderful place to relax, topping up your tan perhaps, indulging in a variety of water sports or simply reading that book you’ve been wanting to for ages now! There are plenty of shaded areas too, private nooks to call your own, and unbeatable service from the La Baie Lounge. All of this, plus an indulgent spa, exciting kids club and a great location, ensures a holiday you’ll remember forever!

To class hotel. Immaculately clean throughout but elevated by superb staff and incredible attention to detail. Lovely pool area which gets the sun through til lunch time then the fabulous beach is perfect for capturing afternoon rays. Great f&b. Location is ideal as one can walk out and enjoy bars, shops and restaurants on JBR.

First class service from a first class team. We have been coming to Dubai for several years and never stay anywhere else. We book a club room which gives us the option of popping in several times during the day for refreshments. The staff of the club room are second to none. On our recent visit we were welcomed like old friends (I was unwell last year so it was our first visit for 18 months!) Indra, Sylvester and all the team are so good, friendly but professional and always willing to help in any way they can. On our last evening there this visit we were surprised with a farewell gesture. See photo attached. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Read less
