1. BUCOLIC BEAUTY
One of our favourite ways to escape the urbanity of Dubai is to book into somewhere bucolic, where trees and greenery give life. Melia Desert Palm is one such place, where its polo fields, stables, verdant grounds and rural vibe conjure up provincial idylls. You can languish by the infinity pool, eat al fresco at Epicure, dine on sublime starlit steak at Rare, surrender yourself to Samana Spa, then rest your head in a beautiful Polo Suite with ground-level views of equestrian action outside. Oh, and if you book directly through the hotel’s website, before March 8th, with its ‘Get Set For Summer’ campaign, you’ll receive up to 45 per cent off your stay. Green and good.
2. SPRING’S URBAN OASIS
Ever want to be at the heart of the action yet removed from the frenzy? Address Downtown Dubai truly understands the conundrum, offering guests an urban retreat right in the centre of Downtown Dubai, where views of Burj Khalifa play backdrop to an understated haven that allows you to escape from the city and enjoy serenity in elegant and contemporary surroundings. Drink in Dubai, then retreat to a Premier Fountain View Room, with breathtaking views of the world’s tallest building and the captivating dance of the Dubai Fountains. Take advantage of Address Hotels + Resorts’ flash sale, and be rewarded with 30 per cent off your stay before April 22, making a night’s stay all the more special.
3. WHERE CITY AND SNOW MEET
As the mercury creeps and Ramadan approaches, we look to the city for ways to keep both cool and occupied this spring, without the need to travel too far. Thankfully Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates Dubai has cottoned onto the demand for sophisticated staycations, and is rewarding UAE residents with a special this season. Whether you’re taking a quick family break or longing for some time away from the everyday, the UAE Residence package celebrates the beauty of calling the Emirates your home. Alongside a stay in the beautiful five-star property, the offer includes two Snowpark Tickets per stay, for the ultimate ice-land adventure at Ski Dubai – including bobsleds, snow bumpers, ice cave and climbing wall – as well as a breakfast buffet at Olea each day.
Whether you choose the contemporary comfort of a Grand Deluxe Room, the unique elegance of a piste-facing Aspen Chalet or one of the exclusive suites for a truly royal stay, here space, style and sophistication are order of the day. There’s much to do to steal you away from the urban metropolis outside: relax and recline in a peaceful retreat at one of the two spectacular infinity pools, enjoy the lavish pampering spoils at Maison de Joelle, take to the court for a spot of tennis, or book the hotel’s 15-person private screening room, Vox@Kempinski, for an exclusively crafted cinematic soiree. However you spend your stay, Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates will certainly help you revel in being a resident this spring.
