Ever get that feeling where you want to escape the hustle and bustle but still have plenty of entertainment on tap? Don’t compromise on what you truly want for your staycation and have it all with Banyan Tree Dubai.
The urban resort on the banks of the Arabian Gulf promises an island of tranquility in an ocean of activity that is Bluewaters Dubai’s collection of more than 150 retail boutiques and dining venues.
Taking centre stage in the heart of the island, the oceanside property invites guests to hang their hat in one of the 178 rooms that come with their own balcony, oodles of natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and tonnes of Banyan Tree’s signature amenities. Or if you fancy something more private, check into the 4,465-square-metre four-bedroom villa where you can go for a dip in your own pool and soak up the sun from your exclusive slice of sand on the beach.
When it’s time for some gastronomic pleasure, take your pick from five venues. Gourmands with a taste for Japanese cuisine can satisfy their cravings at TakaHisa, whereas foodies who fancy a Chinese serving should place themselves at the world-renowned Demon Duck by chef Alvin Leung, where 14-day slow roasted demon duck is a must.
For tea connoisseurs, make a beeline to Tocha and its gorgeous terrace that showcases Japanese tea culture and incredible sunset vibes as well as expertly curated cocktails. Or if you prefer your dining alfresco with a sprinkling of the Mediterranean, head to the French Riviera-inspired venue of Alizée, where it’s all about plates of seafood, grills and salads from the wood-fired oven and sipping on cocktails and wine as you embrace the joie de vivre. But if the laid-back lifestyle is more your style, grab your swimsuit and shades and get yourself a cabana by the beach and or poolside and enjoy people watching while nibbling on light bites and savouring drinks from Alizée Pool & Beach.
Make sure to set some time aside to indulge in the hotel’s phenomenal facilities. There are two outdoor swimming pools and a 500-metre private beach alongside the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa where you can say goodbye to stress with a signature holistic treatment like the Royal Banyan while drinking-in unimpeded ocean views. And if you want to get your hands on those famed spa products, the Banyan Tree Gallery boutique onsite will help you continue the experience at home.
Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the local area too. The hotel is within walking distance of one of Dubai’s biggest retail and dining hubs.
There has never been a better time to stay at Banyan Tree Dubai as the property has launched the Banyan Tree Dubai a Sanctuary in the City offer, which includes early check-in and late check-out, as well as daily breakfast and 20 per cent off treatments in the spa and venues, plus flexible cancellations.
