If family fun is on your mind this month, whisk the little ones off to Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai. Inspired by mythical Thai and Arabian adventures, the prime stretch of Dubai Islands’ waterfront offers a plethora of activities to keep junior jetsetters entertained.
There’s the Candy Spa, where kids can indulge in a pampering session specifically tailored for younger guests, and Camp Safari, where children can enjoy engaging workshops including safari hunts and collage crafts. For those who are aqua-adventurous, there are plenty of opportunities to go for a dip, with scuba diving lessons, water polo and aqua fitness sessions, so if you have any little competitors, a water polo or water volleyball match is just the thing.
When day turns to night, it’s time to groove at the Kids Disco or curl up in front of the big screen for a movie underneath the stars. But it’s not all about the kids: parents can relax by the beach or treat themselves to a treatment at the spa while the little ones are engrossed in their own Centara adventures. If stomachs begin to murmur, little gastronomes have eight venues in which to test their taste buds.
Place the family in the kaleidoscopic Mirage Family Lounge, where international and Thai fusion steals the show, or for those with a sweet tooth, make a beeline to the candy-covered Zing where you have the pick of sandwiches, pastries, cakes and ice-cream for a sweet escape in Dubai.
