Beyond the whimsical green hedges, billowing drapes and effortlessly cool interiors that welcome visitors to Delano Dubai, there exists an unspoken invitation: sleep well, eat well, live well. From the boudoir to the beachfront, every detail at this urban resort on the golden shores of Bluewaters Dubai is designed to maximise personal wellbeing and create a guest experience like no other.
Building on innovations pioneered at the original Delano Hotel in South Beach, Miami, the little touches at Delano Dubai deliver surprise and delight in equal portions at every turn. Service here is intuitive and unobtrusive; discrete but warm and never far away. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” says the old adage, which is upheld at Delano Dubai with a daily dose of vitamin C in the form of a crunchy little apple, served in its own custom-made jewel box.
As a brand, Delano knows that its guests live life to the fullest, which is why they are treated to maximum comfort when cocooned in their room or suite. Fluffy bathrobes, high-thread-count bed linens and soft slippers that feel like stepping onto a cloud cocoon you in a warm embrace, while weighted Gravity Blankets are designed to help guests staying in Delano Dubai’s collection of exquisite suites fall asleep faster and enjoy a deeper, more restful slumber.
Each bright and airy guestroom extends a quiet invitation to relaxation, with white oak flooring cushioned with custom wool rugs, unobtrusive artworks and rich textures in a palette of muted neutral tones. Even the minibar pre-empts personal lifestyle and wellness needs; stocked with energising ginger shots, calming eye masks, collagen and hydration shots and indulgent nibbles.
Every accommodation category has its own private terrace with views across Delano Dubai’s palm-crowned gardens or the golden haze of the Arabian Gulf; perfectly positioned for an early morning coffee or evening sundowners in the comfort of your suite.
Bathrooms are stocked with rejuvenating products from European skincare brand Byredo as well as Dyson hairdryers, so you can spend less time on your blowout and more enjoying lazy days by the pool and Delano nights without end.
A covetable collection of swimwear, fashion, beauty products and accessories justify a stop at The Store, where you can grab a barista-made coffee en route to the Delano Pool, the Alice in Wonderland-inspired stage on which memories are made. Blending indulgence and playfulness, this palm-lined social hub evokes the Miami-cool aesthetic of the South Beach original, with semi-sunken loungers and social areas surrounded by custard-yellow and white-striped umbrellas that spill down to the golden sands of the 250-metre beach.
Designed for travellers who value slow days and long nights—healthy living and deep sleeps—Delano Dubai sets itself apart with the little touches that put everything you need within a finger’s reach.
