"Designed to resemble a Sheikh’s summer residence, the opulent Jumeirah Al Qasr is an Arabian fantasy with idyllic grounds, dreamy rooms and a stunning stretch of beach."

‘Al Qasr’ means ‘The Palace’ – a translation that should give you a decent idea of what to expect at the Jumeirah Al Qasr, a luxury hotel that is part of the renowned Madinat Jumeirah Resort. Upscale even by Dubai’s standards (which is certainly saying something), the hotel is designed to resemble a Sheikh’s summer residence. The entire place is an Arabian fantasy, with canal-like waterways winding through idyllic grounds, picture-perfect gardens and a stunning stretch of beach. Expect opulence around every corner at this heavenly romantic retreat.

Regal Arabian design dominates the hotel’s aesthetic, from the sand-coloured buildings topped with faux towers to the lobby’s staggeringly large Swarovski crystal chandelier. Dreamy rooms conjure up images of Arabian Nights with richly patterned carpets, ornately scalloped arches and gorgeous Persian decor. Private balconies have intricate lattice work and views of the ocean, gardens or waterways. Pretty bathrooms have marble tubs which are a bit small but not unreasonably so.

The sheer number of dining options can be rather overwhelming, but ensures that you won’t ever be bored. Indeed, guests are spoilt for choice with the variety – have Lebanese cuisine at the Al Nafoorah, flavourful Thai at Pai Thai, or a perfectly grilled cut of meat at The Hide, which is modeled after a North American steakhouse. Arboretum has a lovely terrace overlooking the waterways; breakfast there is a splendid start to the day. On the hotel’s private pier you’ll find the Mediterranean Pierchic, which feels light and airy with enormous glass windows showcasing stunning views of the water and the Burj al Arab across it. For a change of scenery (with equally spectacular views), end the evening with a drink at the stylishly laid-back Bar Buci.

Despite the fairy tale-esque vibe of the resort, children are most welcome and will enjoy it tremendously, whether they’re playing at the well-appointed Sibad’s Kids Club or hopping on one of the hotel’s water taxis to be whisked off to Wild Wadi’s Water Park (which guests have complimentary access to). Grownups have myriad watersports to choose from to stay active, or can opt to take a swimming class or challenging interval workout class in the well-appointed fitness centre. After your workout (or instead of one), claim a lounger on the beach and relax beneath the palm trees. For further indulgence, the Talise Spa beckons: equal parts tranquil and beautiful, it’s often considered one of the region’s best.
