What it is

A modern family-oriented on the water, with 6 toothsome restaurants, a tech-forward spa, and gratis kids club.

What it isn't

An environmental buzzard. Jumeirah works very hard to maintain sustainability, from bottling their own water on-site using Swedish filtration systems to eliminating single-use plastics.

What we think

Families can seem like almost an afterthought in Dubai, but luxury is geared for all ages at Jumeirah Beach Hotel. There’s an on-point kids’ club and even babysitting services, plus guests have insider access at nearby Wild Wadi Waterpark, which sits at the foot of Burj Al Arab and is reported to have one of the tallest (and zippiest) free-fall water slides on the planet. Whether or not you’re traveling with the kids, the Family Garden Suite is a stunner—with a private terrace that has its own, hush-hush access to the pool and verdant gardens. But even the starter room category here, Ocean Deluxe, is ready to wow, thanks to its ginormous 538-square-foot floor plan and sumptuous yet modern interiors, all in a color palette that reflects the adjacent sand and surf.

You're here because

The hotel is happy to arrange your airport transfers—a pampering move that always makes you feel like a grade A celeb.

The Moment

In your plump leather booth in Murray’s, a Brick Lane-inspired British Indian joint, you feel a little like you’re back in London…by way of New Delhi. The prawns in coconut curry are heaven—and the fluffy garlic naan is easily the best you’ve ever had.
