Jumeirah Al Naseem, UAE Hotel

Dubai

Of the five standalone hotels that comprise Jumeirah’s sprawling coastal complex – a 25-minute hop from Dubai airport – Al Naseem is perhaps the most contemporary. The lush gardens, large pools and alfresco bar may scream ‘beach holiday’, but within, a chic haven is revealed. It’s a balance of muted colourways, soft edges and huge bathrooms with thoughtful touches. Many offer views of the Arabian Gulf and sail-shaped Burj al Arab. By day, you can hit up Summersalt Beach Club next door for Med- leaning lunches and lounging (alternatives include an excellent Greek restaurant and seafood- focused Rockfish), try your hand at tennis or indulge at the sprawling Talise Spa. It’s a destination in its own right with stunning grounds, cosy relaxation areas and standout treatments in private villas. Whether travelling as a family or a couple, you’re well-served here. Doubles from £337.
