Escape and unwind – by yourself or with your loved ones – on a short break at one of the Middle East’s most relaxing resorts. Explore five brilliant weekend escapes in Dubai, Oman, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain.

The Dubai Staycation: Jumeirah Zabeel Saray 

A home away from home – with added luxury – Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is a great place to spend a summer weekend with the family in tow. Inspired by the intricate design of Ottoman palaces, the hotel has one of the largest spas in the UAE, complete with sixty treatment rooms where guests can indulge in the signature two-hour “Rose Ritual’, designed to soothe, relax and recharge. Meanwhile, in the hotel grounds, the beachfront landscape is a shady oasis of lush gardens, pools and waterside restaurants – the perfect place to while away a lazy long weekend. Round off your trip with a private family movie screening in the hotel’s air-conditioned cinema.

 

The Adventurous Getaway: Jumeirah Muscat Bay

With the soaring Al Hajar mountains as a backdrop, this shoreside resort makes the ideal base from which to explore the landscapes around the Omani capital, Muscat. For history lovers, these hills harbour ancient necropolises, Bronze Age settlements and UNESCO heritage sites while, in the Jabal Akhdar range, terraced gardens bloom with fragrant rose and pomegranate. Hiking through the inspiring scenery is a fantastic way to find out more about the country, while ocean explorers should definitely don a snorkel and mask to see more of Oman’s spectacular sea life, including turtles and dolphins.

 

The Island Escape: Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort

The pace is gentle at our beachside retreat in Abu Dhabi, where views of white sand and turquoise sea provide a sensational backdrop to a relaxed short break. Weekend guests here can experience Jumeirah’s unique brand of island life and do as little or as much as they’d like – from heading off by boat to spot dolphins and whales or tackling the bends of Ferrari World to relaxing in the vast spa, cooling off in one of three outdoor pools fringed by white sun umbrellas or tasting cuisine from across the globe in seven restaurants. Then, as a spectacular sunset and a gentle breeze signal the evening, take in the view from The Lounge’s spectacular terrace.

 

The Beachfront Hideaway: Beit Al Bahar villas at JBH

Let us really take care of you. The Beit Al Bahar Royal Villas at Jumeirah Beach Hotel are private sanctuaries for you and your family, with their own plunge pools, butler service and a host of other exclusive benefits. Hidden away in tropical gardens just steps from our renowned stretch of private white sand, these one and two-bed villas combine the pampering privacy of a private residence with all trademark amenities of our much-loved hotel: among them are Wild Wadi Water Park (currently opening with a reduced number of rides and open exclusively for Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts guests) and KiDS Club, where your children can choose from activities including everything from face-painting to FIFA nights.

 

The Relaxing Retreat: Jumeirah Gulf of Bahrain Resort & Spa

If you’re in desperate need of soothing calm, this hotel on the south-west coast of Bahrain is renowned for its spa. Decorated in delicate veined marble and shimmering tiles, it’s a cocooning space where signature treatments combine with a ladies-only spa and Turkish hammam facilities to provide the ultimate place to relax and rejuvenate. Suitably refreshed, watch a film with your family in the onsite cinema, swim lengths in the indoor pool or explore the Gulf of Bahrain by Abra, drifting in the gentle breeze.
