Sheraton Jumeirah Beach details
Pulled up against a white-sand beach and surrounded by more than 200 palm trees, this hotel has all the hallmarks of an exotic retreat. Stealing the show is the spa, a just-opened sanctuary complete with a sauna, a steam room and the full menu of treatments. Factor in a well-equipped gym, a great range of watersports and a landscaped golf fairway, and it’s easy to see why the hotel has been given five stars.
When you just want to unwind, pick a spot by the pool. A huge lake-sized number sandwiched between the hotel and the beach, it offers up fantastic sea views. Add an open-air bar and a splash pool for the children into the mix, and you’ll probably find yourself spending a lot of time here.
Inside, meanwhile, bedrooms have a pared-down feel, with cream walls and patterned rugs providing the foundations. Carved-wood furniture and in-room trimmings like air-conditioning, satellite TVs and coffee-makers provide the finishing touches.
As for mealtimes, you’ve got a trio of restaurants to choose from. For international favourites, head to the Palm Garden Restaurant and pull up a chair on the palm-fringed terrace. Or, for a pick-and-mix of dim sum and Oriental eats, try the Chinese joint. Completing the line-up is the grill eatery, where steaks and seafood are cooked on a griddle and served up al fresco.
