What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
A collection of clubs and restaurants—and the Dubai Marine Beach Resort and Spa—it is home to several small, modish lounges, including So Cho.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The resort borders the residential streets of Jumeirah 1, positioned beside Jumeirah Mosque and minutes from La Mer.
The rooms
Two-storey garden villas feature marble bathrooms and classic furnishings, scattered along leafy stone paths just steps from the sand.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three temperature-controlled pools curve through palm gardens, lined with striped sun loungers and illuminated wooden pavilions at night.
The spa and gym
A classical indoor thermal bath, Moroccan hammam, and sauna join a bright fitness centre equipped for strength training.
Bar
Club Boudoir
Opulent French-inspired interiors host late-night DJ sets, centered around a curved, backlit marble bar and dance floor.
At the table
Open-air dining terraces and seaside lounges serve Middle Eastern mezze, grills, and sunset drinks along the private beach.
How it began
Opened in 1989, the property eschewed Dubai's typical high-rise towers to create an early low-rise coastal retreat in Jumeirah.
