Towering above the Arabian Gulf, the Jumeirah Beach Hotel reflects the colour and shape of the waves that surround it. The striking 26-storey resort, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, offers plenty of luxury and grandeur, making it the ideal setting for a holiday in Dubai. What’s more, parents don’t have to skip the experience to look for somewhere suitable for a family retreat. Jumeirah has water-play on tap at its pools and private beach, plus access to a huge waterpark, and secluded villas that are designed especially for mums, dads and kids.
Here are four reasons to consider it for your next overseas stay.
#1 Family-friendly oasis
Not only is there a 2km private beach just a few steps away from Jumeirah Beach Hotel, but a stay in the resort’s Club suites or villas comes with plenty of luxury additions. This begins with private check-in and continues during your time at the resort with access to the family and adult-only lounges, five swimming pools, the Talise Spa and J Club fitness centre. You also get unlimited direct entry to the Wild Wadi Waterpark for the whole family, and plenty of activities for kids and teens to give parents a reprieve.
