Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf

Located in the heart of Dubai this five-star boutique hotel is the ultimate urban escape

- WORDS: CARMEL HARRISON

01 Swimmingpo­ol Enjoy access to the resort’s many exclusive swimming pools. While the resort is very big, the pools are not overcrowde­d, which means you can really get much needed R&R. And although the sea is on your doorstep, you can plunge into any of the resort’s seven pools – all of which are exclusive to guests – and elevate your resort-experience.

02 Location Convenient­ly located just a 15-minute drive from Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai, and only a five-minute walk to the famous Souk Madinat, this hotel is the ultimate urban escape. Set amongst tranquil gardens and waterways and set back from the resort’s private beach, it offers a peaceful oasis for relaxation, enabling you to forget your woes.

03 Dining Jump on a golf buggy and head across to trendy Summer salt beach club. The restaurant offers a Japanese fusion pop-up concept called ‘Umi Shio’, created by the hands of Japanese/ Argentinia­n chef Cristian Goya and featuring the flavours of South America. Di neon spicy tuna tar tar and mochi while enjoying views of the iconic Burj Al Arab.

04 Shopping Flag down one of the traditiona­l abras and soak up the sights while you sail down the waterways to the Souk Madinat. Experience the re-creation of an ancient market place filled with traditiona­l Middle Eastern style and discover souvenirs, trinkets and fabrics. Before heading back to the hotel head to one of the lounge bars for a sunset drink.

05 Suites Ask for a sea-facing suite on a high level to really soak up the views of the beach and the pretty resort. The marble-clad bathroom is Insta-gold while the king-size bed is as comfy as it looks. Highlights include private check-in, a butler service and extra spacious terrace.
