Spanish brand Hotel Riu to open first all-inclusive hotel on Deira Islands next month
Hotel Riu Dubai is scheduled to open at Deira Islands on December 10. The fourstar beachfront hotel by Riu Hotels & Resorts is the Spanish brand’s first property in the Middle East.
The company has been operating for more than six decades and its coming Dubai property is its 100th resort. It’s also the first hotel to open at Nakheel’s Deira Islands project.
Offering an all-inclusive stay, Hotel Riu Dubai will offer a 24hour concept that allows travellers to tuck into unlimited snacks, beverages and meals at any time of the day or night.
Hotel Riu Dubai has 787 rooms, many of which come with a sea view. There is set to be plenty of things to see and do at the family-friendly resort, including live music, shows and evening entertainment, as well as a dedicated children’s club.
Outside, there are three swimming pools, with one reserved for children. Splash Water World is also opening at the hotel. This large water park has several slides, jets and games for the whole family to enjoy, and access is included as part of the room rate.
The beachfront location will also open out to a floating Aqua Park, entry to which is also part of the all-inclusive package.
When it comes to dining, there are seven restaurants, including The Moon, a Lebanese restaurant, Spices, an Asian eatery, and Al Andalus, the hotel’s main all-day-dining restaurant, which will also offer al-fresco seating.
For in-house guests, all meals and snacks are included and available to order any time of the day, inclusive of house beverages. Minibars in each room can be restocked at any time of the day; guests simply need to call and place their request.
All visitors staying at Hotel Riu Dubai will be given an all-inclusive armband to wear during their stay which gives them free rein of the hotel and almost all of its facilities.
Watersports and spa treatments are available, but these will incur a separate charge. Nonetheless, guests can use the spa facilities as part of the all-inclusive package and group fitness activities are also complimentary for those staying at the hotel.
Opening rates for the hotel start from Dh489 for a night and guests also get free travel medical assistance when booking a stay.
