Banyan Tree Dubai 

The diamond of Dubai

This elegant oasis blends majestic ocean views with a sought-after location and a breathtaking beachfront restaurant.

This exquisite escape has an enviable location right on the sandy shores of Bluewaters Island - and its postcard-perfect facade teases just a glimpse of the pure serenity that awaits. Take a moment to admire the breathtaking Arabian Gulf as you saunter along the soft, powdery beachfront and seize the opportunity to disconnect from life’s routines. With its elegant, Asian-inspired interiors, lush gardens and expansive pools, when we say this place has it all, we mean it. There’s a selection of sought-after tourist attractions including the Jumeirah Beach Residences and Dubai Marina, both just a stone’s throw away, and for those moments when a little R&R is needed, a sparkling spa. Indulge in treatments galore before heading out to one of the many swanky dining venues for a tasty bite. Once you’re suitably satisfied, draw the day to a close with an evening stroll illuminated by Dubai’s dazzling city lights.

Why we love Banyan Tree Dubai

  • Thanks to its prime location right in the beating heart of Dubai, you’re perfectly positioned to explore the vibrant city.

  • The spa is a sanctuary for the senses, serving a menu of indulgent treatments, all inspired by centuries-old Asian traditions.

  • Dining options here are second-to-none, and whilst all of the restaurants offer their own unique appeal, the opportunity to dine right on the beachfront is something else.

  • The spacious accommodation with floor-to-ceiling windows offers stunning views at all times of the day.
