Enjoy Dubai’s finest seaside attractions
23.03.2019 Times of India
In the jewel of the ocean... they fall from the sky’ was the mysterious clue revealed in the award-winning campaign BMG 3.0’s second film with Shah Rukh Khan. With the third film revealing La Perle as the second stop, we took a deep dive into the some of the other jewels that Dubai has to offer.
La Mer
One of the city’s newcomers — La Mer is known for its top seaside restaurants, cafés and plethora of ice cream parlours. Beach bars MASTI and Stars ’N’ Bars are at either end of the quarter, providing al fresco dining and drinking with magnificent views from outdoor terraces. The picture-pretty shoreline is lined with brightly painted beach huts and open for swimming from sunrise to sunset. While patrolling security forbids anyone from a dip in the dark, you can still sit on the beach and listen to the sound of the waves long after the sun sets. It’s perfect to chill out on after a hard day’s slipping and sliding around the family-friendly Laguna Waterpark.
Blue Waters, Dubai
Blue Waters Dubai is an island off the city and one of the latest attractions. It is home to Ain Dubai, houses 132 shops, restaurants, Caesars Palace Hotel and the new Cove Beach. The island’s lifestyle and retail area, The Wharf, is home to all the shopping and eating action, connected by walkways dotted around low-rise boulevards, with outlets still yet to open. As well as licensed fine-dining restaurants at the waterfront, there are quirky cafés and intimate bistros at every nook and cranny. For those who want to class it up a bit, there’s always Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai, featuring an outdoor swimming pool, six brandspanking new restaurants, a fitness centre and a health spa. It will also house Gordan Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen. When the lucky island residents make their move (the first of which should be in early 2019), they’ll be dropping their boxes in one of 10 elegant mid-rise towers featuring 698 apartments, four penthouses and 17 townhouses set over a podium with stunning views of the sea and Ain Dubai.
Palm Jumeirah, Dubai
One of the world’s most daring developments, the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai is a haven for vacationers. Jutting out into the Arabian Gulf, this man-made archipelago was built in the shape of a palm tree, with a three-mile-long trunk and a fan of fronds lined with luxury villas and five-star hotels. From water parks and wildlife encounters to beach clubs and boozy brunches, discover 10 cool things to do at the Palm Jumeirah. One of the first things that strike you when visiting is its size. This giant archipelago is visible from space and the outer crescent is almost seven miles long. One of Dubai’s most lavish day spas, the Talise Ottoman Spa at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, offers a host of pampering experiences. Awaken your senses with the Coffee Peeling treatment, where you’ll be scrubbed and buffed using Turkish coffee in the hammam (traditional bathhouse). Or treat yourself to ‘The World’s Most Luxurious Spa Experience,’ a full-day session that includes a 24 karat gold mask, a rose bath and a diamond body ritual. This ultra-luxe package includes an overnight stay for two and a caviar lunch with Champagne.
Atlantis, Dubai
Standing proud at the top of the Palm, the rose-hued Atlantis is one of Dubai’s most recognisable landmarks. It’s home to a five-star hotel, celebrity chef restaurants, and a pulse-racing selection of entertainment and leisure options. Unleash your inner kid at Aqua Venture Waterpark, where you can ride record-breaking waterslides (including one that shoots you through a shark tank), splash in the pools, or kick back on the private beach. The underwater thrills don’t end when you leave the waterpark. While you’re at Atlantis, swim with dolphins at Dolphin Bay, get up close and personal with the resident sea lions, and take a tour of The Lost Chambers Aquarium, where you can snorkel or dive through lagoons that are teeming with 65,000 marine animals, including 14 species of sharks and rays. For something a little more sedate, sign up for a yoga session overlooking the aquarium.
