You can read our complete guide to Dubai’s’ Best Water Parks here

Dubai hotels with water park access

Families staying at the following hotels will get access to one of Dubai’s three largest water parks. These can be a great value when you factor in the cost of a single day at a water park + accommodation and transport costs within the city.

However, consider how much value you will get from staying at one of these attached hotels; of course, the complimentary ticket cost is included in your nightly rate. If you plan to do plenty of things other than just the water park on a trip to Dubai, you may lose some of the value of staying at an attached property for a premium.

We won’t provide exact pricing for each hotel and waterpark ticket, as it changes frequently – you will often find special package offers, particularly during the summer low season.

Our next favourite pick for family facilities is Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, located on the outer frond of the Palm Jumeirah. The poolside facilities here are excellent and include a mini water park feature with several slides.

NB – Wild Wadi has been closed for quite some time for renovations but has reopened in the Spring of 2023 ONLY to Jumeirah’s guests. We await news when Wild Wadi will publicly re-open.

Grand Hyatt Dubai

Not often thought about, as it does not sit along the Arabian Gulf beachfront like most, the Grand Hyatt certainly delivers on family entertainment. Nestled on Dubai Creek, it is conveniently close to the airport, making it an excellent choice for short stopover and fly-through guests who want to enjoy a bit of the Dubai weather en route.

You can expect to find three swimming pools – including one of the largest pools in Dubai, an indoor pool, and a kids-only pool with a giant splash playground and slides. Plenty of flexible room layouts accommodate family-sized groups and offer a choice of 10 restaurants.

Important note in 2025: They are massively expanding the pool and family facilities here to include a complete water park. Great news for future stays, but this means presently the main kids’ pool is shut for renovations. Please bear this in mind before booking this resort!

• Anantara Qasr al Sarab Desert Resort & Spa (Abu Dhabi)

• Mysk Al Badayer Retreat (Sharjah)

---

The Very Best Dubai Desert Resorts

There are two firm choices in the Dubai Emirate for pure indulgent luxury resorts in the desert. These resorts offer unique and beautiful desert scapes, indulgent accommodation, and impeccable service.

Al Maha – A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa – Best For Romantic Luxury

Where do you find Al Maha?

Located in the Dubai Emirate about 45 minutes from Downtown in an area called Murqquab, off the Dubai – Al Ain Road (E66).

What to expect at Al Maha

This is our top pick for sheer indulgence and luxury. The resort complex consists of only 42 stand-alone private tented villas, each with its own private pool and sun deck. There’s a strictly no under-10 rule, making it perfect for that romantic night away, honeymoon, or special occasion.

Al Maha offers a huge range of desert activities included in your hotel stay, as well as add-on options from dining under the stars to spa packages. The resort is inside the 225sq km Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, making for a brilliant combination of wellness and nature. You can explore the desert by 4×4, foot, camel, or horseback.

How much does a night at Al Maha Cost?

Dust off your wallet, as exclusive Arabian luxury of this calibre doesn’t come cheap. Suites with a private pool start at 4,445 AED / $1,200 USD plus local taxes per night. Look out for special offer,s though, such as Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.

Those looking for a daycation escape can indulge in a Timeless Spa package, including lunch, treatments, and pool use.

Bab al Shams Desert Resort & Spa

Where do you find Bab al Shams?

Near Endurance Village, take the D63 from Dubai or the E75 along the border from Abu Dhabi. It is approximately a 45-minute drive away from Downtown Dubai, 50 minutes from DXB or DWC.

What to expect at Bab al Shams

In addition to an array of dining and pool options, the resort offers a stellar lineup of outdoor activities, from falconry to camel rides and options to hire sporting gear such as fat bikes and dune buggies. Families can enjoy the Sinbad Kids Club, featuring a dedicated kids’ pool area and a stunning infinity pool with breathtaking desert views.

Due to its proximity to Dubai, it’s a popular weekend spot for daycations and draws a big weekend Brunch crowd. If you are looking for the party atmosphere, then it’s a Saturday you want. However, the rest of the week is much quieter for families or a relaxing, indulgent treat.

One unique experience we recommend is their nightly buffet at Al Hadheerah restaurant. With serious Arabian Nights vibes, this is one of the best desert dining experiences in Dubai.

How much does a night at Bab al Shams cost?

Rooms start at 1160 AED / $315 USD plus taxes per night for a Superior King and go up to 3850 AED / $1050 USD for a Deluxe Suite. Rates will be cheaper during the hotter off-peak months (and Booking.Com Genius members can save more).

The resort also offers “daycation” packages to enjoy the desert-based leisure facilities without staying overnight.

Luxury UAE Desert Resorts in the other Emirates

The good news is that desert luxury in the UAE extends far beyond the boundaries of the Dubai Emirate. Explore this collection of resorts within a few hours’ drive of Dubai.

Anantara Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort & Spa (Abu Dhabi)

Where do you find Qasr al Sarab?

Head deep into the Empty Quarter—the Liwa Desert—approximately 3 hours’ drive from Dubai via the E11/E65, well signposted and freeway driving until the last 14 km or so, where you snake deep into the dunes on a paved road to your desert oasis.

What to expect at Qasr Al Sarab

From the grand archway welcoming you off the freeway to every intricate touch in your room, you’ll know you’ve entered a luxurious and opulent hidden oasis.

The resort has a range of hotel rooms and private villa suites. An equally great location for romantic retreats and family getaways, there is an extensive recreation program from dune bashing and camel treks to sandboarding, fat biking, archery, horse riding, and nature hikes into the desert. They also offer a daily tour deeper into the Liwa Desert to discover the historic Liwa Fort and visit a Palm tree farm and camel farm.

The wellness program is superb, featuring aqua aerobics, dawn yoga, and the most exquisite Arabian spa experiences. And don’t forget the kids club, available for parents wanting to grab some time alone, along with a kids pool area and babysitting services on offer (extra charge).

Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa (Abu Dhabi Emirate)

Where do you find Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa

Located on Sir Bani Yas Island, to the west of Abu Dhabi, you take the E11 from Dubai, continue past Abu Dhabi city, and turn off at Ruwais for the Jebel Dhanna Jetty. This journey takes about 3 hours. From Jebel Dhanna, a luxury ferry makes the 20-minute journey across to Sir Bani Yas Island, and it’s another 15-minute minivan journey across the island to your resort – all transfers from the port included.

What to expect at Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa

One of the most truly unique opportunities you will get on a Dubai trip is heading west of the UAE. Sir Bani Yas Island is home to one of the country’s largest nature reserves. Along with the main hotel resort complex on Sir Bani Yas, you can also enjoy a private luxury villa at one of their sister resorts on the island, Al Yamm Villa Resort and Al Sahel Villa Resort.

The island itself is largely a nature reserve, home to more than 10,000 freely roaming animals, from gazelles and oryx to cheetahs and giraffes. The hotel will arrange a 4×4 nature and wildlife tour for you.

Apart from the animals, enjoy uninterrupted sea views to the Arabian Gulf, pool and beach access, and a great range of restaurants and bars from the Palm & Savannah Gill buffet dining to Amwaj seafood on the beach, Olio Restaurant and lounge Italian beachfront dining, and Al-Shams Middle Eastern cuisine poolside. And did we mention the Desert Oasis Spa, Balance Wellness retreats, and yoga lessons?

One of the most exciting times of year to visit is for the annual Kite Fest, held the first Saturday in March (TBC if held in 2022). Packages can be booked, including weekend camping and barbeque along with a nature drive experience.

What does a night at Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa Cost?

There is quite a range in pricing from Deluxe Garden Rooms at 1120 AED / $305 USD plus taxes per night, through to a standalone 2 bedroom villa with private pool from 6,915 AED / $1,885 USD plus taxes per night (note Booking.com Genius members can get big discounts here).

If you are not after a full overnight experience, day packages are also available. But trust us, if you have driven all the way from Dubai, you will want at least a few nights here to soak up the experience.

Separately, you can check pricing for the sister resorts on Sir Bani Yas Island, also operated by Anantara Al Yamm Villa Resort and Al Sahel Villa Resort, which are quite reasonably priced compared to the resort villas. These also offer a unique experience, with many rooms with uninterrupted sea views, some with private plunge pools.

Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah Al Wadi Desert (Ras al Khaimah)

Where can you find Al Wadi Resort?

Al Wadi Desert Resort is accessible from the E311, about 90 km from Downtown Dubai and DXB airport. It’s just over the border into the Ras Al Khaimah Emirate, where the rolling red dunes start, about a one-hour drive from DXB. The hotel also offers a shuttle service directly from DXB airport, or private door-to-door transfers can be arranged.

What to expect at Al Wadi Desert Resort

Another beautiful and unique desert resort in the UAE, bathed in luxury and hands-on nature experiences. Perfect for families, couples, or a group of friends, the resort consists of 101 Bedouin-style individual villas, each with its own private pool.

Set within Wadi Khadeja, a 500-hectare nature reserve, there is an excellent lineup of recreation opportunities such as daily falconry shows, desert safaris, nature walks, and archery on offer. There is even an on-site equestrian centre and professional riding lessons. From the comfort of your room or pool, you can watch gazelle and oryx freely roaming.

The Amara Spa, with its hydrotherapy pool and rainforest experience, is highly commended. The Ritz Kids club and program are also among the best, with lots of hands-on experiences, including animal tracking, bird watching, tree planting, and stargazing.

There is a sister Ritz-Carlton resort at Al Hamra Beach, so if you still like your sea views as well as your desert vibes, you can hop on the complimentary transfer bus and enjoy some rays at the beach before returning to your tranquil desert setting for sunset.

What does it cost to stay at Al Wadi Desert Resort?

One night in a private pool villa starts from around 1700 AED / $465 USD plus taxes per night—cheaper deals are available during the hotter summer months.

Mysk Al Badayer Retreat (Sharjah)

Where do you find Mysk Al Badayer Retreat?

Situated just off the E44 on the Dubai to Hatta Road (Margham), Al Badayer is in the Emirate of Sharjah, approximately 40 minutes from Downtown Dubai.

What to expect at Mysk Al Badayer Retreat

A very new luxury tented camp, including breakfast and a swimming pool, is located technically in neighbouring Emirate Sharjah, as the borders crisscross inconspicuously across the desert. There are 21 on-site rooms and ten tents, making it a small and intimate luxury setting, as opposed to a sprawling resort, located close to “Big Red,” one of the country’s largest sand dunes.

Although it’s not as elaborate as some other examples, it is relatively close to the city and DXB airport, offering an attractive experience for first-timers seeking a unique desert getaway with charming Bedouin touches. You will still find on-site a health club, indoor pool, and a wellness focus to your visit, as well as outdoor recreation activities from desert safaris to camel trekking and quad biking.

Dining is at the Kulo Emirati restaurant or Caravan international eatery, and nightfall offers uninterrupted starlit skies in this utterly tranquil desert setting. (NB Sharjah is a dry Emirate; no alcohol is served.)

How much does a night at Mysk Al Badayer Retreat cost?

Rooms start at 1,350 AED / $365 USD plus taxes per night, and family-sized tents are 3,500 AED / $955 USD plus taxes per night.

Resorts and Hotels on the West Crescent of the Palm

We will take our journey around the Palm starting from the west crescent, past Altantis on the tip of the crescent and over to the east, before looking at those resorts and hotels on the trunk.

Think marble floors against gold and platinum finishes – this is Dubai-style palatial luxury at its best.

Stand-out features at this property include the fantastic 23-treatment room Cinq Mondes Spa and Dubai’s biggest indoor swimming pool. The outdoor pool also has amazing cityscape views, and there’s a children’s pool within eyesight for younger members of the family.

A choice of six outdoor swimming pools will keep little ones occupied and Aquaventure Waterpark is only a 5-minute drive away.

Also brought to you by the Sofitel group, The Retreat Palm Dubai MGallery is the first holistic wellbeing resort in the Middle East and sits proudly alongside the hotels on Palm Jumeirah. The philosophy of personal transformation through the well-being of body, mind and spirit runs throughout this peaceful sanctuary.

Each accommodation in this 255-room retreat presents incredible views across the Arabian Gulf and Palm Jumeirah for a beautiful wake-up. There are bespoke treatments available at Rayya Wellness Center and packages including detox & juicing and yoga & mindfulness. Daily sunrise yoga on the private beach is also particularly inspiring. Feel free to relax in the infinity pool after.

The resort is alcohol-free, instead with an open-air juice bar as part of the four restaurants on-site.

Anantara is a wonderful resort on Palm Jumeirah for straight-up beachy luxury. With its distinctly south-east Asian vibe, it’s a relaxing stay for couples and families with plenty of fabulous dining options and activities to keep everyone happy. 

The hotel’s architecture harks to Thai temples, a theme that extends through the spa and 50-meter infinity pool, as well as the resort’s huge lagoon-style pools that interconnect through the resort. Couples can enjoy hammam rituals at the Anantara Spa while youngsters are entertained at kid and teen clubs.

What makes Anantara the Palm unique is the UAE’s only overwater villas, with a glass floor so you can view the marine life beneath. If you want that added privacy, private beachfront villas have their own pool.

With 470 guest rooms, the hotel is popular with party-goers and foodies, offering a range of bars, restaurants and three nightclubs to satiate both laid-back and high-energy occasions. It has a private beach and five pools, including kids and adults-only, as well as spa treatments and a spa pool with hydrotherapy jets.

Enjoy views back to the beautiful beachfront of JBR and the towering skyscrapers of Dubai Marina.

Address Beach Resort

Bursting its way to the top of our revised list for 2023, the long-awaited Address Beach Resort in JBR has opened to spectacular applause with a see-it-to-believe-it rooftop infinity pool.

Sitting at a towering 964.2 feet/ 294m above the beach it has quickly earned the Guinness World Record title as the highest infinity pool in the world (it’s Dubai, of course!)

Offering some of the city’s most spectacular views, the sky-high infinity pool on Level 77 offers sunken lounges and snakes around the roof of the building. There is over 300ft/94m of swimming space you can get in your laps too, before enjoying the spectacular views towards Blue Waters Island, Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Beach.

The adults-only pool offers only wet beds and shaded cabanas for residents, along with dining from adjacent Asian-fusion restaurant Zeta Seventy Seven.

A sky bridge connects two highrise towers, housing the highest infinity pool in Dubai. Due to its exclusive location, the pool itself is not huge, and space is limited.

Once you go in there, you may feel like you are swimming in the sky and are in danger of falling to the streets below. This feeling can be super-exciting or extremely terrifying. If you are not inside the pool, you can still get amazing views from the rooftop, especially of the boats that go past the hotel below.

Dukes The Palm, A Royal Hideaway Hotel

One of the most iconic views of Dubai’s JBR skyline can be found at Duke’s the Palm. An unassuming hotel from the outside – much smaller than many of its resort counterparts on the Palm Jumeirah – sits at the top of the ‘trunk’ of the Palm. The highrise hotel gives away to gardens and grandeur with a large infinity pool offering utterly instagrammable moments

Bab Al Shams, Al Qudra

Situated approximately 50km outside of the city, Bab Al Shams offers one of Dubai’s truly unique experiences with a stunning infinity pool overlooking the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve. With Arabic styling throughout, this is truly one of our favourite unique pools to experience in Dubai.

The resort offers day passes and a Friday brunch in addition to overnight stays (so mid-week is much quieter if you want to avoid the crowds). Your stay can be combined with many outdoor adventure activities, including jeep and camel rides for a fun afternoon out in the desert before retreating to shimmering sunset views.

FIVE Jumeirah Village

Only opening in September 2019, FIVE Jumeirah Village (sister hotel to popular clubbing hotel FIVE Palm Jumeirah) became an instant hit on the party scene, mainly because of the fact this circular high-rise hotel has – wait for it – 269 private swimming pools!

No longer a luxury reserved just for the penthouse suite, FIVE offers one-bedroom suites with terrace jacuzzis through to two and four-bedroom apartment options with private swimming pools. And unlike many of their villa-style counterparts, FIVE Jumeirah Village comes in at a more manageable price range for that special treat.
