Virgin Holidays View
Not only is the 'wave' design stunning to behold, it's rather clever too, for every room enjoys a sea view from its floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the stunning private beach. Guests also have an extensive choice of more than 20 restaurants where you can sample food from around the world including Lebanese, Italian, Far Eastern and German; there's even an English style pub where you can test your knowledge at the weekly quiz night. The Latitude restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and has live cooking stations with an International selection of food to please all tastes. During the winter months, night owls can chill out at 360°, a stylish adults-only rooftop terrace where the music is played until late. Access to this very popular bar is limited so remember to get your names on the guest list at weekends. The hotel's excellent Jumeirah Beach location means that plenty of water sports are on offer including Hobie Cat sailing, kayaking, water skiing and scuba diving. If you fancy a bit of pampering then the Spa has a range of treatments available including massages and aromatherapy to help you unwind. The more active among you will enjoy the vertical challenge as you scale the 6m climbing wall, or how about a game of tennis or squash? The fitness centre has a fully equipped gym and those over 12 can join the Segway tour. Kids have their own club and will love the activities which include face painting, mask making and mini olympics.
