The hotel

Something of a statement, The Oberoi Beach Resort, Al Zorah is both a chic holiday hideaway, and a sculptural landmark worthy of a Turner prize. Reclining along a postcard-perfect sweep of white sand in Al Zorah (a one million square metre patch of protected forest in Ajman), this retreat is as contemporary as they come, with its crisp wooden pool deck, geometric take on Middle Eastern fretwork, and oversized walls of windows taking in sumptuous sea views. It’s not just contemporary in style though, with its luxury villas featuring private pools and space to socialise, its Oberoi Spa rivalling any urban health retreat, the straight lines of its 85 metre pool designed to be seductively sleek, and its dining venues ticking off all those modern favourites, like tapas, bento boxes, sushi, cocktails, responsibly sourced seafood, and gourmet gastronomy.

My family and I stayed 3 night during our two weeks in the 🇦🇪 UAE. Our stay included breakfast, which was magnificent, not a traditional buffet, you order from a set menu and are not limited in anyway. The selections were really good. I enjoyed breakfast, such a treat. The pool was heavenly. This was one of my most favorite pools. In the morning the pool was pretty empty, it felt like it was my own private oasis. The team running the pool area were super friendly and attentive. They brought us ice cold water in a bucket and even provided icicle pops, which I may have enjoyed more than my children. The little buzzer to call for assistance worked perfectly and I ordered goggles and food on the spot. The happy hour worked out as well, I gladly took advantage of the Aperol spritz special. The grounds were so well kept and honestly the most green I experienced during my stay. Seeing all that green was an added bonus, because it just gave the resort such a great feeling of life in the desert. The beach was also amazing, although in the summer it is best to go one hr before closing because the heat can be unbearable 😫, especially for young children. As for dinner, I only made it to one restaurant but I had the most amazing pasta dish and there was a crab appetizer to die for, really outstanding flavors and presentation. Unfortunately the kids club was closed, but not a big deal. For dinner I opted for room service and the good was just as good as dining in the restaurant. As for the room, I booked a garden room and my kids loved running around in the little yard. The catch is the kids can sneak into other yards as there is an open border at the top, I had to chase my baby down as he was interested in visiting the neighbors, so it was not completely private, but still a nice change from the typical room. They also offer villas on the beach, I would definitely return and book one of those. I think the pool was quiet because the villas have pools also, but that worked for me and perhaps the Covid situation affected capacity. I loved it and so did my husband and kids. A great place to unwind. Read less

This was our 6th stay at the Oberoi Al Zohra since last June and was the most special trip yet as we had extended family joining from abroad to celebrate two special occasions. Priya was absolutely fabulous in managing our reservation making everything so easy with her prompt responsiveness, professional customer service and understanding of the special birthdays we were celebrating. It was all reflected with a wonderful surprise by the Management Team at check-in when we were told that we had been upgraded, and if that was not enough, we walked into our villa that was beautifully and so tastefully decorated with balloons everywhere and a delicious birthday cake. Needless to say, all of us ladies were in tears and totally touched by the really kind gesture. The next day, we were welcomed by a surprise birthday waffle for breakfast at Vinesse to mark the second birthday we were celebrating and then overwhelmed when we saw the second room decorated with the lovely balloons and another bday dessert! And it did not stop there! As we walked into the spa, we were greeted by the cheery and excited therapists that had also decorated the treatment room to mark the celebration. We honestly felt that every single member of the team at Al Zorah sincerely wanted to celebrate with us and share our happiness. Of course, there is no way to forget the amazing service and food we were spoiled with throughout our stay whether at Vinesse, by the pool or for room service. We love the hotel and feel like we are returning to a warm and familiar home that is made even more special by the incredible team that have become like our extended family waiting to pamper is with their wonderful service including Ricardo, Vishnu, Jad, Tarek, Rohan, Shweta, Ranawant and Chef Royston.
