Some villas have infinity pools of their very own. On honeymoon? Upgrade to a One Bedroom Over Water Villa, perfect for any special occasion, not only are they sumptuously furnished but the gentle lapping of the ocean around you is a sound you’ll adore.

Not only do children and teens have their very own clubs to hang out in, with activities galore, there’s a playground, babysitting on request and a private beach to play on. Whilst they’re busy, indulge yourself at the world-renowned Anantara Spa or laze by one of the swimming pools, topping up your tan.

This is my second stay at this beautiful hotel and it won’t be the last. We stayed in a standard room in the North residence which is far from standard. A wonderful large room with excellent amenities and kept spotless by the fantastic Anita. We enjoyed fantastic meals at Bushman’s, The Beach House and Mekong. We particularly enjoyed breakfast in Revo Cafe and the warm welcome we received from Daniel each day. The highlight of our holiday was our Spice Spoons cooking experience at Mekong. This was out of this world and the staff were excellent. Special thanks to Chef Sam, Chef Palm, Jessie and Baifern. I highly recommend this to anyone staying at the hotel or anyone who lives in Dubai and wants to treat someone special to an unforgettable experience. All the staff are fantastic but a special mention to some people we thought were extra special in addition to those already mentioned above. Martin in Mai bar, Roshan (North Residence) and Ade in Bushman’s (there were also two very welcoming ladies but I didn’t get their names). Can’t wait to see you all again next year. Read less

We booked this restaurant this evening and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing and we tried dishes that we had never tried before. The staff are first class, so welcoming, friendly and attentive and a special mention to mourad who served us and explained each individual dish. Certainly a place to visit for a perfect evening.
