Stays in Dubai are all about the city skyline
You’ve seen its skyline in photos, now stay among it and see Dubai for yourself. From the heights of the Burj Khalifa to the glam of its luxury shopping malls and the bare beauty of its desert, Dubai mixes modernity with tradition for a city break of all sorts.
Its reputation precedes it – this place is plastered on Instagram with people posing at the city’s beach clubs and infamous fine-dining restaurants.
Spot where you want to go on socials and find where you want to stay right here… Dubai is known for being somewhere to splash your cash, but it can still be about balance.
Where to stay in Dubai
Dubai is about luxury and adventure is at its heart – Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina boast some of the world’s most iconic attractions. Hotels in these areas range from ultimate five-star to more modest yet still-stylish stays – either way, you’re getting a pretty glamorous getaway here.
If you’re after a slice of the beach life, Jumeirah Beach is your go-to, featuring a stretch of golden sand that’s lined with upscale hotels. Here, you can bask in the sun by day and tick off trendy beach clubs and world-class dining by night.
For those seeking a more serene escape, the Palm Jumeirah offers an exclusive island experience with its high-end resorts and spas, ideal for couples or families looking for a quiet retreat.
Then, for the culture enthusiasts and shopaholics, the historic district of Al Fahidi offers a taste of Dubai’s rich heritage, with traditional markets and cultural experiences, complemented by charming boutique hotels.

FAQs
It depends on what you want to have nearby. Jumeirah is pure beachside and is one of Dubai’s most desirable districts. Even more sought after, Palm Jumeirah is a palm-shaped island, home to some of the glitziest properties. Or, Downtown Dubai is where it all happens. This area’s around the Burj Khalifa and marks the real city centre, with all the great attractions and loads of hotels for different budgets.
If we’re talking about reviews, you can get that answer straight away by ordering your search results by TripAdvisor rating. Or, select ‘filter results’ and select the hotel star and or the TripAdvisor rating you fancy to find the ultimate pick.
Prices aren’t fixed, so you could read this again in a year and our answer would have probably changed. The price of any trip depends on your departure dates, any offers valid at the time, your board basis and other holiday extras.
When it comes to budgeting, to keep it simple, you can narrow down your search by what you’re prepared to pay when looking through our deals pages. Pick your destination and dates, then order the results by ‘total price – low to high’ to start looking at the cheapest options.
Or, start with your budget first. Browse our Your Budget holidays to pick what you want to spend and get directed only to the deals that you can afford. You can also dive deeper into all our other picks – Last Minute, All Inclusive and more – and skip to the deals that are under £400 or £500 there, too.
The legal drinking age in Dubai is 21 years old and only licensed venues can sell alcohol. You can buy alcoholic drinks at bars, clubs and hotels but it’s forbidden to drink in unlicensed spots, like the streets, beaches and malls.
