20 fun facts we bet you didn't know about Bulgari Resort Dubai

Like you would expect at all Bulgari hotels and resorts, luxury is everywhere. Italian architecture firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel has carefully considered every aspect of designing the resort. The whole resort blends Italian notes, Mediterranean charm, and Middle Eastern touches throughout. The design is heavily influenced by the sea, from its coral reef crown to the oak wood planks that make it resemble a ship. 

This Bulgari Resort Dubai is a unique destination due to its exceptional location on a stretch of coastline on Jumeira Bay Island. It’s connected to the mainland by a 300-metre bridge, so you can still access the bright lights of the city but stay completely secluded on the exclusive resort when the mood takes you, too. 

The restaurant Hōseki seats just nine people, so you must be quick to get a reservation. The minimalist setting is a unique Omakase experience with chef Masahiro Sugiyama. Dishes are created based on the preferences of those sitting at the table, so no two meals are ever the same. The intimate room overlooks the stunning Dubai skyline whilst you enjoy the best and freshest ingredients. 

Niko Romito serves Italian fare in this romantic setting with dramatic black ceilings that look like you’re dining under the stars and raised banquettes that provide stunning views of the Arabian Coast.
