From shopping in the complex’s souk to tasting your way through the dozens of dining options, your days here are as full as your camera roll will be upon your return.

It’s made for everyone, but it is also made for you: designed specifically to provide you with everything you want from your time away in one convenient, lavishly luxurious location.

Join us as we break down the unique draws of this vast resort. This point-by-point guide covers the main benefits of Madinat Jumeirah as an accommodation option for couples, families, and friends — and why you should choose it for your next ultra-luxury holiday to Dubai.

Serene beachfront and waterways

Madinat Jumeirah enjoys over two kilometres of private beach along the Arabian Gulf and these pristine, exclusive stretches of sand are perfect for romantic strolls, snuggling up on the sand, and enjoying iconic skyline views at sunset. Meanwhile, within the resort itself, Gondola-style abra boats glide along the picturesque canals that wind between different parts of the complex, providing scenic rides and a nifty way to get around.

Fine dining and romantic culinary experiences

During your stay, you will have unhampered access to over 50 world-class restaurants across the complex. These diverse dining options range from international cuisines to local Emirati fare, including romantic, waterfront dining experiences, so you can try something new each night of your stay at Madinat Jumeirah and cater to different tastes (because even though you're in love, you don't have to love the same food).

For something even more special, why not indulge in a private dinner on the beach? Exclusive, intimate dining experiences under the stars, with personal butler service and beachfront settings, create the recipe for a truly magical evening. Perfect for a proposal or to celebrate your lives together thus far.

Rejuvenating couples' spa experiences

The award-winning Talise Spa boasts couples’ suites offering treatments like massages, facials, and traditional hammams. While you might think of a spa visit as a solitary pursuit, an afternoon of indulgence is a great way to slow down, relax, and reconnect. Plus, all that pampering will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for an intimate rendezvous.

Stunning pools and water facilities

As you'd expect from a resort of this scale, there are a myriad of different pool options, so you won't be short of places to sun yourselves or enjoy a dip together. Several adults-only and lagoon-style pools offer peaceful, romantic spots for relaxation and poolside service sans screaming toddlers and inflatable-floaties. Serene infinity pools melt into the horizon, creating a tranquil atmosphere for couples (and a spellbinding background for those smug holiday shots).

Scenic vistas

You can catch iconic views of the nearby Jumeirah Burj Al Arab from various locations within the resort, so cameras at the ready as this emblematic structure is eye-catching from every angle. However, you needn't look any further than your immediate surroundings for a scenic outlook, as lush gardens and palm-fringed landscapes dotted with intricate Arabian architecture create an idyllic backdrop for an evening stroll.
