From Burj Al Arab to Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab: where to stay in Dubai
Dubai has an exceptionally large number of 5-star hotels. The choice is overwhelming – which is exactly why personal advice from a specialist is indispensable. As your luxury travel specialist in Switzerland, our private travel designers know all of Dubai's leading hotels from personal experience and help you find the one that is right for you.
The Burj Al Arab is the symbol of Dubai – and one of the best-known buildings in the world. The sail-shaped tower on its own artificial island offers suites only, all of them on two levels. The round-the-clock butler service, breakfast overlooking the Persian Gulf and the underwater restaurant Al Mahara are among the most exclusive experiences the hotel world has to offer. The Burj Al Arab is not just a hotel – it is an experience everyone should have once in a lifetime.
Opened in 2025, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab extends the legendary Jumeirah estate with an exceptional luxury resort. Its curved architecture, inspired by the shape of a boat, and its setting on a private peninsula with direct sea views instantly make it one of the most exciting new addresses in Dubai. For couples who want to experience Dubai in a calm, exclusive atmosphere, the Marsa Al Arab is the first recommendation from Pink Travel.
The One&Only The Palm is located on Palm Jumeirah and offers a counterpoint to the urban intensity of the city: tranquil, exclusive, with one of the finest beaches in Dubai and a spa that ranks among the best in the Middle East. Pink Travel particularly recommends the One&Only to guests seeking a balanced mix of relaxation and city exploration.
If you would like to experience Dubai as more than a city destination, you will find two exceptional addresses in the desert just outside the city. The Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa is an all-inclusive nature reserve with private tented villas, each with its own infinity pool and unobstructed views of oryx herds. The Bab Al Shams Desert Resort offers a more accessible desert experience with excellent cuisine and traditional Arabian evening entertainment. Both resorts can be reached from the city centre in around 45 to 60 minutes.
The Four Seasons Jumeirah Beach is the best address for guests who want to experience Dubai at a classic beach hotel. Direct beach access, outstanding restaurants, an infinity pool and the incomparable Four Seasons service make it the most reliable luxury choice on the beach. Its location between Downtown Dubai and the Jumeirah Beach District makes exploring the city easy.
For a 7-day stay in Dubai, we recommend a split stay: 3 nights at the Burj Al Arab or Marsa Al Arab for the ultimate city experience, followed by 2 nights at the Al Maha Desert Resort for a desert contrast. This combination covers the full spectrum of what Dubai has to offer.
