Adventures & Activities
Discover the best of Dubai, on sand, sea and bustling city streets
A resort and city of discovery
Secluded on the sandy shores of the Arabian Gulf, our world-class resort has no shortage of activities, both on and off site. Play a round of golf at one of the region’s celebrated courses, or take the plunge and try water skiing and kayaking from our stretch of beach. Reserve one of our intimate excursions to see Dubai from an insider’s perspective – from the rolling dunes of the Dubai desert, to the city’s traditional bazaars.
Lose yourself
Among the dunes
A natural phenomenon, Dubai’s deserts will captivate and intrigue. Let us show you the secrets behind the dunes, retracing the steps of the Bedouins. Climb aboard your camel and join the caravan to a sunset mezze and falconry demonstration. Our local guides will show you a side of Dubai you’ll never forget.
Find your thrill
A city of record-breakers, Dubai will take you to new heights. From the incredible sky-high observation deck of the world’s tallest structure, the Burj Khalifa, to the breathtaking experience of sky-diving over the Dubai Marina, there’s something to push your limits.
THRILLING WATER SPORTS
In the Arabian Sea
Embrace the Arabian Gulf’s calm seas and sunny weather with an array of water sports, including complimentary kayaking and rowing for our guests. Those who want to go a little faster, try your hand at water skiing and learn to slalom through the wakes. Once you come back to shore, there’s always time for a game of beach volleyball or three.
