The 12 Best Luxury and Boutique Hotels in Dubai, UAE - AFAR

"A serene seaside enclave within a larger resort complex, this property channels traditional Arabian architecture across intimate 'houses' set among tropical gardens and winding canals; wandering peacocks, central courtyards with fountains, complimentary daily cocktails, and easy access to family-friendly attractions (including a waterslide-filled park) create a relaxed, upscale beachside playground. Guests can also enjoy abra boat rides through the canals and visit neighboring conservation features such as a turtle rehabilitation lagoon." - Nicola Chilton
