"Anchored on its own seahorse-shaped island, the Bvlgari Resort stood out for its low-slung, villa-style layout that separates quiet beaches from a smart marina and includes the exclusive Bulgari Yacht Club; the design felt deliberately restrained compared with Dubai’s skyscraper canyons and emphasized an intimate island atmosphere." - Laura Ratliff
"A restrained, sophisticated beach retreat on a private island centered on a boutique marina and yacht club, offering a calm, grown-up atmosphere with palm-flanked pools, a powdery sandy beach, refined Italian cocktails, and high-end dining including a two-Michelin-starred Italian restaurant and a one-Michelin-starred sushi venue. Light-filled rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and a small collection of spacious one- to three-bedroom villas with private pools and gardens make this a go-to for privacy and discreet service." - Nicola Chilton
"Hōseki is a one MICHELIN star Japanese omakase restaurant. Six-generation sushi chef Masahiro Sugiyama and his team showcase incredible knife skills, offering a personalized and refined dining experience with fresh ingredients imported from Japan." - The MICHELIN Guide

"How did it strike you on arrival?For those of a philosophical disposition: an exquisite inquiry into the possibilities of traditional Middle Eastern architecture in the most hi-tech and post-modern city on earth. Bvlgari’s newest hotel offering—it opened in December 2017—is situated along the manmade Jumeirah Bay. Designed by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, the firm behind all of the Bvlgari properties, the chic resort has the feel of a Mediterranean village, featuring 101 rooms and suites, as well as 20 villas with pools and gardens. Nice. What’s the crowd like?Stylish UAE nationals mingling with wealthy Europeans, many of them Russian. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.All 101 rooms have a balcony with sea, marina, or skyline views. Heavy packers will appreciate the walk-in wardrobe. Hand-crafted Italian furniture is accented with natural materials like plush cashmere blankets and silk wall coverings. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.Bathrooms are clad in Carrara marble, but rain showers and freestanding tubs are the centerpiece. Bvlgari bath products, obviously. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Free and fast. Staff: If you could award one a trophy, who gets it, and why?For a new hotel, service is top-notch. Staff is warm, friendly, and willing to share personal recommendations and expertise. If money’s no object, splurge on one of 20 villas that includes private butler service. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.Kids are treated like VIPs with special mini-amenities, like robes, pajamas, bath products, and a custom wooden cot for infants. Bottom line: worth it, and why?With restaurants from Michelin-starred chefs, luxe amenities, and thoughtful staff, Dubai’s most expensive hotel delivers." - Laura Ratliff
