Nine suites make up the refuge that is Capella Lodge. Beach-shack vibes, chic interiors and unfathomably, incredible views make this the paradise that it is. Treat yourself to a stay in the Makambo Loft, where a heated plunge pool overlooks Mount Gower and Lidgbird. 

The Mandarin Oriental in Jumeira is a stylish, urban resort overlooking the beautiful clear waters of the Arabian Gulf as well as Dubai's iconic skyline. The hotel's beachfront makes it extra special for those looking to dip and relax by the shore before heading to the glitz and glam of the city.

While it has now been turned into a restaurant, we love the original food truck the most. They're known for their 100% halal Wagyu beef burgers that are free-range, grass-fed and free of hormones, and are honestly the most heavenly burgers we have had.
