Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi

Just a ninety-minute drive away from Dubai, in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi’s spectacular Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi is a destination in itself. Stretching a kilometre in length from wing to wing, this incredible family-friendly resort is an Arabian landmark set beside a private 1.3 kilometre beach. From the 85-hectares of manicured gardens, mesmerising fountains and walking trails outside, to the 114 distinct domes, fine marble and 1,000 chandeliers on the inside, this is no ordinary hotel! Revel in the extraordinary interiors, laze in the extensive grounds and marvel at the incredible yachts moored at the marina! With pristine beach, beach club, a waterpark plus award-winning restaurants and butlers – not-to-mention an auditorium and ballroom – this is luxurious Arabian hospitality on the very grandest of scales.
