Delano Dubai 

Modern elegance

After making its mark in Miami, the Delano brand has branched out in Dubai, bringing an extra dose of luxury to the sparkling shores of the Arabian Gulf.

Encased by azure Arabian waters with Dubai’s dazzling skyline in the distance, Delano boasts a picture-perfect location on Bluewaters Island. When you’re not sinking your toes in the 250-metre stretch of sugar-white sand in front of you, there’s also two beautiful pools for mid-sunbathe soaks and world-class dining destinations to please even the most meticulous of foodies. Its interior is equally as jaw-dropping with a luxurious modern design and a soothing neutral colour palette. And if you can drag yourself away, all of Dubai’s must-dos are just a stone’s throw from this swanky resort.

Why we love Delano Dubai

  • Despite feeling secluded, it’s got a prime location on Bluewaters Island with hotspots including Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah within easy reach.

  • Foodies will be in heaven here with a range of exceptional dining destinations to choose from. A half-board dine-around option means you can also indulge at Banyan Tree next door.

  • It’s equally as perfect for a romantic sun-soaked getaway as it is for some family fun with a kid’s club on hand for when you fancy a break.

  • Set along 250 metres of breathtaking beachfront makes it the ideal place for some R&R.

Dining options here are second-to-none. From an Amalfi-inspired Italian to a traditional Japanese teahouse and an ‘elegant street food’ restaurant, they’ve taken ‘something for everyone’ quite literally. Feel-good La Cantine Beach is your go-to for light (and healthy) bites in the sun. Although, Delano Pool’s sandwich and salad offering is just as enticing. Swanky nights call for swanky meals and Michelin Guide 2023’s Best Japanese, TakaHisa certainly fits the bill. If that’s not your thing though, there’s also a Mediterranean, French, Chinese and Slavic-inspired restaurant too. As for the last stop of the night, nothing beats Rose Bar. Pull up a seat, order a cocktail and soak up the atmosphere.
