To a Land Unknown 

NotFound

This was a hotel stay like we have never experienced before. It was pure bliss from start to finish. The moment we arrived we were captivated by the stunning Arabian architecture and lush gardens that instantly made us feel like we had entered a private oasis. Our room was extremely spacious and luxurious, with a balcony offering beautiful views of the iconic Palm Marina. The food was incredible, especially the breakfast, and the private beach felt like our own slice of paradise. What really stood out to us though, was the attentive service - the team went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. We left feeling completely relaxed and we will absolutely be returning. 

An unforgettable 5 Days in Dubai

One&Only Royal Mirage

Cloud22, perched high above the city, offers stunning views and a lively atmosphere that perfectly complements its chic vibe

Yesterday we went to Cloud 22 and here is a summary of our experience:

1. The location is spectacular. We booked a double daybed and were satisfied with our choice of sun-beds. However, not all sun-beds have such great views and enough shade.
2. The service was amazing. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and tentative. We were taken very good care of.
3. The food was disappointing. It is average with no real flavours, and overpriced for the quality. The menu provides limited choices.
4. The music was far too loud based on where we were seated and not adequate for such a great location. I got a headache from all the beat.

My recommendation: change the DJ, get much better food with more choices, get more umbrellas and then Cloud 22 could become an amazing place & experience

Our experience at Cloud 22 was nothing short of amazing! Although the food and cocktails can be on the expensive side, they occasionally offer complimentary upgrades. We had booked sunbeds, but to our delight, were upgraded to a luxurious double bed at no extra cost—such a thoughtful touch!

The venue boasts three beautiful public pools. One is located at the back, offering stunning ocean views, another is near the bar, and the main infinity pool provides breathtaking views of the city skyline. Each pool offers its own unique vibe, and you’ll never run out of incredible views.

We chose the midday package, arriving after 14:00 and staying until 19:00. This allowed us to experience Cloud 22 in three different lights—during the bright afternoon, the golden hour of sunset, and the dazzling night when the venue lights up beautifully. It felt like we got three experiences in one!

What made the atmosphere even more special was the live DJ, whose music perfectly suited the vibe of the day. The beats added a unique touch, making the whole experience even more unforgettable.

An added perk is the ability to walk around the first floor of Atlantis The Palm and book a cup of coffee in the lobby. The view from there is magical, with the beach, fountains, and guest house creating a beautiful scene in the backyard of the resort.

All in all, Cloud 22 is a fantastic place to relax, enjoy luxurious amenities, and soak in the views, making it well worth the price. Highly recommended!

This pool / pool club is located in Royal Atlantis and has the most spectacular view! Lots of sunbeds and cabanas for the ultimate luxury experience, service was good and food as well. Please be aware there is a limited number for the front facing sunbeds, so make sure you know which side you have booked. As for the food , I orders burrata with truffle, sliders and lobster, loved it all !

White Beach at The Atlantis provided a perfect blend of relaxation and fun, with its pristine sands and lively ambiance. 

Had brunch here and loved it. Super light, beachy and cool atmosphere. Loved the food it was a very good spread of food, meats, seafood and healthy options that were satisfying. Also enjoyed the pool, peach and the beach beds. Perfect place to spend a sunday

Such a gorgeous spot for sunbathing and cool vibes!! Music is amazing, friendly staff and the best cocktails in Dubai! Defo worth a visit! Also the most instagramable place ever!

Let’s start with the positives: The food at White Beach was very good, and the mocktails were also delicious. The service was friendly and efficient, with a special mention to Sean, who stood out for his friendliness and efficiency.

Unfortunately, the overall experience was soured by the deafening volume of the music. It was impossible to hold a conversation, and when looking around, it seemed like everyone was glued to their phones to save their voices. After almost an hour, I left with a headache and a sore throat.

This is definitely not a place to go if you plan to talk and enjoy a relaxed meal. I will not be returning until the volume is addressed. I strongly recommend that the restaurant management consider creating different areas with more moderate sound levels, especially in the dining section, instead of maintaining one consistently loud volume throughout the venue.

WHITE Beach Dubai

An unforgettable adventure, allowing us to explore the stunning dunes while learning about the rich Bedouin culture.

Wow, just wow. The conservation guides took care of us from start till the end. Don't let the price stop you from taking up this tour. It is one of the best decisions we have taken. The camel ride across the desert was nothing short of magical. The falconry show was informative, and when you are brought to the camp, you will be transported into another world, one of traditional arabian culture. The food served was good as well. We enjoyed it (the activities & the food). Recommended! Thank you, and well done, Platinum Heritage!

We had an incredible experience with Platinum Heritage in Dubai. Our tour guide was extremely friendly and punctual, picking us up right on time. He provided fascinating insights into Dubai and the desert, making the experience even more enriching. The vehicle was spotless and very comfortable.

Everything about the evening was perfect! The weather in mid-October was pleasant, but if you’re considering staying overnight, I’d recommend going after mid-November, as the rooms only have fans, making them a bit warm.

The 4-course meal was a highlight. It started with a delicious soup and fresh bread, followed by a fantastic selection of appetizers with authentic Arabic flavors. The main courses, including lamb, chicken, camel, and vegetarian options, were beautifully prepared. Although I didn’t have room for dessert, they served fresh-cut seasonal fruits and Arabic sweets. They also offered plenty of non-alcoholic drinks, and the shisha added a fun, relaxing touch to the night.

Camel riding and henna painting were also a lot of fun, giving us a full taste of traditional desert experiences. The falconry demonstration was both interesting and informative.

This tour is perfect for couples and families, offering a positive and welcoming atmosphere with very friendly and helpful staff. What sets it apart is its focus on authenticity—there’s no belly dancing or alcohol, so if that’s what you’re looking for, this might not be the right choice, but it’s 100% worth it for the cultural immersion.

The only downside was the dance performance. Based on the videos, I had expected more, but there were only two dancers, which didn’t feel enough for an Arabic dance show.

Despite that, I highly recommend the tour for its unique, enriching experience!

Impressive, well organized, totally worth it.
Booked camel safari and dinner.
It was important to me to get the feeling that it is ecological acceptable.
The camels looked ok and the guides treated them well.
We feeled safe during the whole tour.

Platinum Heritage Desert Camp

the Lost Chambers Aquarium was a mesmerising journey through underwater tunnels filled with vibrant marine life, captivating both young and old alike.

After a day in the Aquaventure, we went over to the Aquarium. It was very well designed and decorated. Tons of fish to see that you will not find in your everyday zoo. I felt like I missed a turn or as I was expecting something even more extraordinary which we couldn’t find. So it was a nice stroll but somehow missing the „big bang“. Overall enjoyable visit, though. 😊

Decent price and amazing experience. There were many exhibitions, as well as there being a very nice ecosystem. The sealife was amazing and the crowd levels were very low in the evening. Would recommend to anyone located near the Palm Jumeirah.

I recently visited The Lost Chambers Aquarium at Atlantis, Dubai, and it was an unforgettable experience. As the largest private aquarium, it’s beautifully designed with mesmerizing marine life and an immersive atmosphere. Every tank is well-maintained, and the overall ambiance is both serene and captivating. Located in the iconic Atlantis Hotel, this aquarium offers a unique glimpse into the underwater world. It’s truly a must-see attraction in Dubai—something you need to witness firsthand to fully appreciate its beauty and scale.

Our time at The View at The Palm was an unforgettable experience that left us in awe of Dubai's stunning skyline, the innovation and the breathtaking beauty of the Palm Jumeirah.

This was my best Dubai experience. The view was absolutely breathtaking. The palm, Burj ul Arab, the blue sea, and all the other lovely buildings. The breeze coupled with the view made it an ethereal experience. Although it's a bit pricey like everything else in Dubai, it's totally worth it. The lift that takes u up is totally smooth and fast. The videos about the Palms construction were fun and informative, too. I was lucky  I didn't face a very long queue.
A must do in Dubai.

The View at The Palm offers a breathtaking, panoramic experience of Dubai’s iconic Palm Jumeirah. Located 240 meters above ground, the observation deck provides stunning 360-degree views of the Palm, the Arabian Gulf, and the city’s glittering skyline. Whether visiting during the day or at sunset, the vistas are unforgettable, giving you a unique perspective of Dubai’s remarkable architecture and coastline.

Beyond the views, the experience is smooth and well-organized, with interactive displays that explain the creation of Palm Jumeirah, adding depth to the visit. If you're looking to witness Dubai's beauty from above, The View at The Palm is a must-see destination that leaves a lasting impression.

Slightly expensive tickets and not a very well-designed place. We paid tickets for a certain time-frame and were 30 minutes late, and were forced into changing the ticket through an identity check, which wasted almost an hour of our time. The experience was mostly OK, but there could be many improvements, as the view was blocked by many pillars and it was very overcrowded. They should set up a limit on how many people can enter the place at once. However, it is a nice experience in terms of atmosphere and location.

The View at the Palm

a beautiful spot in the marina with views of the canal. 

Asia Asia, located in Pier 7 at Dubai Marina, is a fantastic spot for a night out. The ambiance is top-notch, with beautiful and well-thought-out decor that sets the perfect mood for an elegant dining experience. The food is excellent, offering a great variety of flavors that are sure to satisfy any palate. The service is equally impressive—attentive and professional, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Its location in Dubai Marina is ideal, with easy access to parking at Marina Mall, which is very convenient. Overall, Asia Asia is a wonderful place to dine, combining great food, excellent service, and a stunning setting. Highly recommended!

A very nice dining experience in Dubai Marina the atmosphere inside was great but the music was a bit too loud for my taste it was difficult having a conversation inside but the dining area was nicely decorated. The staff were friendly and helpful although I did find them trying to upsell a lot. Food was actually very good they had an interesting selection of dishes and I was left quite satisfied. Overall a great restaurant that’s worth a visit

Food is excellent. I tried the Tempura sushi and and half duck. The duck is highly recommend it, and the sushi were in great portion size (8 peaces).
The reception attitude was not the best and they were unwelcoming somehow (took a star for that) But if you pass that experience, you will enjoy your time inside the restaurant. My waitress Susmita, was very nice and has great recommendations. Thanks Susmita.
If you are with you kids, know, the music a load (I wish they can lower the volume a little bit). A little noisy to my taste.

A stand out meal however was at Nobu in Atlantis - honestly, it was unlike anything we’ve ever had before. Now we understand why it's so highly rated. It was definitely a treat-yourself kind of night,
but totally worth it! 

We made a reservation online, prepayment is needed to secure a table but upon arrival few tables remained empty for the entire night. I believe coming unannounced can work.
We got a really nice table and we loved the view on the Palm. I always order in cuisine like this a cod fish, this one here I can say in top 3 I had in my life. My boyfriend had a miso soup, sushi and some tacos, he was delighted.
The cocktail menu is different but I had to try Passion fruit martini of course, I had better but loved it anyway. The service was amazing, our waiter hosted us as we were VIPs and we got a desert on the house. You have to try it - their signature fried pastry filled with a chocolate cream. Compliments to him, we wont forget that night and because of his friendliness and hospitality we will be back for sure. Thank you Stefan!

What a wonderful experience, overall at Nobu!.

Their cocktail menu is different with a lot of unique drinks to choose from. The staff know the cocktail menu well enough to be able to make a good suggestion about what you might like to try, based on what type of alcohol is your preference. The cocktails were very good.

The service was spot on, Our waiter, Mario, was friendly but remained professional. It was a pleasure to dine with his service.

And on to the best part, the food.

The food was absolutely faultless. Everything was cooked really well, beautifully prepared and presented with such finesse.

But in particular, there was something very special about the Prawn dumpling, the Duck breast and the Rice and vegetable side dish. These were out standing.

We will definitely be back in the near future. And Nobu will be our new restaurant to recommend to friends.

Went to various Nobu’s location and this one is my favorite. The place is really nice. We were 8 and we got « upgraded » to a semi private room with no minimum spending per person. Staff was really kind and professional. I can only recommend this place if you are in Dubai. No need to talk about the food…
