7. Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach
This magnificent beachfront property features two pools (one for adults only) as well as 11 tantalizing restaurants and lounges with views of the tranquil waves of the Arabian Gulf on one side and the glittering Dubai skyline on the other.
8. The Bulgari Resort & Residence Dubai
The brainchild of renowned Milan-based architectural partnership Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, this private island refuge located off the coast of Dubai is inspired by an affluent Mediterranean hamlet and was designed with the same level of artistry and accuracy as a Bulgari jewelry piece. Displays of heritage Bulgari jewels match rare raw materials such as green onyx from Iran and Mongolian black granite. A tranquil outdoor pool, a beach club with views of the Burj Khalifa, and a lavish spa are among the amenities. The sleek Il Ristorante by three Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito, which overlooks the shimmering marina, highlights.
