In the heart of the Dubai Marina district, the iconic Ritz Carlton offers an exclusively unique holiday experience. With just under 300 guest rooms, the expansive property offers a secluded feel allowing guests plenty of space to relax and unwind. For the last fifteen years (that’s right, fifteen…in Dubai years, that puts the Ritz at the forefront of holiday properties in the city), this luxury resort has offered a truly classic Arabian style and architecture. From the fresh scent of bakhoor wafting through the lobby to the gorgeous Mashrabiya, all details compliment the rich heritage and history of the Arabian culture.

The RC property boosts five lovely pools, including one adults-only area, as well as 350 meters of sandy beach overlooking the Arabian gulf, where you can in fact take a beach front ride on a camel! The Spa takes luxury to a whole new level with a secluded pool and terrace, relaxation lounges, a dedicated ‘hammam’ area, as well as a variety of other amenities…stay tuned, a review to come!

As per the standard in Dubai, the hospitality and customer service at the Ritz Carlton were unparalleled–we were escorted and greeted throughout the property with friendly and welcoming faces! It’s incredible how an entire city can absolutely win at customer service.

Steps away from the RC, is the mega-popular The Walk at JBR, a beachfront promenade of cafes, dining, and shopping. Also, within a quick walk, is the Dubai Marina. I will include that transportation throughout Dubai is super reasonable and we found it very easy to explore via taxi! See more of what we loved in Dubai here.
