Three's a charm in Dubai

Indulge in the gastronomic wizardry of Nobuyuki Matsuhisa (of Nobu fame) and the FZN by Björn Frantzén tasting menu. At El Fuego’s fabulous fiesta, acrobats and flaming hoop artists reign supreme, while at Ossiano, only breathtaking underwater views detract from the indulgent dishes.

Guests luxuriating in The Palace suites might choose an exclusive, indulgent dining experience, during which the lively company of loved ones amplifies enjoyment of fine food; perhaps on the moonlit sands of a secluded beach, or in the comfort of a luxury villa, with a restaurant-hopping menu served by candlelight.

Head away from the city lights into the desert. Here, guests are rewarded, ravenous after days filled with nomadic-inspired activities, with bespoke meals under the stars. At Al Hadheerah, theatrical, Arabian open-air dining has a supporting cast of dancers, musicians and camel riders. Heady aromas of flamegrilled seafood and hot mezze fill the warm night air, and tender lamb ouzi is cooked in the authentic, time-honoured way.
