For those looking for contemporary culture with an invigorating dose of family escapism, you’d do well to twin Dubai and Mauritius.
Tucked away on the West Crescent tip of Palm Jumeirah Island, One&Only The Palm offers a secluded, frangipani-scented contrast to the skyscrapers and superlatives for which Dubai is known. This quiet, lowrise, boutique-style hideaway has a charmingly calming ambience, although the ante is upped during the gastronomic dramatics you’ll enjoy together at two Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alleno’s STAY.
Fly on to the grande dame of the Mauritian hotel scene and a hotspot for Hollywood stars of the 1970s; One&Only Le Saint Géran. It’s a place that, despite its opulence and exemplary service, feels like home; receptionist Preetham has worked here since the hotel’s opening in 1975. Families can zip from the airport by helicopter, languish in villas with private pools and lush gardens, and trek with passionate, knowledgeable Mauritian Wildlife Foundation eco-rangers through protected nature reserves.

The finest diningDubai is a destination eager to attract attention, but here it’s for all the right reasons. One&Only’s tastefully opulent offering is the place to tune out from daily distractions and indulge any selfish desires; with exclusive treatments at one of only six Guerlain hotel spas and experimental gastronomic dramatics at two Michelin-starred Chef Yannick Alleno’s STAY, this is an easy and polished approach to Dubai’s usual extravagance.

Desert dreamingFor an insight into Dubai’s sandy roots, an overnight desert safari cruising through the Desert Conservation Reserve in a classic 1950s Land Rover comes close; picture camel rides, henna tattoos, live bread making and a traditional performance by locals. As the sun sets, dinner is served in an authentic Bedouin camp, while the morning welcomes caviar breakfast and hot-air balloon ride complete with a world-first in-air falconry display – an art that’s been part of desert life here for hundreds of years.

Complete with private gardens, immersive outdoor showers and an adults-only pool, after a day spent blissfully lounging on one of the oversized daybeds between bespoke treatments, returning to the real world will seems near impossible
