This innovative destination has captialised on its guaranteed sunshine to create the perfect honeymoon playground for those who enjoy a touch of the high life. The sun shines 365 days of the year on the shimmering beachside city of Dubai in the Middle East. Spring has no recorded rainfall and is a balmy 32C.
Dubai is big on innovation with The Palms under construction, a vast stretch of reclaimed land in the shape of a palm tree to be housed with mega luxury villas. There are even plans for an enormous indoor ski resort. Enough stars flock to this millionaire’s playground to form a Milky Way. Orlando Bloom, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Charlotte Church and Venus and Serena Williams are just some of its frequent visitors.
Resorts like the One&Only Royal Mirage and Jumeirah Beach Hotel are honeymoon havens with romantic rooms, gourmet cuisine and heavenly spas. The Burj Al Arab classes itself as seven-star and if the amount of glitz and glamour are anything to go by, this could be true. Enjoy a drink in the hotel’s skybar with panoramic views of the coastline.
Shopping is legendary in Dubai from the gold souks to the designer stores. If you want to escape the city, head to the sands for a camel ride or a 4x4 adventure. Stay at the Al Maha luxury tented camp located in the majestic desert sands for a true honeymoon hideaway.
