Nurai Island Hotel is an uninhabited natural island in the Arabian Gulf just ten minutes by boat from Saadiyat Island. And while it’s certainly one of the most luxurious beach escapes in the Middle East, you shouldn’t take our word for it – this five star resort has won awards for the “Best Boutique Hotel Arabia” “Leading Luxury Villa Resort” in the World Travel Awards. Just 32 low-rise villas are scattered throughout the resort, each with a private pool and outdoor space with views of the Arabian Gulf. Soak up the beach club atmosphere and relax on the crescent-shaped beach, treat yourself to an invigorating treatment at Nurai Spa or hop on a boat and be in downtown Dubai in under an hour. If you’re travelling with little ones, the kids’ club caters for youngsters with special games, food and drink tailored to suit their age. No matter what fits into your idea of the “perfect island paradise”, the eventful programme of activities will have something for you – whether it’s an outdoor movie night, sunrise beach boot camp session or a sunset yoga lesson.
