D
ubai is inarguably the
world’s most luxurious
destination. A billion-dollar
destination for luxury, the
Emirate has it all and more -
goldenbeaches,ice-coolskyscrapers
and restaurants to die for. Despite
economic challenges facing the
GCC region, Dubai continues to be
one of the most popular holiday
destinations in the world and its
share of the global luxury tourism
market continues to impress. So
it’s no surprise really that Dubai,
which was recently voted as the
world’s most cosmopolitan city, has
seen its profile as a luxury tourist
destination rise phenomenally in
the last decade, a distinction the
Emiratis deliberately set out to
achieve.
Statistics tell a compelling tale.
At the end of 2015, Dubai had
over 90 five star hotel properties
with over 31,000 rooms, equating
to almost a third of all hotel
room inventory in the city,
which further underlines the
destination’s propensity to appeal
to a strong luxury travel segment.
And although Dubai continues
to develop offerings to appeal to
a more diverse visitor segment
as it looks to meet its target of 20
million visitors per year by 2020,
it is premium experiences (no
matter what the budget) that will
still be the hallmark of what Dubai
epitomises.
The Emirate is swarming with
contemporary, glossy hotels that
hide some of the most impressive
surrounds you are likely to
encounter on a city break. Their
sumptuous interior décor ranges
from the chic neutral tones of the
Armani Hotel Dubai, to the rich,
Bedouin style suites of the Al Maha
Resort and everything in between.
Consider the iconic seven-
star hotel, Burj Al Arab, which
was recently named the world’s
most popular hotel for celebrity
spotting by the UK’s ‘Daily Mail’.
Guests at this super luxurious
hotel can expect a gold-plated,
24-carat gold iPad upon arrival.
Engraved specifically with the
hotel’s logo, this iPad functions as
a ‘virtual concierge’. At the touch
of the button once can access both
information and the extensive
selection of hotel services, such
as the Guest Services Directory,
detailed descriptions of Burj Al
Arab’s restaurant options and spa
menu, as well as private dining,
butler and housekeeping services.
Of course all this pampering and
dreamy indulgence comes at a
high price. The One Bedroom Suite
starts at AED 10,000 (USD 2,700)
per night and the most luxurious
Royal Suite is AED 70,000 (USD
19,000) per night.
For beach living it doesn’t get
much better than the famous One
& Only Palm Dubai, which sits
perched along the peninsula of
the city’s artificial archipelago, the
Palm Jumeirah, this hotel is one of
the city’s most elegant offerings. It
offers everything one could wish
for from a holiday of a lifetime,
dining at the hands of a Michelin
starred chef, a private white sandy
beach, panoramic views across the
ocean, sparkling swimming pools,
and a plush spa.
More recently, one of New
York’s most historic and luxurious
hotel chains, the St Regis, began
operating in Dubai, boasting 234
rooms, 52 of which are suites.
The crown jewel of the hotel is its
Imperial Suite. Spread across two
floors and 913 square metres, the
three-bedroom accommodation
contains a living room, a dining
room, a study, an Arabic-style
majlis lounge with a spiral
staircase leading to the hotel’s
domed roof and swimming pool.
Beingadutyfreeparadise,Dubai
is tailor-made for shopaholics, with
a lavish selection of malls that
are home to some of the world’s
most coveted names, from Jimmy
Choo, Giorgio Armani, Versace,
Prada, Gucci and Valentino. A
day of luxury shopping can be
interspersed with lunch at some
superb restaurants, which boast
menus of fragrant fresh truffles,
sumptuous saffron flavours,
exclusive Prunier caviar and the
very finest champagne.
Clearly, Dubai is witnessing
robust spending on luxury goods
and experiences, reflecting an
overall regional trend. Whoever
said that ‘the best things in life
are free’ obviously hasn’t been to
Dubai. While there’s no denying
that money can’t buy everything,
there are plenty of things you can do
only with a fat purse. If you got the
moolah, here’s bang for your buck.
The DefiniTive
LuxuryDesTinaTionFrom its architectural marvels to a thriving modern art scene,
shopping malls, five star hotels, glitzy restaurants, bars, boutiques
and fashion, you will definitely find a slice of the high life in Dubai.
A
helicopter tour of Dubai is a
privilege for only those with
well-lined pockets. Being a
city with luxury at its core, the
best way to enjoy it is from the
air. While driving through the city’s
streets is one way to explore, there is
no comparison to viewing the awesome
layout of this city from the air, where
many of its iconic developments and
ever-changing skyline are best viewed.
A scenic aerial flight over Dubai is
an experience of a lifetime, giving
viewers a unique perspective of this
luxurious city from the sky.
You can choose from a 15 or 25 minute
helicopter flight. With an experienced
pilot at the controls, settle into a
5-passenger luxury helicopter and
swoop over sites such as Atlantis The
Palm, Burj Al Arab, and the ‘Golden
Mile’. Fly along the Persian Gulf coast
and across World Islands. Hotel pick-up
and drop-off are included on your tour.
Catering to the increased demand
for helicopter services in the Emirate,
a number of licensed tour companies
provide wonderfully scenic tours of
different parts of Dubai

Flavours to
savour
From luxury to tradition, from fashion to electronics, Dubai is
truly a shopper’s paradise with a plethora of options offering
virtually everything money can buy.
The restaurants in Dubai are not simply somewhere to eat,
but destinations for stunning décor, amazing views and
unforgettable culinary experiences.
La Petite Maison
Cuisine Type: Mediterranean
Two restaurants in Dubai have
made this year’s coveted ‘World’s
Best Restaurants’ list, and one of
those is La Petite Maison, a relaxed
establishment with a Cote d’Azur feel
serving a mix of southern French
and Italian cuisine. Located in Dubai
International Financial Centre
(DIFC), this restaurant’s cooking
style belongs to ‘old Genoese’, serving
Mediterranean dishes. Local produce,
notably artichokes, courgettes,
lemons, olives, tomatoes and peppers
are mix-matched with sea food, meat
and fresh pasta to produce a style
that’s light and healthy. The menu
must be one of Dubai’s largest as it
boasts 28 starters, 24 main courses
and 10 dessert
Buddha Bar
Cuisine Type: Oriental
Located at the heart of the Dubai Marina, inside
the luxurious Grosvenor House, this majestic
two-storied restaurant is one of the largest from
among Buddha-Bars worldwide. The dining
room is impressively spacious, with sumptuous
overhanging red and gold chandeliers. The large bay
windows provide an exceptional view of the Marina,
offering guests a great dining experience. The bar
is famed for its unique food, eclectic atmosphere
and Asian lounge music. The restaurant serves a
fusion of sushi, Chinese and Thai food. There is an
outdoor terrace for al fresco dining and astounding
views of the Burj Khalifa. In only a few years, this
hip nightlife hotspot has become the place to be for
Dubai’s stylish crowds.
Nobu

sake lounge, with stylish surroundings, including private
areas for more intimate gatherings. Cooking classes are

Al Mahara
Cuisine Type: Seafoood
Located on the lower level of the iconic Burj Al Arab,
Al Mahara is an intimate and romantic restaurant
with a stunning central aquarium. Michelin-starred
British chef Nathan Outlaw brings his luxuriously
laidback approach to seafood to Dubai. The restaurant
is not underwater and neither is the ‘submarine’
that takes you there real, but nonetheless, it is an
extraordinary and unique experience dining within
the vast aquarium that sets the scene. While the
signature dishes emphasise the power of simplicity,
the flavours of the finest ingredients speak for
themselves. What better way to savour the experience
than soaking in the atmosphere at one of the new
open air waterfront patio tables?
The Dubai Mall
The Dubai Mall is home to just about every major
fashion brand in the world including designer

elite fashion names, and aficionados will be spoilt
for choice as they match and accessorise to their
heart’s content. The Dubai Mall has a total area of
12.1 million sq. ft. (equivalent in size to more than
50 football pitches), making it the world’s largest
shopping mall. Need we say more?

its 33rd anniversary
with a special 25%

18th December and continued
until midnight on the operation’s
anniversary day on 20th December.
Total sales for the three days topped
US$44.33 million.
The decision to extend the annual
celebration beyond the one day was
due to the high passenger traffic
expected over the pre-Christmas
holiday. The anniversary discount
for 72 hours resulted in a spending
spree at Dubai International and
at Al Maktoum International with
sales figures on 18th December
reaching US$9.67 million and
US$9.01 million on 19th December.
On the anniversary day itself, 20th
December, DDF daily sales reached
US$25.6 million in the 24-hour
period.
From a category point of view,
perfume was the highest selling
category with sales of US$6.93
million, followed by watches and
cosmetics
Colm McLoughlin, Executive
Vice Chairman & CEO of DDF

nearly 102,493 sales transactions
alone on 20th December.
The DDF anniversary promotion
is now a highly-anticipated event
with many travellers choosing to
