Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab

The Marsa Al Arab is Dubai's newest shiny toy, because clearly, what this city was lacking was more opulence. Rates start around $1,200 a night. Sure, it’s not cheap, but hey, everything’s brand-spanking new, and you get to gaze longingly at the Burj Al Arab from much of the property.

Lucky for you, we’ve got some great friends there, so you’ll be treated like royalty while you’re there. Breakfast? Check. A $100 credit to spend on something undoubtedly overpriced? Double check. And for the cherry on top, an extra $50 per day after your third night and a guaranteed room upgrade – but only while it’s the new kid on the block. Don’t wait too long; that upgrade guarantee might vanish faster than you can say “artificial island.”

Jumeirah’s got plenty of other swanky spots scattered across the UAE, Middle East, Europe, and Asia, and we’ve got connections there too. Because why settle for luxury in just one time zone?
