which then opens up onto a large furnished terrace. For those who want to focus on their well-being, there is The Pearl Spa, with signature treatments featuring some of the most prestigious brands, and a 140 square-metre swimming pool, surmounted by a glass canopy, in addition to the two well-equipped 600 and 850 square-metre outdoor pools. Then, there are seven restaurants and lounge bars, to meet every need and taste, not to mention the Restaurant Village, which is located in front of the entrance to the resort, with various famous names among Dubai’s restaurants, including the Italian eatery Scalini.

BVLGARI RESORT DUBAI

We return to a man-made island, this time Jumeira Bay, famous for its striking seahorse shape. An urban retreat covering 158,000 m2 - with a Beach Club and Bvlgari’s first ever Marina and Yacht Club - that provides guests with the priceless feeling of being in a private home, while only being a few kilometres from the busy city centre. The architecture, as designed for all Bvlgari hotels and resorts by the Italian firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and inspired by the scintillating nature of the ocean, reflects in all its elements the singular attention to detail that distinguishes the gems of the renowned Roman maison, pairing rare materials by colour, texture and feel, above all the typical combination of black granite and travertine. Bringing the charm of a refined Mediterranean-style village under the Middle Eastern sky, also courtesy of the impressive gardens that surround the property and the extraordinary well-lit pools. 101 rooms and suite, plus 20 private villas, split into five types that stand out due to the sheer number of rooms and the possibility of adjoining them. Among these, the crowning jewel is the 540 m2 Bvlgari Villa, with a lush personal garden that occupies just as much ground and the outdoor pool. A haven within a haven, The Bvlgari Spa offers a vast range of professional rituals, with eight treatment rooms and an ocean-view pool. The Made in Italy style continues in an extremely curated culinary offering, styled in this case as for all Bvlgari hotels by the three Michelin-star chef Niko Romito, whose restaurant is adjacent to the elegant Bar, a place to be for bespoke cocktail lovers, in addition to the Hōseki Restaurant for all those wishing to take a journey into the aromas and flavours of Japan.

He’s also the name behind the eclectic interior design at Rockfish, the famous restaurant on the resort’s beach, one of its 11 restaurants, 7 of which are managed by the Jumeirah Group and 4 by third par-

ONE&ONLY THE PALM

Situated at the farthest end of the West Crescent of The Palm, One&Only The Palm can be accessed by boat or along a picturesque winding avenue, which immediately catapults you away from the hectic pace of a dynamic city like Dubai. Inspired by the architecture of the Moorish palaces of Andalusia, such as the striking Alhambra in Granada, the last to be built by the Muslim emirs in Spain, the resort is a cross between Middle Eastern influences and a contemporary neutral-tone palette. The charm is evident in the quadrangular design of the One&Only Spa, with the fountain in the courtyard. Everything has been reworked for the demands of the modern globetrotter. The feeling of privacy and comfort is heightened by the 450 metres of private beach and the choice only to provide 90 rooms and suites, plus four opulent villas on the beach. Overseeing the three restaurants is the three Michelin-star chef Yannick Alléno, while prestigious partnerships also reign with exclusive treatments at the Guerlain Spa (the only one in the United Arab Emirates), the Bastien Gonzalez beauty salon and the Zouari Hair Salon.

ARMANI HOTEL DUBAI

Let’s go to the vibrant downtown Dubai to visit another Made-in-Italy excellence, the Armani Hotel Dubai, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in October, just like its ‘twin’ in Milan, with a huge fashion show that toured the world. Everything here screams of the Giorgio Armani style, including the highly personal and personalized approach to hotel guests, who find a home

away from home, thanks also to the Lifestyle Manager who assists them during their stay. 40,000 square meters of contemporary luxury, with 160 rooms and suite rooms decorated with custom-made fabrics and furniture ( this is where the expertise of a brand that deals with design in addition to high fashion comes into play), with view over the sparkling waters of the Persian Gulf and the Dubai Fountain. The culinary experience ranges from the best of Italian cuisine, with the Armani/Ristorante, to Indian cuisine and Mediterranean food and more continental flavors. Last but least, balance, a keyword of the Armani style, is at the core of the philosophy of the Hotel’s Spa, which offers custom-made DUBAI IS A CITY treatments designed to meet any FIT FOR DREAMS, CAPABLE OF need.
