The Oberoi, Dubai, set in the city’s newly developed business district, Business Bay, can’t be beat for location. Minutes from Dubai International Financial Centre and the Dubai Mall, the hotel is a study in glass, sleek lines and modern décor. Each of the 252 elegant, generously proportioned guestrooms and suites basks in an abundance of natural light, courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling windows revealing the skyline and stunning Burj Khalifa skyscraper. Excellent dining venues include the hotel’s Nine7One, Umai and Ananta restaurants.

The high-tech fitness center is open 24 hours a day, and the plush spa features a selection of Touch Therapies such as Thai and Balinese massages, along with Ayurvedic wellness rituals including hot herbal poultice therapies and Padabhyanga, the Ayurvedic form of reflexology.

For something extra-special, choose one of the spa’s signature indigenous rituals. The two-hour Indian Magic ritual begins with a soothing Indian massage, followed by an herbal powder body scrub and a therapeutic bath with traditional herbs including lemongrass, turmeric, camphor and prai, botanically related to ginger. Enjoy complimentary yoga each morning, or laps in the outdoor infinity pool. Need something else? Round-the-clock butlers Les Clefs d’Or concierge service is ready to fulfill your request.
