With its many ultra-luxury properties, Dubai enjoys a prestigious standing on the global hotel scene. Blending traditional Arab influences with cutting-edge design, here is our selection of spa hotels in Dubai—five jewels whose spas are among the Middle East’s most renowned.
Park Hyatt Dubai
Nestled within the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, the Park Hyatt enjoys a prime location along the Khor Dubai inlet, with a private beach on Twiggy Lagoon and four expansive pools, including a 25-meter pool.
By night, the city lights shimmer and seem to never sleep. Less rooted in Islamic architecture, this five-star property leans into luxurious modernity with Moorish and Mediterranean influences, pairing airy, uncluttered spaces with designer furnishings that appeal to seasoned travelers.
Comprising 233 rooms and 34 suites, the refined setting attracts guests with its 18-hole golf course, chic vacation-club-style fitness facilities, and standout restaurants: Asado (a steakhouse), Noépe (a light, seasonal menu), Cinnamon Club (Indian cuisine), and Thai Kitchen (Thai flavors). As for the spa, it’s one of Dubai’s most acclaimed. Notably for treatments like the Red Carpet facial and the Amara Signature. Guests especially love the suites with private interior courtyards where outdoor showers are possible.
Bvlgari Resort Dubai
The first BVLGARI hotel in the Middle East, opened in 2017, the Bvlgari Resort Dubai sits on the artificial Jumeira Bay Island.
On the ground floor, the spa and gym share 1,700 square meters of space. The experience unfolds across seven treatment rooms, a hammam, a 25-meter indoor pool, and a Roman Bath-inspired pool—courtesy of Bulgari. Copper-and-gold columns, four-poster beds, and deep-green mosaics—the setting feels like a jewelry box that reflects the brand’s jewelry-making heritage. A yacht club, several restaurants, and 101 sea-view rooms emphasize Italian refinement.
Mandarin Oriental Jumeira
Dominating the waters of the Persian Gulf and the vibrant city below—where the Burj Khalifa stands tall—the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira ranks among Dubai’s most beautiful hotels.
This luxurious property, with a palm-fringed private beach, makes a striking first impression at the entrance with its lobby’s glittering arboretum.
Beyond its horizon-spanning pool, 174 rooms and 77 suites, and diverse bars and restaurants (including a Michelin-starred venue), the hotel dedicates 2,000 square meters to well-being. The spa is spread across nine treatment rooms, ice baths, a fitness area with Outrace® equipment, a pool, and a sauna.
Wellness retreats ranging from one to three days are also available, all within a serene seaside ambiance and architecture with organic lines.
Jumeirah Zabeel Saray
Situated on Dubai’s iconic Palm, the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray—a grand five-star hotel with the air of a modern royal palace—blends Ottoman-inspired design with contemporary luxury, featuring vaulted ceilings, frescoes, and crystal chandeliers.
Here you’ll find 405 rooms with gilded walls and elegant mosaics, plus 38 villas set around a lagoon-like pool and scattered through the hotel’s tropical gardens. A large kids’ club, an expansive infinity pool that brushes a long private beach, and a cinema complete the offering.
There are 11 restaurants, lounges, and bars offering Lebanese, Indian, Japanese, and South American fare, all within settings that are as spectacular as the cuisine. The same can be said of the Talise Ottoman Spa: Turkish hammams, thalassotherapy pools, snow rooms, treatment rooms blending ancient healing philosophies with modern Ottoman techniques… This Dubai spa is grand, ultra-premium, and truly rooted in local culture.
One&Only Royal Mirage
Set on a 26-hectare park of fountains, arches, and domes, this well-known traveler favorite is distinguished by accommodations spread across three districts, each with its own story and architecture: the opulent, luxurious The Palace; the traditional Oriental Arabian Court; and the more secluded The Residence. There’s something for every taste.
In sandy and beige hues, the rooms showcase this Arab elegance, while the private villas feature pools and gardens for intimate stays. With more than 400 keys, One&Only Royal Mirage has risen to the challenge of a high-end culinary program, offering 16 restaurants and bars—from Mauro Colagreco’s South American flavors to Moroccan tagines and Asian specialties at Eauzone by the sea. To unwind, head to the spa tucked within The Residence’s lush gardens. If hammams, treatment rooms, saunas, a podiatry area, a hair salon, and an indoor pool would suffice, the setting itself is a tribute to Arabesque architecture, with mosaics, wrought-iron lanterns, and ornate ceilings.
