The first hotel on Dubai s Deira Islands opened on Thursday.
The city’s only 24-hour all-inclusive beachfront hotel, the four-star Hotel Riu Dubai, has 800 rooms, its own mini waterpark, two children’s pools and three large pools for adults.
Guests who book a stay at the luxury resort can leave their wallets in the room after check-in because the all-inclusive concept means food, drink and activities on site are free.
Whether it is early morning yoga, afternoon water aerobics or a kayak along its exclusive stretch of beach, dirhams do not need to pass hands at this resort.
It is the Spanish chain’s first hotel in the Middle East and was built in collaboration with Nakheel, the master developer of Deira Islands.
