returning to the lounge for a light breakfast. By mid-day, we made a very hard decision to leave the hotel and venture into the surrounding district, which was true Dubai shopping at its finest. Spending the afternoon flitting between Media City and the Dubai Marina, we found absolute luxury around every corner, before heading to Frankies Restaurant, one of the area’s most fun, up and coming places, for a lovely evening meal. Whilst dining at this vibrant restaurant, famed as one of Italian horseracing legend Frankie Dettori’s trademark eateries, with the vibe from the street and from this exciting bistro, we found it hard to believe that the Ritz- Carlton, with all its tranquillity is just a short walk away. For those wanting everything, this surely is the perfect destination. Suitably shopped and fed, we returned to our sanctuary to sample one of the last item on our luxury checklist – the spa. Upon arriving, I found this to be Balinese themed, offering treatments across seven different rooms. Opting for the signature treatment, which consisted of a wonderful full body massage with rich oils, I was left feeling completely invigorated. Te only real drawback from our stay at the Ritz-Carlton, Dubai, was that we eventually had to leave. But with renovations undergoing
tempted by the contemporary Italian cuisine of the Splendido Restaurant, we simply couldn’t turn down the chance to dine under the stars. Embracing many Arabic charms, the setting
and style of this feast was truly unbelievable. With a vast selection of hand calved meats, along with a plethora of fish and local delicacies, this touch of Arabian style gave us the thrill of a nomadic banquet where only the stars and sand were by our sides. As the sun rose and we awoke from our dreams of the night before, we couldn’t resist
throughout the summer, we will surely be looking to return in when the revamp is completed in September. For luxury, the Ritz- Carlton name speaks volumes, in the sea of luxury which Dubai is, the Ritz-Carlton really does stand out from the crowd.
