rove la mer
The latest addition to Dubai’s quirky, budget- friendly Rove collection, this trendy outpost has just opened in the heart of the eclectic La Mer district with a pool, casual restaurant and wallet- friendly rooms. “There are just two room types for ease of selling, alongside interconnecting room options, and each has a Juliet balcony with views over the city or sea,” says Nicola Hain, Middle East product manager for Premier Holidays.

and the Al Fahidi Historical District. Book it: Premier Holidays offers four nights’ room-only from £599 per person, including flights from Heathrow in May.
