Romantic Itinerary In Dubai

With two days in the city, we’ve planned the ultimate couples’ weekend in Dubai that will take you to the most romantic restaurants, bars and experiences.

Day One: Wake up with a sunrise hot air balloon

Rise and shine for an early pick-up from Bab Al Shams, driving out across the golden Al Margam desert ready for sunrise. Drift at 4,000 feet over the Dubai desert dunes in a private hot air balloon and be awe-struck by the array of wildlife below as you float along.

Get pampered at a traditional spa

Relax and reconnect in a private suite at the One&Only Royal Mirage Spa, a calming oasis of traditional healing. Indulge in a bespoke treatment for two, from the 60-minute Moroccan Hammam followed by a 30-minute massage; to a two-hour holistic duo ritual that includes a massage and facial.

Luxuriate in a private spa suite

Prefer your pampering in a more modern setting? Holistic techniques and high-tech therapies meld into an oasis of calm at Atlantis The Royal’s AWAKEN Spa. Curated for couples, the ‘Twin Flame’ treatment starts with a soak in the fireside jacuzzi, followed by a champaka salt scrub and a warm oil massage.

Toast the Dubai sunset at Jetty Lounge

Marvel at a pastel-hued sunset while sinking your toes into the sand at One&Only Royal Mirage's beloved beach bar. Sip on signature cocktails and listen to chilled beats harmonising with the gently lapping waves.

Sail over to One&Only The Palm

Don’t let Dubai traffic impact date night. Dust the sand from between your toes and head to the jetty on the shorefront of One&Only Royal Mirage to catch a complimentary yacht transfer over to One&Only The Palm, passing by the Palm Jumeirah’s sparkling skyline.

Enjoy dinner under the stars at 101

Savour an elevated evening at 101, a romantic Dubai restaurant of refined Mediterranean seafood, live music and stunning skyline views. Bask in balmy Dubai evenings on the wooden deck and dine under the warmth of candlelight.

Day Two: Start the day at sea

Let One&Only The Palm curate your morning at sea aboard a luxurious private yacht. Admire the sparkling Arabian Gulf and iconic Dubai skyline as you set sail for a gourmet breakfast.
