Ultimate Dubai Honeymoon Guide – A Romantic Escape in the City of Luxury

by roland Posted on

Dubai is a romantic destination paradise for any traveller, and if you are looking to spend your honeymoon here, you will find plenty to do, see, shop and explore. As a couple, you will be spoilt for choices in this luxurious city.

Planning your Honeymoon

Many people visit Dubai as honeymooners or travellers seeking a once-in-a-lifetime experience with their partners. To ensure the best places to stay, it’s important to plan ahead and book early. Finding the perfect place to celebrate this joyous occasion with your partner can be challenging due to the numerous attractive options available. From desert glamping experiences to luxurious hotels such as Avani Palm View Dubai, there are many choices to consider. Sea-view apartments in Dubai are a top choice for many people due to their stunning views, immaculate rooms, and exceptional services.

When to Visit

Dubai can have extremely hot summers, which can be tough to get used to. Therefore, it’s best to plan your visit between November and March, especially if you’re celebrating your honeymoon. Although staying indoors is an option to avoid the heat, it will limit your opportunities for long walks, cruises, and desert safaris that you and your partner might want to enjoy together. If you plan your visit in January, you’ll be able to experience the Dubai Shopping Festival, which can make your stay even more enjoyable with a shopping extravaganza for you and your partner.

Things to Do

Dubai offers a plethora of romantic activities for couples, such as a spa date or a dinner cruise along the Dubai Marina. You can also go for a Dune desert safari, where you can ride ATVs and quad bikes, and then enjoy a traditional camel ride. End the day with a delicious meal under the stars and cherish each other’s company. For some retail therapy, visit the Dubai Mall, and don’t forget to view some famous landmarks from the telescopes on the Burj Khalifa’s deck.

How Long to Stay

For an optimal honeymoon experience in Dubai, it’s advisable to plan a stay of at least four nights. Enhance your visit by diversifying your destinations, including a memorable night camping luxuriously under the stars in the desert.
