Last Minute Eid In Dubai? The Four Resorts Our Editors Recommend…

Eid Al Adha is Dubai’s favourite pause button: offices quieten, beachfront roads clear, and suddenly every resident realises there’s no need to rush out of town when the world’s most captivating resorts are right here. It’s a rare window when the pace softens, the city feels yours again, and the right hotel can turn a long weekend into something that feels far more lasting. Based in Dubai, another emirate, or just passing through? You don’t need to drive for hours or queue at a boarding gate to feel like you’ve truly escaped. Whether you’re the friend who always books the table, the power couple chasing privacy, the parent curating family memories, or the soloist craving perspective, the following four magnificent properties offer exclusive Eid packages designed for effortless indulgence. Zero in on the staycation that matches your mood, rewards your pace, and makes the holiday feel beautifully uncomplicated.

At its core, Banyan Tree Dubai is a sanctuary designed for wellbeing. Guests can relax beside the hotel’s infinity pool overlooking the sea, stretch out in peace on a pristine stretch of private beach, or experience The Rainforest, Dubai’s only hydrothermal wellness circuit.

W DUBAI – THE PALM 

W Dubai – The Palm, the first W Escape in the Middle East, is a 349-room resort instantly recognisable for its wave-shaped glass façade, sweeping skyline views, and signature dining destinations, including the Michelin Guide-recommended Akira Back. The property fuses bold design with beachfront energy, offering one of the Palm’s most distinctive escapes. It is created for guests who like their downtime dialled up. From the moment you step into the lobby, it’s clear this is a place made for those who want a stay that looks as good as it feels: vibrant, playful, and anything but ordinary.

Set along the West Crescent with a private beach edged in soft white sand and panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, the resort features adults-only pools as well as dedicated family activities, and floor-to-ceiling windows in every room. At its centre is the WET Deck, an adults-only beachfront pool scene lined with loungers, cabanas, and curated DJ sets that keep the energy flowing from midday into sunset.

Eid Staycation (1–10 June 2025):

Good to Know: This is one of the few Eid offers in the city that blends beachfront views, serious dining credentials, and a little nightlife energy, all in one destination.

MARRIOTT RESORT PALM JUMEIRAH 

Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah is the kind of staycation spot that feels fully self-contained. Every room and suite comes with a full sea view and private balcony, and the entire property is designed to let you switch off without needing to leave. Interiors are open, modern, and quietly refined, while outside, a 75-metre infinity pool, one of the largest on Palm West Beach, sets the tone for lazy afternoons and longer stays.

Twelve restaurants and lounges are spread across the resort, offering everything from Italian trattoria dishes to a variety of international cuisines and exciting theme nights. For those staying over Eid, it’s an easy win: no need to plan anything around your meals, as everything you could wish for is right here.

Eid & Highlights:

  • Stay Longer, Save More: Book seven nights or more and enjoy up to 25 % off with breakfast and complimentary stays for children under 12 (from AED 600+++ per night for two adults plus two kids).
  • Cucina’s Weekend Summer Breakfast Club: Chef Marco Deriu brings an Italian soul to the first meal of the day. For AED 120, graze over Shakshuka All’Italiana, the Italian‑Style Benedict with truffle, and the crowd‑pleasing Cucina Cornetto—a supersized croissant crowned with house‑made gelato. A two‑hour free‑flow Bloody Mary & Mimosa add‑on (AED 150) is there if you’re celebrating.
  • MYAMI After-Dark Swimming: From 7 PM to 10 PM, MYAMI opens the pool for a new kind of twilight ritual. Think low lighting, skyline views, and music that never overpowers. Entry is AED 100–150, fully redeemable on casual bites and Happy Hour drinks. It’s relaxed, unhurried, and refreshingly free of dress codes, just water, music, and warm night air.
  • The Spa-Cation is Real – and It’s Needed – Saray Spa’s summer package is a full reset in disguise. It includes a 60-minute custom massage, access to the Jacuzzi, steam room, and quiet zones, full beach and pool access, and a dining voucher worth AED 150, all designed to offer an all-day pause that feels indulgent but never out of reach.

Good to Know: Marriott Bonvoy members collect points on every dirham spent, so one week in residence could bankroll a winter escape elsewhere.
