Kempinski Hotel & Residences Palm Jumeirah, Dubai

What could be more delicious than the diverse flavours of Mediterranean cuisine? Well… Mediterranean cuisine served on the coast! Imagine enjoying a beautiful summer afternoon with a refreshing beverage in one hand and an iPhone set to selfie-portrait mode in another :) You are at Villamore. The elegant rooftop and main dining area are superbly designed with influences from Greco-Roman architecture. Chef Gokhan’s menu shines with dishes like squid risotto and Portuguese style octopus. I paired my extended lunch with a glass of Whispering Angel rosé and had no regrets staying past sunset.

The pool and beach access package was a fantastic deal! The pool was large and perfectly heated, and the atmosphere was so relaxed. The views are very nice, stretching across the Dubai Marina. I had excellent service from Yassin, our waiter, who truly looked after our needs all day. It was a perfect way to unwind and enjoy the sun.

We upgraded to a 2-bedroom suite with a private pool, which was absolutely amazing! The spacious accommodation was equipped with everything we could have asked for and provided a comfy and luxurious stay. It turned out to be the perfect choice for a family getaway, giving us both relaxation and space to gather together.

Kempinski went the extra mile to make my son's birthday special while we were there. The staff surprised us with a cake and decorated our room, making his day lovely. They really catered to families and ensured that every aspect of our stay was fun and engaging for my kids, which made our time there incredibly enjoyable.
