Its spa is the largest and most luxurious in the Northern Emirate whilst the resort’s kids and teenage club facilities are unrivalled. In May 2015, a new adults-only infinity pool opened to the public – adding to the collection of seven swimming pools available for guests to enjoy. Towards the end of the year, another restaurant and mini-waterpark will also be added to the mix.
Earlier this year, the resort scooped the accolade for the Middle East’s Leading All Inclusive Resort in the World Travel Awards 2015 for the second time in a row.
