Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach

This Four Seasons outpost on Jumeirah Beach lets guests live the Dubai dream – private poolside cabanas, views of the Burj Khalifa, Arabian Gulf and skyline, and adventures out into the desert. The open-air Mercury Lounge is where to head for sunset, or settle in for sushi and sashimi at the beach-facing Sea Fu. The spa will wash away all of your sins (especially if you book a hammam); there are even facials that draw on one of Dubai’s ancient industries and use pearls in the quest for skin perfection.
