Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach

What the classifiers highlight

Wind towers, latticework and traditional lamps give the building an Arabian-fairytale silhouette on a stretch of private beach. The 237 rooms and suites carry a sea-and-sand palette with gulf views from wide terraces, and eleven restaurants include Coya, a Peruvian kitchen tucked inside the resort. The Pearl Spa builds its treatments around Dubai's pearl-diving history.
