Jumeirah Mina Al Salam

What the classifiers highlight

The first hotel to open at Madinat Jumeirah, in 2004, still feels boutique despite 292 rooms and access to more than 50 restaurants and bars nearby. Sinbad's Kids Club and free entry to Wild Wadi Waterpark cover families, and Bahri Bar's terrace catches sunset over the canals. Talise Spa treatments draw on honey, clay and pearl extract.
