Want to holiday with the whole family this Eid Al Adha? Check into JA Ocean View Hotel
Eid Al Adha is knocking on our doors, which means it's time to get planning. If you're not staying in the city this holiday season, rest assured there are incredible places to check out that will have you feel like you're vacationing on an island. JA Ocean View Hotel's new staycation packages are a pretty tempting reason to press pause and escape to the beach. Nestled right on the edge of Dubai's JBR shoreline, JA Ocean View Hotel has front-row seats to the sea, meaning every day starts with a view worth getting out of bed for. With staycation offers running throughout the summer and across Eid, you can take your pick depending on your dates and budget. Prices start from Dhs450++ per night for the summer staycation offer and Dhs650++ per night during Eid, both in a Sea View Room with balcony. The best part? You might get a complimentary upgrade to the next room category, just because. Offers are running during the Eid Al Adha break and throughout summer. Book the offer directly on the hotel's website and use the Eid promo code 'Eid Escape' to unlock even more perks. Think daily buffet breakfast for two adults, 20 percent savings in a second room for the kids, and free stays and meals for little ones aged 12 and under (as long as they're with a paying adult). Eid special offers For those celebrating Eid, the offer is available from Wednesday June 4 to Saturday June 14 and includes some extra touches to make the break feel special. Get your stay to a brilliant start with two complimentary house beverages at check-in, plus enjoy 20 percent savings on food and drinks across all of the hotel's restaurants and bars, with even more savings if you're a member. When it comes to dining, you're spoilt for choice: tuck into a hearty international buffet at Aqua Restaurant, savour authentic Italian flavours at Il Motto Pizzeria, or feel like you're vacationing in Santorini at OIA, the resort's signature Greek spot. There's much more to sweeten the deal, namely, valet parking, a shuttle bus to Mall of the Emirates, and access to the CoolZone kids' play area for those aged four to 12. Little ones will be welcomed with a complimentary Kids Pack while the adults will receive a beach kit to kickstart their holiday with all the right essentials, so don't worry about last-minute supermarket runs. Whether you're travelling as a family, with your partner or flying solo, JA Ocean View Hotel's location, benefits and relaxed beachside energy are a solid combination for anyone craving a quick getaway without the travel faff. And if the only thing you do all day is watch the waves roll in, well, you deserve it. Ready to holiday like there's no tomorrow? So are we. Book now: Promo code: Eid Escape
