Enjoy 25% off on your staycation at Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort
If the idea of airport queues and long-haul flights makes you sigh, it's time to look at what's right on your doorstep. This summer, Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort is inviting GCC residents to swap city living for a slice of tropical calm, and you'll want to give this a look. Set along the quieter eastern crescent of Palm Jumeirah, this Thai-inspired retreat is all swaying palms, calm lagoon waters and uninterrupted sea views. And this summer, there's more reason than usual to make a move. The resort's latest staycation offer runs throughout the warmer months, giving residents of the UAE and GCC a chance to enjoy up to 25 percent off their stay. Whether you opt for one of the lagoon access rooms, or fancy splashing out on a beach villa or the UAE's only overwater villas, the experience feels thoughtfully curated. Each stay includes breakfast for two adults and two kids (under 12), so the day starts off nicely taken care of. There's also 10 percent savings at all of the resort's award-winning restaurants – think beachfront bites at The Beach House, or a flavour-packed dinner at Mekong, their signature Asian spot. If you're in the mood to explore the resort a little more, there's 20 percent off selected activities – from watersports to cultural touches – and 30 percent off treatments at Anantara Spa for those who take their downtime seriously. And while the water might be warm outside, it's all cool and calm within the temperature-controlled infinity pool. Feel free to dream up you chilling in the pool with the city skyline in the backdrop or stretching out on the lounger with zero thoughts about your emails and many on where to have dinner. What's more, you'll revel in the heartfelt hospitality that will have you feeling pampered throughout your stay. So what's stopping you from enjoying a full-blown island getaway? Book your summer staycation now. Reservations: +971 4 567 8888, dubaipalm@
