Considering that the UAE has all the necessary attributes for an unforgettable honeymoon, both alone with each other and palm trees, and in the thick of human fuss, Russian Emirates chose the most appropriate, in our humble opinion, from the long list of local hotels Arabian tales. Without claiming to be the ultimate truth, we nevertheless tend to recommend five of them: four in the glorious city of Dubai, and one in the equally glorious capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi.
Unrivaled luxury Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi
The Emirates Palace, as the name Emirates Palace is translated, has spread its truly royal possessions to a gigantic million square meters off the coast of the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, called the Pearl of the Gulf.
Illuminated by hundreds of thousands of light bulbs and a dome shimmering in the night, the hotel is modestly listed as a “five-star”, although it cannot be compared either externally or internally with other local brethren. It’s just that he, like the one hundred and one personal in the Emirates, was not surrounded by a lot of cries: in Abu Dhabi, there was more oil, and less PR. Managed by Emirates Palace hotel giant Kempinski.
The palace is the palace. Dear, which is justified. Chic, spacious, amazing, real, solid, oriental. Domes, tall ceilings, mosaics, fountains the size of a children's pool.
The huge building of the palace to the farthest back street is full of luxury. The spaces are so vast that sometimes you get lost in them as a unit of existence.
All rooms and suites with several rooms, regardless of category, are decorated in specially selected colors, decorated with mahogany, silk, marble, crystal products from Swarovski and Daum, furnished with exclusive furniture from expensive wood, abound with pillows of all caliber and generously decorated with floral arrangements. Naturally expensive carpets are on the floor, and ceilings and walls are decorated with elegant stucco molding. In spacious and comfortable bathrooms, you just want to wash and preen yourself for ages!
You can choose from 302 standard rooms (from $ 450 per night), 40 "suites" (from $ 1,800), 4 presidential "suites" (from $ 6,900), as well as real, multi-room "palaces in palaces" with all the attributes of royal life, where the honeymoon will surely be surprisingly sweet (from $ 3,900).
Of all the conceivable additional delights of a luxurious vacation that are indispensable for a hotel of this caliber, Emirates Palace especially stands out for its cleanest private beach of a kilometer length, its own theater and an extreme water entertainment club.
If they meet, then on long limousines. If you are registering, then in the room, and not at the reception. If it serves, then a personal butler, who is constantly assigned daily to every room. If you are treated, then the best dishes of the capital of the Emirates. Emirates Palace exactly matches what is stated in the advertising booklet: this is a place for the elite.
The hotel is currently developing special offers for those wishing to spend a honeymoon here, which are expected to be announced by the beginning of the next tourist season.

Real Arabian TaleOne & Only Royal Mirage, Dubai
Dubai's One & Only Royal Mirage Resort, located on its own beach along the edge of the Gulf, is also undoubtedly a place worthy of kings and lovers. But unlike the luxurious Abu Dhabi giant Emirates Palace, the One & Only Royal Mirage is more compact and therefore more comfortable. It consists of three parts: the Palace itself, built under the patronage of the Sheikh, with the The Arabian Court hotel connected to it and the small but remote component of The Residence & Spa, part of the association of the "Best Small Hotels in the World".
To a greater extent, this complex has sustained a clear Arabian standard, often with marks of Cana and Persian accents, following which brought One & Only the title of Dubai's most stylish beach resort. Soaring arches, huge windows, small nooks and alcoves, simplicity skillfully combined with exquisite luxury, deep domes. There is a lot of light and a lot of mastery of the game with lighting intertwining the natural with the artificial. There are a lot of interesting, oriental, colorful interior items, starting with chairs and ending with sinks in the toilet rooms.
And here it is quiet and time flows effortlessly and measuredly, so I want to speak in a whisper and watch the branches of date palms swing over a huge pool dressed in white shores, or how the candlelight dances in the leather limits of a Moroccan lamp.
The Palace, surrounded by gardens, offers 250 rooms, some of which are slightly monumental. Two The “wings” of The Arabian Court have 162 rooms and 10 separate suites, each with sea views, a private balcony and a patio. The Residence & Spa, which exists together with the complex and separately, deserves special attention. Everything has been done here so that guests forget about the hustle and bustle of vanities and plunge into the pacified state of bliss. For residence, The Residence & Spa offers 18 suites, 32 "prestigious" rooms and a villa in the garden.
One & Only Royal Mirage, like any five-star hotel, has a host of additional services, including the Beauty and Health Institute, which includes a SPA that works with Givenchy products and an absolutely stunning Moroccan bath in Moroccan style, where they provide cleaning services for both women and men. One & Only Royal Mirage is good for those couples who appreciate silence and lack of pomposity, in the presence of undoubted luxury. And for those who want to make a fairy tale come true.
The issue price ranges from $ 290 to several thousand dollars $ 500 (per day), depending on the number, season and package of services. There are special offers for young wives for their honeymoon, which must be requested by e-mail. Information can be found at www.oneandonlyresorts.com where you can choose Dubai.

Complete privacyAl Maha Desert Resort, Dubai
One old Bedouin told the world about this place. He said that somewhere in the sands near the Hajar mountains there are ancient underwater lakes that feed a thin source of water flowing down stones. Palm trees grow and strange birds live there, and sometimes in the mountains you can see the flexible shadow of the Arabian leopard. People listened to the old man, and came to look at the oasis, and named it after the most beautiful inhabitants of the local deserts - the Oryx antelopes, who came to the springs and rested in the shade of trees. So the legend goes.

Those who want to come for a day, guarding the peace of guests, are not allowed into the resort territory, which meets all the standards of the “five stars”.
Each house is a separate world where only close people reign. Even the very request of that suite - Bedouin Suite, of which there are only 37, occupies almost 100 square meters. square meters and has its own pool with thermoregulation and a barbecue area.
