Hotels in United Arab Emirates

In the United Arab Emirates, the waterpark holiday centres on Dubai, and the two parks we cover sit on opposite sides of a short coastal drive. Aquaventure is on the crescent of Palm Jumeirah, attached to the Atlantis resort, so the hotel rooms closest to the slides are on the Palm itself, with Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residence a taxi ride away for families who want more choice and lower rates. Wild Wadi Water Park lies in Umm Suqeim beside the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and within sight of the Burj Al Arab, which makes the beach hotels of Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim the natural base. Dubai summers are extremely hot, so most families plan a slide trip between October and April, when outdoor afternoons are comfortable and beach days fit around park sessions. Our listings separate resorts where park access can be part of the stay from hotels that sell rooms only, and they flag family suites, kids' clubs, breakfast and all-inclusive options, which make a big difference to the daily budget in Dubai.
