InterContinental Dubai Marina by IHG
Dubai Marina stay with splash zone and waterfront views
About this hotel
Families basing themselves here for a slides-packed break will find the InterContinental Dubai Marina by IHG a comfortable hub. While not directly integrated with a major water park, its dedicated kids' splash zone provides immediate aquatic entertainment for younger children right on site. The outdoor pool is perfect for a refreshing dip after a day exploring Dubai. For older kids and teens, Jumeirah Beach is easily accessible, offering further water activities. The hotel's location in Dubai Marina means a short journey to larger water parks, allowing for full days of thrill slides before returning to the comfort of a spacious room or suite. The blend of on-site splash fun and city access makes for a versatile family holiday.
- Kids' splash zone
- Outdoor pool
- Spa and wellness facilities
- Waterfront dining options
Our take
This base suits families with younger children who appreciate a dedicated splash zone on-site for immediate fun, alongside easy access to city attractions and beaches. It's also a good fit for those who prefer a more urban hotel experience with the flexibility to visit larger water parks as day trips. Families primarily seeking a resort with an integrated, extensive water park might find this option less direct for thrill slides, as major parks require separate travel and tickets.
- ✓Book your stay well in advance, especially during school holidays, as Dubai Marina hotels are popular and fill up quickly.
- ✓Plan your water park visits as separate day trips, checking park opening times and booking tickets ahead to save time.
- ✓Utilise the hotel's kids' splash zone for younger children to enjoy quick, easy water fun without leaving the property.

Why guests love itOur family found the InterContinental Dubai Marina a great base for our Dubai adventure. The kids loved the splash zone right at the hotel, which was perfect for cooling off and letting off steam after a morning of sightseeing. It meant we didn't always have to venture out for water fun. The outdoor pool was also a hit, offering lovely views. While we did plan trips to larger water parks, having the immediate option for the little ones to play in the water on-site made our days much smoother and more relaxed.
