Bvlgari Resort Dubai is a five-star address on Jumeira Bay Island, reached by a two-minute ride across a 300-metre bridge from the mainland. The resort covers 1.1 million square feet and is larger than any other property in the Bvlgari Hotels collection, with the brand's first Marina and Yacht Clvb. Its Mediterranean-inspired design gives you an island setting with the Dubai skyline in view.
The resort holds 101 rooms and suites alongside 20 villas. Garden Rooms open directly onto a garden of 49 square metres, while Deluxe Beach View Rooms add a private balcony facing the sandy beach. Junior Suites and Deluxe Suites look to the Dubai skyline or the Arabian Gulf, and The BVLGARI Suite adds a wraparound terrace and a two-person hydromassage. Villas run from one bedroom on the beach to two bedrooms with skyline views, with a 24-hour personalised butler on hand.
Little Gems Clvb runs two children's clubs, one at Serpenti Beach Clvb and one at the Yacht Clvb, with arts and crafts, dress-up, gardening and a kids pool with a lifeguard on duty. Serpenti Beach Clvb brings cabanas and daybeds to the beachfront, and the marina can berth boats from 10 to 40 metres. Resort experiences include a guided Italian wine tasting, a cigar session and a lesson in Bvlgari Bar cocktails, while the Yacht Clvb's house trio, Ćtoile, plays from Friday to Sunday.
Wellbeing centres on The Bvlgari Spa, a 1,700 square metre space shared with the gym on the ground floor. It has seven treatment rooms and a couples suite, a hammam, a 25-metre indoor pool and a vitality pool inspired by the ancient Caracalla Roman baths. The Bvlgari Gymnasivm, developed with Technogym, is open 24 hours with ocean views and personal trainers. Outdoors, the Yacht Clvb pool has 18 cabanas and a pool bar alongside.
Seven dining venues cover the day. Il Ristorante, curated by chef Niko Romito, holds two Michelin stars, and HÅseki, a 17-seat Japanese omakase counter on the fourth floor, holds one. Il CaffĆØ is an all-day terrace over the marina with a pizza bar, The Bvlgari Lounge serves Afternoon Tea, and The Bvlgari Bar centres on an oval chrome counter. La Spiaggia serves international dishes on the beach, and the Yacht Clvb Restaurant specialises in Italian fish.
Dubai International Airport is 25 minutes away by car and Al Maktoum International Airport 45 minutes. Burj Khalifa, with its observation deck on the 124th floor, and Dubai Mall are the city landmarks closest to hand, alongside the Bastakia Quarter, the souks and the mosques. The resort arranges a desert safari, helicopter flights lasting from ten minutes to an hour, and a Maserati tour of Old Dubai taking in the Gold and Spice souks and the traditional wooden boats on the Creek.
