The UAE: A Wonderful Winter Warmer for Luxury Lovers
In many ways, the United Arab Emirates is a consummate all-rounder. Its unique blend of traditional Arabic charm, multicultural flair and flamboyant pizzazz give it an air of exotica, while its visitor-friendliness is equally appealing. The fact that it complements all these elements with safe streets, spotless white sand beaches and a sun-drenched climate — it is one of the few places on the planet where you are guaranteed blazing sunshine and zero rain during the US winter— makes it even more alluring. Here are five of Remote Lands’ favorite places to wait out the winter weather.

Opened in 1999, the Burj Al Arab is a veteran by Dubai's fast-changing standards and the sail-shaped icon is still one of the most sought-after stays in the Emirate. Standing on an artificial island off Jumeirah Beach, the Jumeirah hotel retains its opulent air via everything from expansive multi-story suites to a fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms, a helipad suspended 920 feet in the sky, and a mezzanine loaded with gold leaf and jewelry boutiques. Guests are treated to world-class dining experiences, such as the underwater Al Mahara restaurant and Michelin-starred Al Muntaha. Unwind in lavish amenities like the Talise Spa, which has 14 treatment rooms, as well as separate male and female saunas, steam rooms, 18th-floor indoor infinity pools, whirlpools and plunge pools.
ONE&ONLY ONE ZA’ABEEL, DUBAI
The UAE's longest suspended infinity pool, One&Only One Za'abeel
Situated in Dubai's Za’abeel district, this urban hideaway is an architectural feat by Japanese firm Nikken Sekkei. The hotel’s two towers are linked by the world's longest cantilever, the Link, a 750-foot-long structure suspended 300 feet above the ground, featuring an infinity pool with breathtaking views. The light-filled rooms and suites offer vistas of Dubai’s evolution, from the historic Dubai Creek and Bur Dubai to the futuristic skyline marked by the Museum of the Future and Burj Khalifa. With no immediate neighbors, the hotel provides a sense of openness. It also boasts a selection of world-class Japanese, French, Indonesian and Spanish restaurants and extensive wellness facilities in partnership with Clinique La Prairie.
EMIRATES PALACE, MANDARIN ORIENTAL, ABU DHABI
Emirates Palace, Mandarin Oriental
Although frequently more understated than its upstart neighbor to the north, Abu Dhabi is by far the largest — and wealthiest — emirate in the UAE and is not afraid to flex its riches when it gets the right opportunity. This majestic beachfront hotel exudes an impressive grandeur, blending opulent marble and gold accents with subtler, muted tones. Following an extensive renovation and rebranding under the Mandarin Oriental name, it has also elevated its culinary offerings, with the Michelin-starred Italian restaurant, Talea by Antonio Guida, taking center stage.
AL MAHA, A LUXURY COLLECTION DESERT RESORT & SPA, DUBAI
The view from Bedouin Suite plunge pool
At Al Maha, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, guests are immersed in an environment that captures the mystique of the desert. Each suite is meticulously designed, blending modern luxury with traditional Arabian and Bedouin aesthetics. The private temperature-controlled pools on the veranda offer a serene oasis, perfect for relaxing while observing the expansive desert views. Inside, the suites are adorned with exquisite furnishings, featuring intricate woodwork, plush fabrics, and carefully curated ornaments that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the region.
