There are two kinds of hotels. The ones you want to leave soon after you wake up because you know in no time it will be bustling with activity; families getting their holiday snaps in the lobby, children around the corridors and busy restaurants catering to an influx of diners. Then there are those hotels that make you want to stay in all day. The ones that allow you to indulge in luxury, are attractive and extremely comfortable. If you’re after the latter then you’ve come to the right place. These are the top five.

5. Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort

If you’ve been a fan of Thai hospitality, this urban escape tucked away on the East crescent of the Palm Jumeirah won’t disappoint.

Make it a special getaway by booking yourself (and your plus one) in the over water villas (it’s the only place you will get them in the UAE).
