Dubai Hotels the Virgin Holidays Way

LONDON, April 8, 2011 - Not only is the 'wave' design stunning to behold, it's rather
clever too, for every room at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel enjoys a sea view from
its floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the stunning private beach. There is
an extensive choice of more than 20 restaurants where you can sample food
from around the world including Lebanese, Italian, Far Eastern and German;
there's even an English style pub where you can test your knowledge at the
weekly quiz night. During the winter months night owls staying at the
Jumeirah Beach Hotel

can chill out at 360degrees, a stylish adults-only rooftop terrace where
the music is played until late. The Jumeirah Beach Hotel has an excellent
beach front location, meaning that there are plenty of water sports on offer,
including Hobia Cat sailing, kayaking, water skiing and scuba diving.

One of Dubai's premier resorts, Le Royal Meridien Dubai
features a Roman-themed spa, luxury bedrooms and beautifully landscaped
gardens. It's also in a prime location on Jumeirah Beach, overlooking the
beach and boasting superb views of the Arabian Gulf. You will never run out
of things to do at Le Royal Meridien Dubai
(www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/worldwide/holidays/the_middle_east/dubai_and_beyond/le_royal_meridien_beach_resort_and_spa/),
with 14 restaurants and bars, 3 swimming pools, spa and water sports.

A great choice for a city break with a difference is Dubai.
Hotels in Dubai
(www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/worldwide/holidays/the_middle_east/dubai_and_beyond/hotels.aspx)
combine the ancient culture with the modern day to give a break with a
difference. This unique environment is full of surprises, where else would
you find an ice rink in the middle of the desert? Shopping is the central
part to any Dubai Holiday, from haggling in the marketplace for a bargain
or taking advantage of the tax free shopping. Hotels in Dubai are a great
chance to relax and unwind in pure luxury and to release the stresses and
strains of everyday life in the warm waters of the Persian Gulf.
