The renowned World Islands Dubai project has played host to several club and nightlife events, but with Anantara opening a resort on the South American continent within the archipelago, barefoot luxury away from the humdrum of the city is just a 30-minute boat ride from Anantara Dubai The Palm.
Home to 70 rooms, suites and villas, this lavish private resort welcomes guests with beats from drummers, on the jetty, and a cold towel to perk you up after your boat journey. At check-in, quench your thirst with fresh coconut water before heading towards your private villa on a buggy.
ACCOMMODATION
A ‘Welcome Home’ sign created with sand at the entrance of our villa, adds a homely touch that instantly speaks volumes of the warm hospitality, from the point of arrival. The One-bedroom garden pool villa opens to the closet space, and after a quick walk into the room stands a plush bed at the centre of the villa. The lounge/dining space is the perfect spot for an in-room meal and coffee.
Boasting a private pool and sunbeds on the terrace, with wooden doors that offer a view of the beach in the distance, we found ourselves cooling down with a dip in the pool every few hours while enjoying a read outdoors in the evening. The villa’s bathroom features a shower and stand alone bathtub, that’s apt for a relaxing soak after a day on the island. Other features include the Smart TV, complimentary WiFi, flip flops, bathrobes and tea and coffee-making facilities. Right before indulging in a night of restful sleep, we admired the architecture of the villa, the slanted wooden beams and fans on the ceiling, exuding an island vibe with natural, earthy elements.
