ISLAND SANCTUARY
BBC Good Food ME|August 2022
Explore Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort, the first island resort in the city and on the World Islands archipelago
ISLAND SANCTUARY

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.
