          Extravagant Designs of Dubai

          by Kim Budziak

          There is a time and place to indulge in excess, and that’s right now in Dubai. Where else can you find man-made peninsulas, an archipelago in the shape of the world, and hotels unmatched in opulence? We explore the extravagant options.

          Extravagant Designs of Dubai

          Palazzo Versace Dubai Lobby

          A signature sense of glamour carries through every corner of the Palazzo Versace Dubai. Neoclassical architecture is complemented by exquisite fabrics and Italian furnishings. Meanwhile, the whisper-dark interior of Quincy Jones’s bar Q’s adds a certain secrecy to nights spent sipping cocktails. With its eight Versace-themed restaurants, opulent Arabian shisha lounge, pop-up restaurant for high-profile visiting chefs, and unmatched views of the city, you’ll think you’re witnessing a new-wave mirage.

          Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah Pool View

          With its dreamy beach-inspired palette, the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah offers complete respite from the city—be it in-room, at signature Social restaurant, or on the private beachfront peppered with young palms. In a nod to its location on the eastern crescent of Palm Island, rooms, beach loungers, and even dining tables seem to stand alone—coffee tables float on grand rugs below airy light fixtures and two-by-two beach chairs are generously spaced from the next pair for true privacy.

          Armani Hotel Dubai Hallway

          Extravagant minimalism may seem like an oxymoron, but the Armani Hotel Dubai achieves it effortlessly. Moody hallways, dark wood accents, and near-hidden doorways marked by Helvetica type are cool, characteristic brand markers. The Armani Hotel is known for its exceptional service and attention to detail, but fans of the fashion house will adore the traces of texture, light and shadow unifying everything from seating arrangements to window treatments crafted to curate daylight patterns. Visit the Armani/Galleria for a truly original shopping experience.

          Taj Dubai Suite Dining Room

          Mosaic-style tiling, carved wood reliefs, punched lattice partitions, and inlaid ceilings leave no doubt that the detail-oriented nuances of Indian design are at home in Dubai. Every room and shared space at the heritage-nouveau Taj Dubai hotel supports its status as a metropolitan darling. An array of dining options complement its style: Bombay Brasserie for Indian, The Eloquent Elephant for fusion and gastro fare, and rooftop lounge Treehouse for impeccable cocktails and Mediterranean nosh.

          Nikki Beach Resort &Spa Dubai Exterior Pathway

          Beach bungalows washed in sunlight may recall the mid-century modern style of Palm Springs, but Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Dubai is in a league of its own. Situated on a 400-meter stretch of pure white sand, the hotel grounds offer generous views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline. Outstanding private villas in beachy hues, warm woods and pops of turquoise house private pools, and echo the organic oval and wave shapes present throughout the property.

          One&Only Royal Mirage Dubai Restaurant

          Far-flung Asia has inspired the grand interiors of Dubai’s One&Only Royal Mirage. Private fan-style beach cabanas shelter wave watchers looking for a sunset perch. Slatted rooftops protect interiors laced with rich colours and intricate lantern-style lighting. The property is grand, encompassing three properties within it: The Palace, Residence & Spa, and Arabian Court. Leisure is the order of the day here, so it’s best to enjoy its inspired architecture from a kayak, fishing vessel, or poolside lounge chair.

          Extravagant Designs of Dubai

          Al Maha Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa Dubai Tented Pool

          Wind-carved dunes, local trees dotting the landscape, and sail-style sun coverings welcome you to Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, Dubai. The feeling here is grounded but open, traditional but updated, refined but airy. Everything is elegant and earthy, encompassing inlaid shelving, stone-accented settings, and warm woods. Traditional artifacts and intricate rugs underscore the real history of this conservation reserve property. Escape the city, relax in your private pool, and indulge in the desert’s natural offerings.
