“Luxury hotel set against the dramatic backdrop of the Hajar Mountains. Great for families and couples alike, with a kids' as well as adults-only pool. World class cuisine served at the two restaurants and a bar and an indulgent spa to unwind after a busy day exploring the mountains by bike or foot.”

Ja Hatta Fort Hotel Dubai, United Arab Emirates

This relaxing mountain retreat shows there's more to Dubai that mega malls and glitzy hotels. It offers large chalet-style rooms, multiple pools and a fantastic restaurant, while the surrounding Hajar Mountains are ideal for hiking and biking.
