A forest of towers around a yacht-filled marina, opening onto the JBR beach and its buzzing beachfront 'Walk' of restaurants and bars. The best base for a beach-and-nightlife holiday — lively, walkable and on the sea, with the observation wheel next door; a long metro ride from the old town.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 7.Dubai Marina & JBR beach — Stroll the yacht-lined Marina promenade past a wall of glowing towers, then hit the JBR beachfront 'Walk' — sand, warm sea, beach clubs and a strip of restaurants and bars that buzzes till late. The best evening in new Dubai, all lights, water and people-watching.
- 11.Ain Dubai & Bluewaters — The tallest observation wheel in the world, 250 metres up on its own island off the Marina — a slow, air-conditioned turn with a view over the coastline and the skyline. Ride it, or just walk the Bluewaters promenade beneath it; spectacular when it's lit up after dark.
