The property offers daily daycation packages with pool & beach Access, all-inclusive F&B including all-day dining open buffet & pool bars and sports activities.

Upon a quick check-in at reception, our daycation starts with a marvellous breakfast buffet at restaurant Turquoise that boasts a great variety of Turkish, local & international dishes and live-cooking stations.

After breakfast, we head to the main pool to relax in the sun and enjoy the stunning views of Dubai Marina’s glittering cityscape and the magnificent Palm Jumeirah’s architecture and lagoons. Once there, we are directed to our cabana we are warmly greeted with two refreshing concoctions and a fruit platter.
