Experiences
Banyan Tree Dubai
Banyan Tree Dubai is the beachfront paradise you need for your Dubai holiday, where a blend of opulence and serenity provides a much-needed urban escape. Operating where Caesars Palace Dubai previously resided, the tranquil resort fronts a pristine shoreline that includes a 500m private beach and uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf.
With 179 rooms – including 30 suites, a brand new 10-bedroom villa and 96 private residences – each thoughtfully designed, there’s plenty of opportunities to feel pampered, including among the lush gardens and inviting pools.
Things to do at the hotel
The Banyan Tree Dubai hosts an array of dining experiences which will tantalise your tastebuds. A chef often seen on TV who has a presence at the hotel is Alvin Leung with Demon Duck – his first restaurant in the region. Signature Asian dishes are given surprising twists along with local influences finding their way onto your plate. The duck here is the obvious star of the show: the slow-roasted Demon Duck has been aged 14 days, rendering juicy meat and crispy skin for that perfect bite. Other options on the food front include Japanese omakase restaurant Takahisa (mentioned in the 2023 Michelin Guide Dubai) and the Banyan Tree Pool & Beach.
One of the must-visit parts of the hotel is the Banyan Tree Spa, which promises an oasis of wellness and rejuvenation, following an Asian wellness philosophy.
