JA Palm Tree Court
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
9Telegraph expert rating
A stylish all-suite resort set on a pristine beach with lush gardens, multiple restaurants and a raft of activities. It manages to be both family-friendly and quiet enough for couples, thanks to an adults-only pool and spacious lawn by the beach. It’s an all-encompassing resort with three pools, four tennis courts, gym with squash, badminton and table tennis, stables and a fantastic watersports and dive centre. Seaplane tours and fishing trips depart from the marina, while the challenging nine-hole golf course has hosted the likes of Tiger Woods and Nick Faldo.

JA Jebel Ali Beach Hotel
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
8Telegraph expert rating
This family-friendly resort feels a world away from the hubbub of Dubai, yet it’s just 20 minutes’ drive to malls and theme parks. Still, with private beach, pools and activities galore, it’s better suited to a seaside break than a base for exploring the city. There are endless things to do– many of them free – including tennis, squash, badminton and table tennis, as well as a Wibit inflatable water park and fantastic watersports centre with experienced staff offering sailing, SUP, water-skiing and more. There are 12 bars and restaurants to choose from too. Read expert review From £179per night Check availability Rates provided by Booking.com

This all-inclusive resort – set amid mature gardens on a secluded spot of Palm Jumeirah – scores big for its fabulous kids’ club, authentic Turkish hammam and great restaurants. It's well-suited to both families and couples. There are two outdoor pools, a separate kids’ pool, motorised and non-motorised water sports, basketball and tennis courts. The Turkish hammam at Anjana Spa is not to be missed. Also expect steam rooms, saunas, and ice fountains. There are three restaurants and half a dozen bars and lounges. I-Chill beach bar is a top spot for sundowners, and Italian fine-dining restaurant, L’Olivo, is highly recommended.

Al Maha Resort And Spa
Murquab, Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, United Arab Emirates
9Telegraph expert rating
Al Maha was the UAE’s first desert escape and while there are now a handful of heavenly retreats set amidst the dunes, this romantic eco-friendly resort still remains its most seductive. It is best suited to honeymooners or those looking for alone time, along with very close friends. It’s all-inclusive, though alcohol costs extra. Savour the sunset over the desert as you sip sundowners on the Terrace Bar (there’s a telescope for wildlife spotting) before feasting on Arabic cuisine prepared from organic produce on the alfresco deck of Al Diwaan.
