Expert reviews
“Delano’s Middle Eastern debut on Bluewaters Dubai, a man-made island also home to the world’s largest observation wheel, has the potential to be as disruptive as the original Delano in Miami. An antidote to the city’s marble and chandelier-laden five-star hotels, the interiors here are pared back, the scale reassuring.”
“For those who remember the Miami classic, there are nods throughout, such as the white-draped cabanas, sunken pool loungers, and a focus on theatrical, design-led spaces. But this isn’t a replica. The Dubai version dials things up with interiors that feel warmer and more intimate.”

All you need to know
If you’re looking to escape into something chic yet relaxed, Delano Dubai is a pretty sweet spot. It’s on Bluewaters Island, with about 250 meters of private beachfront and views of the Arabian Gulf, so you get the luxury and sun-soaked vibes without feeling totally removed from the city buzz.
The décor strikes a balance between modern minimalism and indulgence. Think soft, airy rooms with big windows, and suites that feel like upscale seaside cocoons.
What really stands out is how dinner, drinks and beach time all feel part of the same stylish experience. You’ve got the dramatic yet serene pool area, fun dining options and bars that are inviting whether you’re just chilling post‐flight or dressing up a bit for an evening out.
It’s ideal for a mix of relaxation and social energy. Perfect if you want to unwind but still have access to lively spots nearby.
