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.

My stay was incredible! The staff were very nice—especially Ms. Circle “Dayra,” who was so kind and generous, making my trip truly exceptional. I stayed in Suite No. 650 with pool views, and everything was amazing—the pool, beach, service, food, and location. Breakfast (included in my stay) was served at Tutto Passa restaurant. They offer starters from the buffet along with à la carte options( order on the table) . You must try the shakshuka and the French toast—absolutely delicious! ❤️🩹♥️ Overall, the hotel is quiet and romantic, which makes it very suitable for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Lovely hotel I would stay again!
Modern, clean and quiet rooms, amazing gym and pool. Special shoutout to patience working in the restaurant for breakfast, she was so friendly and helpful even though it was busy. Little cake in the room for my birthday. Dyson hairdryer in the room, beds are sooo comfortable!
Rusty areas in bathroom, some staff were a bit clueless, no discounts for UAE residents. queues for checkout and breakfast.

Exceptional hotel, but skydive dubai lowers the experience a lot!
Great hotel and amenities
The noise of skydive dubai. Unfortunately, even though I loved this hotel I will not return because of the noise produce by skydive dubai. It woke me up every morning around 8 on vacation even though I wore earplugs!

Great weekend break!
The Delano is beautifully situated at the top of Bluewaters in Dubai. The hotel itself is modern and stylish, with a relaxed, laid-back vibe. Staff are friendly, attentive, and clearly focused on ensuring guest satisfaction throughout the stay. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and equipped with a wide range of amenities. The pool area offers plenty of space, with sun loungers, cabanas, and attentive guest services available throughout the day. The beach area is equally inviting, making it an excellent spot to spend a few leisurely hours. Water sports are available through a partner based at the beach, with a variety of options ranging from relaxing activities to more energetic pursuits, including both motorised and non-motorised choices. When it comes to dining, guests are spoilt for choice. The Delano itself has several options, and additional variety can be found at its sister hotel, Banyan Tree, as well as in the nearby shopping area.
The hotel should be stricter with sun lounger reservations; many beds are reserved via a towel early in the morning, but no one is using them for hours.

Breakfast was nice and staff was very friendly and helpful
Room which I booked was nice , reception told me he give me upgrade but I find out the room he gave me was swimming pool view and my original booking was full sea view so I asked my room , so no upgrade no welcome later room was ready for another customer and I really was disappointed

Best hotel in Dubai!
EVERYTHING! Especially the staff, always serving with a smile! The attention to detail across the entire hotel is amazing and the breakfast and dinner at Tutto Passa gets 5 stars! I think they make the best focaccia I have EVER eaten.

One of the best in Dubai
The rooms and minibar are the most thought through ever, with every little detail covered. From Dyson hairdryer to electrolytes in minibar. Very nice design and colors, and closet for clothes very nice. Bed also good, and the softest and best slippers
That beach club not included in stay(but regular pool is, so still you do get pool) Staff and valet a bit slow

A nice weekend staycation.
The gym was excellent, restaurant quality, breakfast service, despite it being very busy. Variety of breakfast food, beach area, the location is nice.
The bedroom lighting is very confusing, room cleaning service didn’t happen during the second day. Some design features are odd, cup handles in the room as an example. An adult pool would be a great addition.

The hotel is in a good location, you can walk around Bluewaters. Overall everything was fine.
Not the best beach - entry into the water through rocks, shallow depth (although the latter is good for guests with children)

old school high luxury standards in a modern setting
Incredible staff, amazing facilities. Delano has old school high luxury standards in a modern setting. Also, great breakfast options.
Delano is absolutely amazing, very clean rooms and impeccable staff, yet there were ants everywhere at the beach and by the pool. I assumed that it was a seasonal issue. Important to note: no ants or whatsoever in my room or indoors. I think it was just a matter of the nature doing its thing outdoors.

Wonderful stay
The hotel seems brand new where i can say true. I will be just talking about the staff and how wonderful they are starting from the valet staff up to the reception staff (especially peter) following up to the restaurant staff they are literally well experienced and GREAT.

A Luxurious Escape at Delano Dubai – Simply Unforgettable
A Luxurious Escape at Delano Dubai – Simply Unforgettable My stay at Delano Dubai was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine warmth and impeccable service. The hotel’s design is breathtaking — elegant, modern, and effortlessly stylish — but what truly made my experience unforgettable was the incredible staff. A special thank you to Sam, Farik, and Beatrice, who went above and beyond to ensure every detail of my stay was perfect. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly stood out. They made me feel not just like a guest, but like a VIP. My room was beautifully designed with stunning views of the Dubai skyline, offering a peaceful and luxurious retreat. The comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches were exceptional. Dining at Delano was also a highlight — the food was exquisite, the ambiance refined, and the service flawless. Delano Dubai is a true sanctuary of luxury and hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Dubai — and I can’t wait to return!

One of the best experiences in Dubai. Lady in Tuto passo (blond hair) was super helpful, we had great dinner. Manager who said goodbye to us at the reception, was super sweet as well. Overall staff experience was amazing. Suite has amazing views, worth paying a bit more. Room service was quick and tasty too.
Nothing. We had ants in the room, but messaged consierge and it was sorted in like 5min.
