Dubai Stay

Discover decadent Dubai before spending an all-inclusive week or more on the sublime beach of Bali, with all travel and a spa treatment included

Gloria Hotel, Dubai (three nights)

This impressive 41-storey hotel boasts a prime location in the business district of Dubai, conveniently close to the designer shops of Dubai Mall and near to the world's tallest structure – the Burj Khalifa. Your Deluxe City View suite shows off a skyline panorama from the balcony and comes with all the right mod cons, including a kitchenette, separate living room, flatscreen TV and Wi-Fi. The hotel boasts top-class facilities, from a wellness spa and swimming pool to fitness classes. Seven palate-pleasing drinking and dining options are available too, including Sky Lounge on the 40th floor with its panoramic views of the city, all-day dining restaurant La Terrasse and authentic Asian cuisine at Noodle House on the ground floor. Gloria Hotel carries a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.

Bali Tropic Resort & Spa, Bali (seven or 10 nights)

Nestled on a forested peninsula, overlooking an immaculate curve of white sand (part of the famous Nusa Dua beach), Bali Tropic Resort & Spa beautifully blends ornate Balinese and modern architecture. Expect traditional carved statues, authentic tiled roofs, graceful lines and even a temple in the grounds. Its beautiful setting among frangipani and bougainvillea, coupled with breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, makes for a truly relaxing beach sojourn, earning it a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.

Going all-inclusive means all you have to do is choose where to slip even deeper into chilled out-mode - be it in the swim-up pool bar, the sublime spa or down at the beach. The latter sports an elegant array of loungers and is protected by an arc of stone jetty, making the clear warm waters even calmer for swimming. Your rustic-luxe air-conditioned Deluxe bungalow room comes with eight rooms spread over two floors, canopied beds and stone-carved bathrooms, making it a magical spot for a super-chilled week.
