Sponsored: Could that infinity pool look any more inviting?

With 2018 well underway, it’s time to start planning things to look forward to – and one of the easiest ways to do this is by booking a staycation.

Why book expensive flights and go through the hassle of checking visa requirements to some far-flung destination when everything you need is right here in Dubai? Plus, the weather is so perfect at this time of year, it would be rude to leave it behind.

JA Resorts & Hotels is offering some fantastic staycation deals at the moment, and one that has caught our eye is the Beachfront Family Haven package at JA Palm Tree Court.

This five-star beach resort – a true Dubai gem, is located within the award-winning JA Jebel Ali Golf Resort, and is just a 20-minute drive from Dubai Marina – but feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Check out the beachside swimming pool:

And that spacious, garden view room? Don’t mind if we do…

As part of this package, kids stay for free – but that’s not even the best bit. You’ll also receive free tickets to either Legoland Dubai, Legoland Waterpark, Motiongate Dubai or Bollywood Parks at Dubai Parks and Resorts (which is just down the road).

The package also includes a buffet breakfast and dinner, as well as access to the resort’s private beach, three pools, gym and kids clubs.

Plus, if you stay two nights or more, you’ll get 25 per cent off the best available rate at Dubai’s only true resort. So, there’s no reason not to make a weekend of it.

Here’s a sample itinerary: Wake up in your luxury beachfront suite, just steps away from the sea. Head to La Fontana for breakfast overlooking the swimming pool, and spend the rest of the morning lounging in the sun. Take the kids to Dubai Parks & Resorts in the afternoon, then drop them off at the kids club while you indulge in a spa treatment, or a leisurely round of golf. Get the family together again for a delicous dinner.

Sounds good, right? We’ll see you by the pool…
