The setting
Perched right on JBR Beach FIVE LUXE puts you at the heart of Dubai’s most vibrant coastline. Sun, sea and sand meet a lively social scene as the pool, beach club and bar areas pulse with music, lights and laughter from morning until late at night. It is an oasis where beach views meet nightlife energy and the city skyline twinkles in the background, including the stunning Ain Dubai wheel visible from all the restaurants. This is not a quiet escape but a high energy playground for adults who want to combine sun soaked fun with luxury living.

The room
Our suite, a Luxe Spa Suite, was the ultimate personal sanctuary. Complete with a bar, lounge area and a sauna it felt like a world of its own. High end finishes, plush textures and thoughtful touches made it a place where you could unwind completely even if you never left the room. Waking up in a space designed for both relaxation and indulgence with private lounging, spa treatments and cocktails at your fingertips was the perfect counterbalance to the non stop party just beyond the door.

The food and drinks
Dining at FIVE LUXE JBR is as much about atmosphere as it is about cuisine. Friday night dinner at Ronin, Dubai’s only Pagoda dining with live teppanyaki, was a feast for the senses. Michelin Guide Dubai recognized sushi, chicken teppanyaki and mochi desserts were served under red lanterns with views of the night sky. Saturday morning breakfast at Cielo was a vibrant spread with freshly baked breads, shakshouka and more served in a beautiful setting with flawless service. Brunch at Tête-à-Tête was a showstopper with what looked like a 60 centimetre croissant to kick off the fun, live music, flowing drinks, a magician and a champagne curtain. The energy did not dip until well into the evening. Poolside dining and cocktails at Playa Pacha rounded out the weekend perfectly keeping the party alive while offering moments of laid back enjoyment.
The activities
At FIVE LUXE the agenda is simple. Play, party and pamper. From champagne brunches with live entertainment to sun soaked afternoons by the pool or beach club there is no shortage of ways to stay entertained. If you need a moment of calm the spa’s hot stone treatments will leave you blissfully relaxed complete with face marks from the intensity of deep relaxation. For the active there is a high tech gym, indoor and outdoor pools and beachside fitness overlooking JBR, perfect for working off all the indulgences.

Staff are warm, intuitive and genuinely invested in making sure you have an unforgettable experience.

This is a hotel where casual clothes take a backseat. Pack party outfits, sunglasses, sunblock, swimwear and a gym outfit for workouts or poolside fitness. The Luxe Spa Suite will handle the rest with dressing gowns, towels and all the pampering essentials included. Leave your workweek worries at home and bring your party spirit instead.
