What kind of vacation spots would attract someone looking for, what some might call a hedonistic vacation experience? Well, of course we would need some kind of fantastically well-appointed 5+ star hotel, with room service, a spa, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, maybe a golf course if you’re into it. There is even a 7 star hotel in Dubai, purportedly the only such hotel in the world.
The name of this remarkable hotel in Dubai is the Burj Al Arab. It sits on the water and evokes a billowing sail and at the minimum of 3,752 AED per night certainly should please the most devoted hedonist’s wildest dreams. There are over 200 suites ranging in size form 170 meters to a whopping 780 square meters of floor space, considerably larger than most private homes. Within the walls of this hotel are 6 “signature” restaurants, stunning conference and banqueting, round the clock butler service, helicopter transport for those in a hurry, and for those willing to lower themselves to ground transportation, a fleet of Rolls Royce limos to ferry guests wherever their heart desires.
There is an exclusive private beach, the Majilis Al Bahar, unlimited access to the “Wild Wadi Waterpark,” for those with an urge for sailing, chartering a yacht can easily be arranged and for couples that brought their kids along, there is “Sinbad’s Kid’s Club” with caregivers on site for ages 1-12, with a bedroom just in case the “younger guests feel tired,” also with private dining.
So if you are a hedonist, with or without kids, but definitely with money, then this exclusive resort deserves at least your consideration.
