Hotel Hotspot: Banyan Tree Dubai combines coastal beauty with contemporary chic

The resort offers a blend of convenience, tranquillity, and breathtaking vistas.

Dubai is famous for its sun-kissed shores, towering skyline and luxurious living. Recently, the city welcomed another hospitality hit – Banyan Tree Dubai. Formerly Caesar’s Palace, this resort has undergone a remarkable transformation, emerging as a beacon of modern elegance.

Situated on the tranquil shores of Bluewaters Island, Banyan Tree Dubai enjoys a prime location that offers both serenity and convenience. The resort is a stone’s throw away from Jumeirah Beach Residences and Dubai Marina. With a private beachfront overlooking the Arabian Gulf and Ain Dubai, guests are treated to breathtaking vistas that capture the essence of Dubai’s coastal beauty.

Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the attentive staff and enveloped in the bright, airy ambience of the lobby. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the space in natural light, offering glimpses of the pool and beach ahead. The design aesthetic is sophisticated yet inviting, with creamy tones and subtle brown accents adding warmth and depth to the surroundings.

Banyan Tree Dubai boasts an impressive array of accommodations designed to cater to every traveller’s needs. With 178 rooms and suites, 96 apartments, ten event spaces, and a luxurious villa, the resort offers a range of experiences to ensure a memorable stay.

Luxurious Living

After exploring the lobby, we checked into our Bliss Resort View Guestroom. We were immediately blown away by its mid-century modern interiors and panoramic waterfront views. The room boasted standard amenities such as a television and a well-stocked mini bar. Its minimalist furnishings were accentuated by tastefully patterned cushions, adding an extra layer of allure.

Wood panelling adorned the entirety of the room, adding to the design of the space and resulting in a space-saving layout where practicality is prioritised without sacrificing aesthetics. This ingenious approach allowed for the segmentation of distinct areas within the room — such as the separation of the minibar from the room, or the room to the bathroom — through the use of sliding doors.

Though vertically designed, the bathroom also featured a separate toilet area for privacy. The remainder of the space boasted double sinks and an oval bathtub with a floor-to-ceiling window, providing wow-worthy views to enhance your soak. Additionally, the room included a balcony, perfect for conversations and over a cup of coffee. 

Delightful dining

With four distinct dining venues, you’ll be spoiled for choice at Banyan Tree Dubai. At Alizée and Alizée Pool & Bar, guests can indulge in French Mediterranean cuisine against the backdrop of the pool or the beach. Meanwhile, Demon Duck by celebrity Chef Alvin Leung offers a playful twist on Chinese classics. On the first floor, TakaHisa serves up authentic Japanese fare, but for a serene tea experience, the Japanese tea lounge Tocha provides a perfect setting to unwind with some shisha.

Rest and relaxation

In addition to its accommodations and dining options, Banyan Tree Dubai boasts an array of amenities designed to pamper and rejuvenate guests. Three outdoor swimming pools beckon guests to take a refreshing dip, while the 500-metre private beach offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the top-of-the-range gym, while those in need of relaxation can indulge in luxurious treatments at the Banyan Tree Spa.

From its stunning location and impeccable design to its lavish accommodations, delightful dining options, and world-class amenities, every aspect of Banyan Tree Dubai exudes sophistication and style. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a wellness retreat, this resort offers an escape that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
