JUMEIRAH AL NASEEM

Within the confines of the resort itself, guests can take advantage of five swimming pools, a state-of-the-art gym and nine individual dining venues showcasing a range of culinary styles. The Talise Spa (located at the nearby Jumeirah Al Qasr) serves all four properties within Madinat Jumeirah complex and has been beautifully styled amidst a setting of serene tropical gardens. As well as a wealth of pampering treatments, visitors can take advantage of guided classes in the yoga garden and in the Sound Meditation room. Though Al Naseem undoubtedly has the feel of a more grown-up resort, those travelling with children will still find plenty to keep them occupied – not least the unlimited complimentary access to the neighbouring Wild Wadi Water Park. Active adventurers of any age can also head down to the watersports centre to enjoy activities such as paddle boarding, waterskiing, kayaking, luxury yacht charters and deep sea fishing.
