Located in the emirate of stunning white sand beaches, a delightful contrast to the buzzing metropolis of Dubai is the is the exceptional Fairmont Ajman.

With impeccable hospitality, 7 exquisite dining options, a renowned spa, fully-equipped fitness centre, infinity pool, private beach access and gorgeous panoramic views, you can’t help but enjoy at this wonderful property. Once you enter, you might not want to leave it.

We found the rooms to be the real high point of the hotel. They are nicely designed to make the most of the space. Bathrooms are extremely spacious with rainfall showerheads and cozy bath tubs. The beds are comfortable and the entertainment system is impressive too. The balconies are big, with stunning sea and pool views.

Coming to the restaurants and bars, Spectrum, where breakfast lunch and dinner buffets are served, is a cut above most international restaurants, and lunch is a mixture of buffet and à la carte. Gioia, the laidback Italian restaurant, serves lip-smacking Italian fare. We certainly recommend the mushroom risotto, and the huge pizza oven is an attraction in itself. A Turkish restaurant, Kiyi, offers traditional Turkish delicacies in a cozy setting. The Badr Lounge, on a terrace overlooking the sea is planned to open soon. XOLO Bar has an indoor shisha room, cigar lounge and a selection of house-infused drinks, which makes it a really cool place to relax at after dinner. The Driftwood bar, built on the beach is a great place to enjoy a few drinks and shisha while lying on a hammock and grooving to the tunes of Bob Marley.

If unwinding is your thing, you can’t miss their full-service spa and indoor and outdoor pools. The spa features a variety of rejuvenating body treatments, massages and facials. Not just that, once you’re done with your spa session, you can take a dip in their in-door temperature controlled pool. They also have an outdoor infinity pool where you can enjoy stunning sunset views.

With great food, superb ambiance and spectacular sea views, this hotel is the perfect weekend escape from the hustle-bustle of busy Dubai.
