As Eid Al Adha approaches, those looking for a relaxing break (a.k.a. no flights required) are in for a treat. Several luxurious Dubai properties are rolling out exceptional packages in honor of the holiday, making for the perfect staycation options. Keep scrolling for five of Savoir Flair’s favorite picks.
The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai
Let’s start by breaking down The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai by numbers. With 400,000 square feet of landscaped gardens, 294 luxurious rooms and suites, nine outstanding restaurants, and six swimming pools, there are zero reasons not to book a long weekend at this sprawling property for Eid Al Adha. If you’re looking for a place where the entire family can unwind, The Ritz is offering a special ‘Better Together’ package under which families can stay three nights for the price of two. There’s even the ‘Ritz Kids’ program, which caters to children ages four through ten, offering hands-on activities from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. under the supervision of the hotel’s dedicated childcare team.
Prices start at AED 871/SAR 889 per night

Conrad Dubai
Those seeking a cosmopolitan staycation should head to Conrad Dubai, which is located just minutes away from The Dubai Mall and features five trendy dining venues as well as an outdoor pool with lush gardens and panoramic views. From dinner at Cave (a trendy Mediterranean restaurant built to look like a stone grotto) to the Little Black Door lounge that is located on the ground floor, this is the definitive location if you’re looking for a swanky Eid staycation.
Prices start at AED 630/SAR 643 per night

Four Seasons
Four Seasons is offering three luxury staycation options across its Abu Dhabi Al Maryah Island, Jumeirah Beach, and DIFC locations this Eid – all at up to 20 percent off. If you’re hoping to indulge in a little retail therapy, we suggest you opt for the Abu Dhabi property, which connects to The Galleria mall, but if a beach break sounds more appealing, explore the Jumeirah Beach property’s ‘Dubai Getaway’ package. Meanwhile, art buffs will feel right at home among the galleries and fine-dining options that surround the DIFC location.
