Address Beach Resort
Dubai is a city so packed with superlatives they can begin to lose meaning. But the world’s tallest infinity pool is one that’s well worth making note of. Set on the 77th floor and offering breathtaking views of Jumeirah Beach and Ain Dubai (the world’s tallest observation wheel), this 95-metre, adults-only pool is the crowning glory of Address Beach Resort, the first beachfront offering from Dubai’s homegrown and luxurious Address chain.
The sunbeds, gazebos and private cabanas around the rooftop pool may take top billing but the views are just as good in the elegant spa only two floors below, where huge A-shaped windows look out at the Arabian Gulf. It’s a similar story in the neighbouring gym, full of all the latest kit, and in the stylish rooms and suites. Even entry-level rooms offer views of Dubai Marina through floor-to-ceiling windows, with higher categories treating guests to panoramas of Ain Dubai and the infinite ocean.
At ground level you’ll find more glamorous pools, including a Splash Pad for kids, and beach, while on the hotel’s doorstep are all that you’ll need for a sun-and-sea holiday, including stylish bars and restaurants, fast-food vendors, the yacht-filled Dubai Marina and even an inflatable waterpark.
The hotel’s seven restaurants are well worth a visit too, especially ZETA Seventy Seven by the rooftop pool, whose Asian-fusion-and-seafood-inspired menu includes such signature dishes as iced oysters, wagyu steak and miso lobster.
