Valentine’s Day in Dubai
10 romantic ideas for saying “I love you” to each otherFollowing in the footsteps of Hollywood star Eva Longoria, who recently chose Dubai to celebrate her engagement to José Antonio Baston, couples can opt for a romantic break in Dubai on Valentine’s Day and throughout the year.
Dubai Tourism recommends 10 unique experiences to share for two:

Taking the plunge together

Thrill-seekers will opt for a free-fall jump over the famous artificial island of The Palm, with Skydive Dubai. The photograph will undoubtedly feature on the cover of your souvenir album.

Watch the desert sunrise in a hot-air balloon

At a more leisurely pace, romantics will enjoy the memorable spectacle of a sunrise in a hot-air balloon, contemplating the immensity of the desert and its changing colors, the dunes as far as the eye can see and the majestic Hajjar mountains.

20 minutes to declare yourself… by helicopter

Every day, Uber provides a 20-minute helicopter flight from Atlantis The Palm. Lovers will be able to contemplate Old Dubai, Downtown Dubai with the Burj Khalifa tower, and finally the brand-new, fashionable Dubai Marina district.

Saying yes at the top of the world’s tallest tower

Perched 555 meters above sea level, the Burj Khalifa SKY lounge is certainly one of Dubai’s most emblematic places to declare your love. Access to this cosy lounge on the 145th floor of the Burj Khalifa tower is via a dedicated elevator. With a glass of champagne in hand, you can gaze out over the entire city.
Swim with dolphins
Located within the Atlantis The Palm resort, the Aquaventure water theme park offers an exclusive experience: swimming with dolphins. The more adventurous can also opt for the park’s many thrilling activities.

A drink in the Dubai sky

If you’re looking for height and a drink with a breathtaking view of Dubai, there are several options: the Level 43 Sky Lounge at Four Points by Sheraton, with a bird’s-eye view of the futuristic skyscrapers on the main thoroughfare, or an Oriental-style rooftop at One and Only Royal Mirage.

Romantic dining on the water
While there are plenty of restaurants in Dubai, couples can opt to dine at the Pierchic restaurant in the Madinat Jumeirah resort, named one of the city’s most romantic restaurants by Time Out magazine for the past two years. Located at the end of a private jetty overlooking the sea, the venue offers refined Mediterranean cuisine.

Discovering the city in a Bentley

Surprise your lover and treat yourself at the same time, that’s the formula proposed by Platinum Heritage with this exploration of the city in a Bentley, including a visit to a private collection of 125 of the world’s most prized classic vehicles. After lunch in one of the city’s elegant cafés, the experience is rounded off with a race in a McLaren MP4-12C.

A moment of 100% relaxation at the spa

While most of Dubai’s hotels have sublime spas, among the most recent, the luxury hotel One and Only The Palm presents its brand-new Guerlain spa; the Saint Regis hotel, which opened in November, offers its Iridium spa, while the Anantara The Palm hotel unveils a completely renovated spa, with oriental and Asian notes.

A cruise on a traditional boat

In old Dubai, cross the famous Creek en abra, a traditional wooden water cab. For just a few dirhams, you can charter the boat for a timeless mini-cruise at sunset, in a magical light, before strolling hand in hand through the souks.
