Overview
Four’s the magic number at the Riu Dubai, when it rolled out the red carpet in winter 2020 – it has a quartet of restaurants and bars.
You’ll find this place on the Deira Islands, a quiet manmade area on the outskirts of Dubai’s city centre. You won’t be far from the action, though – a souk and a bustling spice market will be 20 minutes’ drive away.
Facilities-wise, this place goes all out. Three pools, including a couple with swim-up bars, four eateries and a swish kids’ club are the tip of the iceberg.

Meal-wise, you can help yourself to international, Italian, Asian and Lebanese buffets. There’s plenty for little ones to enjoy, too – they have their own pair of pools and a kids’ club to get stuck in to.
