An indulgent long weekend whether you're looking for a spot of R&R and a blast of sunshine to break up the winter months, or perhaps somewhere for the kids to let off steam for a few days between school terms. Either way, there is plenty to suit. Head for the shopping malls for retail therapy, the desert or waterparks for fun and adventure or relax on the beach and take advantage of the excellent Anantara Spa if you simply need a bit of time and space. Though truly international, there's a hint of the Orient as you'd expect from the Anantara brand. The architecture fuses Thai architecture with contemporary Middle East whilst the restaurants and bars have a distinctly southeast Asian flavour, though there is also an unexpected Australian eaterie.

Day 1 Arrive Dubai
Arrive in Dubai where your chauffeur will greet you and transfer you to your hotel. The resort is set on the eastern side of the Palm Jumeirah crescent just 45 minutes away from Dubai International Airport. Combining traditional Thai architecture with contemporary Middle Eastern flair, the resort is family friendly, suiting those seeking a little R&R as well as thrill seekers attracted to Dubai's glittering towers and malls. Choose from eight accommodation categories, including rooms and villas, all with views. We recommend the unique Over Water Villas which sit over the Arabian Sea, with clear glass viewing panels in the lounge floor.

Day 2 - 4 Dubai
Staying close to home, choose from a range of land and lagoon based activities: There is a fully-equipped gym and three beautiful pools to choose from, as well as tennis courts, beach volleyball and a private beach. Two Kids Clubs cater for young children and teenagers: Tuk Tuk looks after younger children, with activities such as painting, sand castle building, kayaking and arts & crafts whilst Chill Teens Club is a perfect meeting point for older children, with football, air hockey, billiards on offer, amongst other activities. Venture a little further o explore the dunes of the desert by quad bike, dune buggies, camel or 4 x 4.
Take the 'Leap of Faith' at the Aquaventure Water Park, a near vertical drop into a transparent tunnel through a lagoon (with sharks), or try out rides such as Tantrum Alley, Wipeout or Riptide Flowriders at Wild Wadi Water Park. Ride to the level 124 at Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building for a unique perspective or try sky-diving for an alternative view.
The Dubai Mall is the ultimate in retail therapy, famously housing 1,200 outlets in Fashion Avenue, the Gold Souk and the Grove to name just a few. The Mall is also famous for its underwater zoo and aquarium and the Dubai Fountain.
