Kid Friendly Dubai Hotels

Dubai is a great city for kids; there are so many fun things for kids of all ages to do.  It’s also a city with hundreds if not thousands of great hotels.

My grandsons love Dubai and are looking forward to this summer’s vacation.  We haven’t decided where we will stay yet, there are so many hotels to choose from, it’s going to be a hard choice!

Here’s a list of the most kid friendly hotels in Dubai, a couple that we’ve stayed in and those we are considering for this year’s visit.

*Room rates shown are for this summer’s peak season for 2 adults & 2 children, they are slightly lower during off peak season

Atlantis The Palm is situated on the man made Palm Island.  Like it’s counter part in the Bahamas this hotel has its own waterpark with slides, wave pools, lazy river, and more. Hotel guests have free Aquaventure Waterpark admission every day of their stay and get discounts on park activities such as the zipline rides, shark safari, and more.  Guests also get discounts to the Lost Chamber Aquarium and activities there.

Aside from the waterpark hotel guests have access to the hotel pools, kids and teen clubs, play zones, nanny services, and more; extra fees may apply for some services and activities.

If you feel like splurging the hotel has these super cool signature Neptune and Poseidon Suites which are underwater!  Their windows look into the hotel’s Ambassador Lagoon, wake up to the sight of fish swimming by your “window”.
