Shasha is the hub of entertainment, be it pool parties, yoga or cinema under the stars, and make sure you grab a spot here in time for the sunset views over the ocean. This hotel is a great pick for families, with spacious suites and villas with private pools available for larger parties, and an extensive kids activity programme to keep them occupied, giving you time to visit the spa for a massage to unwind. If you don’t want to simply ‘fly and flop’, you’re only 45 minutes away from Dubai with it’s magnificent shopping centres, water parks and attractions galore.
