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.

The entire staff was welcoming, always smiling, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. The service was warm and professional, which made us feel very comfortable.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have chosen InterContinental Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa to celebrate my beautiful mother’s birthday. From the moment we arrived and were warmly welcomed by the valet team until the time we said our goodbyes, every moment of our stay was exceptional.
The resort is stunning, and our oceanfront villa was simply unforgettable. Everything was immaculate, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The food, dining options, and overall value for money exceeded our expectations.
What truly made our stay special was the incredible team. Thank you for making my mother feel so loved and celebrated. A special thank you to the team who arranged the beautiful birthday surprise in our villa, the front desk staff, the valet team, the golf cart drivers, and the managers we had the pleasure of meeting.
Special thanks to the wonderful team at NoHo Restaurant for the birthday cake. Special thanks to Chef Shibin for taking such great care of my mother at breakfast, Yousef for the delicious coffee, and Siva, Limbu, Akendra, Rama, and everyone else who contributed to the birthday and farewell cakes and provided such exceptional service.
Your genuine warmth, kindness, and attention to detail made this celebration unforgettable. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate such a special occasion, and we can’t wait to return.
