The Restaurant at Burj Al Arab

"Non-guests can visit the Burj provided they have a reservation at one of the restaurants or bars, and occasional tours are allowed in the public spaces"

"Additional facilities are as luxurious as you'd expect: They include the Assawan Spa & Health Club, a secluded infinity pool, and six restaurants, among them the Al Muntaha, 656 feet above sea level on the 27th floor, which serves Mediterranean cuisine, and Al Mahara, the flagship seafood restaurant on the ground floor"

"Whatever form of suite you stay in there’s pretty much every business and leisure facility you could imagine, including the superlative Assawan Spa, a handful of spectacular restaurants and bars and a fabulous stretch of beach"

"Try the wagyu burger at the hotel’s beach restaurant – Majlis Al Bahar – or pay a visit to the rainbow-coloured spa and fitness club right at the top"

"The public can't gain access to the hotel (except with a restaurant or bar reservation) because it sits on a man-made islet just offshore, so you'll have a ton of privacy, but you'll be paying for the privilege"

"June 2016 saw the opening of the Burj Al Arab Terrace - a one-of-a-kind restaurant, pool, beach, and cabana space"

"Situated just off the coast of Dubai on an independent island, visitors can access the grounds by attending high tea in the afternoon or dining in one of seven restaurants"

"Regularly touted as the world’s most luxurious hotel, it’s not resting on its laurels with a brilliant new pool deck and seafood restaurant from British chef, Nathan Outlaw"

"Junsui, a Japanese-influenced Asian restaurant, has a menu as appealing as its opulent decor"

"Want to escape modern Dubai for a bit? The neighborhood of Bastakiya, on the west side of Dubai Creek, houses shops, restaurants and galleries in a renovated quarter with centuries-old architecture"
