From Helicopters To Yachts, Here Are A Few Tips To Make Your Next Dubai Trip More Luxurious

A lot of us movie buffs watch Bollywood films sometimes for the designer outfits and jewellery, but mostly for the beautiful locations that the producers don¡¯t shy away from showing us mortals. The travel ¡®keeda¡¯ was embedded in us ever since we saw Raj take a Euro trip with Simran, yup, that¡¯s when we realised life is all about travelling and experiencing new cultures.

Walking around foreign cities hand in hand, experiencing luxury and falling in love with exotic destinations like the trio from ¡®Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara¡¯ is the ultimate dream and now it can come true!

You read that right, taking a luxury vacation filled with hot-air balloon rides and sunbathing on yachts is no longer just a dream. All this and more can happen with just one trip! Where, you ask? The answer to that question is Dubai!

Dubai is the perfect combination of luxury and culture, with experiences stretching from ATVing in sand dunes to taking in the entire landscape from a helicopter. Here are a few things that will enhance your luxury vacation to the next level:

1. Lavish Cruises:

Get up close to the beautiful blue waters of the Arabian Sea by booking a luxury yacht for a personalised tour around Dubai¡¯s iconic shoreline. Have a luxurious day relaxing in the sun and an unbeatable view of the skyline from off the coast or, take a dinner cruise on Xclusive Yachts at sunset to see the city light up after dark.

2. Hot-Air Balloon Ride:

Picture this - a hot air balloon ride high above the dunes of Dubai's desert. Golden hues, wandering camels and emerald-green oases will have you reaching endlessly for your camera phone to capture the magical scene. Complement your sunrise flight with a gourmet breakfast amid the dunes, travelling by vintage 1950s open-top Land Rover. This feast for all your senses is available from September to May. So start booking!

3. Desert Paradise:

Want seclusion and beauty? Just an hour away from Dubai¡¯s bright lights, Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, sits amongst lush palm groves and rolling sand dunes. This international award-winning hideaway offers 42 spacious suites each with its own private pool, set in a luxurious setting with fantastic views of the dunes while herds of the Arabian oryx or gazelles wander by in a picture-perfect setting. If this doesn¡¯t define luxury, what does?

4. Personal Helicopter:

Why walk around the city when you can fly above it? If you hate driving down and prefer to arrive by helicopter, hotels such as the Burj Al Arab offer a service for guests wanting to spend a few days indulging their most luxurious fantasies or those who simply want to pop in for high tea. Just book through their concierge for your sky-high travel arrangements. Otherwise, book a ride through HeliDubai ¨C their VIP service is at your beck and call for transfers to hotels, golf courses or even the mall.

5. Ride In Style:

In a city where even the police force patrols in Lamborghinis, performance vehicles are a must-have accessory for the city¡¯s socialites. Fit in by renting a supercar from places like VIP Luxury, which features Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis and more. Watch the high rises whizz by in your rearview mirror as you take an iconic drive down Dubai¡¯s famous Sheikh Zayed Road, or cruise along Jumeirah Beach Residence and Downtown Dubai to see and be seen.

Dubai has endless luxurious experiences to offer and we are ready to pack our suitcases for a Christmas trip!
