Safaris, mountain hiking, jogging, mountain biking, aqua aerobics, yoga, boxercise, spinning, jet skiing, kayaking, snorkelling, scuba diving… You name it, it’s here. Nestled at the foot of the majestic Al Hajar Mountains, Fairmont Fujairah Beach Resort lies along the coastal region of Dibba, the second largest town in the emirate of Fujairah. And with all this natural beauty around it’s no wonder that outdoor activities are at the heart of this five-star hotel.
The luxury, 180-room and suite resort is surrounded by panoramic views of the Gulf of Oman. With that in mind, it is a go-to spot for both couples and adventurous families – with a number of kids’ clubs run by the hotel for little ones. From international to Italian, to the freshest of seafood, five restaurants cater to every palette.
After all that outdoorsy lifestyling, be sure to enjoy some rest and recuperation in the Willow Steam Spa – where you’ll find manicures, facials, massages and more waiting for you. There’s also a fully-equipped fitness centre or lounge at Lava Beach Club, if you’re after something a little more sedate.
And for a bit more of a more unusual approach to exercise, take on the Aqua Bounce waterpark. It’s an inflatable, floating obstacle course on the sea – made up of swings, slides, towers and bridges. Fun guaranteed.
