A trendy new beachfront resort has opened in the UAE

And to celebrate there’s a special all-inclusive staycation deal

Looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city? Well, start packing your bags – we’re going to Umm Al Quwain.

Vida Hotels and Resorts has opened its first-ever beachfront resort in Umm Al Quwain and in even better news, to celebrate the opening of the swish new resort there’s a special all-inclusive staycation deal on offer.

Rates for the all-inclusive deal start from Dhs548 per night, per person and the price includes a slap-up breakfast to kick-start your day, free-flowing house beverages from noon until 11pm, and a specially-curated “island vibe” lunch and dinner menu to tuck into.

Located along Umm Al Quwain’s pretty beachfront, Vida Beach Resort caters to all types of staycationers – whether you’re looking to get away with the gang in tow, take your four-legged friend away on a little holiday or just spend the weekend lazing in the sun, you’ll be well-catered for here.

If exploring is more up your street, the resort is conveniently located just a stone’s throw away from some of Umm Al Quwain’s most popular tourist attractions including the UAQ National Museum – a museum built inside a fort that once was home to the emirate’s ruling family.

You can also explore the stunning coastal mangrove, paddle through the waters, and potentially even spot a flamingo or two.

Comprised of 135 design-led rooms and suites, plus eight spacious chalets on the beach, the trendy resort is home to a swish spa, an all-important infinity pool, a fitness centre, tennis court, and kid-friendly facilities including a kids’ club with an outdoor playground, plus a dedicated pool for the little ones to splash about in.

You can also try out water sport activities on the beach and if you’re bringing your best furry friend along, there are plenty of designated pet-friendly areas dotted around throughout the expansive resort.

Restaurant and bar options include chilled-out lounge Stage2, Origins (if the name sounds familiar, the farm-to-table concept comes Vida Emirates Hills), while for light bites and expertly-made mixed drinks, SOCAL is the one for you. Inspired by southern California, the quirky rooftop bar offers a relaxed yet chic experience.

See you at the beach.
