Rixos Premium Dubai JBR: Premium & posh

Let’s find out what makes Rixos Premium Dubai JBR a chic urban destination in the heart of Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Residence.

If you’re tired of the same old, boring hotels and want to stay somewhere lively, colourful, and contemporary, go to Rixos Premium Dubai, JBR. Upon entering this paradise, it appears to be a universe of unique and immersive experiences, rather than a hotel. A look at the ceilings is nothing short of a lighting show, and the ever-rotating light display as you enter is another highlight. Truly, every corner of the property is photogenic, and the vibes are incredible.

What makes this hotel an excellent choice for spending time with friends and family is the panoramic room views overlooking the beach and the world’s largest Ferris Wheel, Ain Dubai; this is something beyond words that must be experienced by staying here.  The 35-storey urban lifestyle hotel welcomes guests from all over the world to stay in this exotic paradise where the pulse of the city can be felt. 

What I also loved about this hotel was its proximity to renowned shopping destinations such as The Walk, Dubai Marina Mall, and Mall of the Emirates. For individuals who want to quickly acquire stuff on the run, there are so many amazing outlets nearby to spoil you.

Rixos Premium Dubai is a chic urban hotspot situated in the heart of Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Residence. The immaculate Crystal Tower design, with strong diagonal shapes extending from the atrium interior walls out onto the pool terrace is an architectural icon that is transforming JBR’s cityscape.

The comfy modern rooms are every inch fashionable and chic, and the hotel has made significant investments in technology. Everything seemed in place and great, from the smart controls to the hotel’s amenities.

You simply have to explore this property and you will be astonished to find superb dining options, infinite entertainment options, and unequalled outlets all within this hotel. Rixos Premium Dubai JBR has nine award-winning dining venues, including Turquoise, which serves signature Turkish cuisine, as well as world-renowned brands including STK, Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes, Lock, Stock & Barrel, and more.

When it comes to food, Rixos Premium Dubai JBR will make you crazy with so many options that it will be difficult to pick. However, at the Turquoise Restaurant, I observed one of the largest buffet concepts serving authentic Turkish and International cuisines.

The food is the highlight of this hotel and if you enjoy burgers, Black Tap is the spot for you. Each burger is created from scratch using the freshest ingredients and grilled to perfection. Black Tap features live sports matches and DJs; it’s a terrific location to hang out with your friends.  

Another great place is STK which is a modern American steakhouse that serves the best cuts of meat and a delectable cuisine. STK is a high-energy restaurant with a trendy New York design and an elite party atmosphere, offering the perfect combination of outstanding food and a terrific party.

For coffee enthusiasts, the Belgian chocolatier’s Godiva Café is world-famous. You may enjoy delicious and unique chocolate creations as well as the finest coffee in a modern setting with spectacular views of the Arabian Gulf. For pizza aficionados like me, Luigia takes pride in offering great pizzas in a friendly and modern setting. This award-winning restaurant promotes simplicity and quality, serving up warm Italian flavours in a variety of traditional Italian meals. 

Ammos is a dining experience inspired by Greece’s natural beauty, bringing you gastronomic treasures from Greece while embracing real Greek hospitality and the calm of Mediterranean life.

Once you’ve finished relaxing in your exclusive suite, I recommend that you check with the hotel and plan your agenda, as there is an excellent line-up of entertainment for visitors. With a regular lineup of live DJs, singers, bands, harpists, and pianists, guests have plenty of options for live entertainment. If you, like me, prefer adventure above all else, I recommend sky and sea experiences. There will be no dull moments with such a diverse range of activities suitable for both families and those seeking exploration and discovery. Snorkelling, stand-up paddle boarding, fly fishing, jet skiing, water skiing, parasailing, donut rides, wakeboarding, and even scuba diving are among the many motorised and non-motorised activities offered.

You can also charter a yacht and relax with your pals while enjoying stunning views of JBR and other iconic buildings.

Azure Beach, located in Rixos Premium Dubai JBR, is a social paradise where you can enjoy poolside facilities, a lounge area with mouth-watering foods, entertainment, and amazing nightlife. You will also find private island beds by the pool which are overlooking the Dubai Eye Ain Dubai and The Palm. Azure Beach serves lunch and dinner poolside and by the sea, with Asian fusion meals. Relax and rest on the shisha terrace while enjoying daily entertainment, which includes live music from a DJ and saxophone. Many activities take place at the beach, and you can find out more about them from the hotel.  

RixGym is the place to be if you love fitness. The design combines urban exercise with floor-to-ceiling vistas of the Arabian Gulf. The fully equipped fitness centre features cutting-edge machines for weightlifting, cycling, and cardio. What I liked best about this place was the opportunity to participate in exciting and challenging masterclasses offered by renowned professionals in the region. From boxing to jumping fitness yoga or Kangoo Jump, their skilled trainers will keep you motivated while you improve your heart rate, fitness, and mood.

There is also a Rixy Kids Club for children where they can participate in a variety of activities such as hand painting, cupcake decorating, scavenger hunt, face painting, mask decorating, and yoga. So, when you’re looking for a peaceful session, enroll your youngster in these amazing activities.

With all of these adventurous sports during the day, your mind has to be at ease, thus the highly recommended Naturelife Spa should be your next stop. Prepare to rejuvenate, relax, and refresh your mind and body with the variety of distinctive treatments available. Experience the revitalising benefits of a classic Turkish Hammam or indulge in one of the spa’s specialty massage treatments, such as Balinese, Thai, Swedish, and Aromatherapy, in a calm luxury setting. The gorgeous appointment treatment rooms and experienced therapists will keep you returning time and time again, elevating the spa experience. 

Clearly, it is a magical propety that you will always want to return to…
