Dubai Holidays 2027
Seven hours from the UK, guaranteed winter sunshine, world-class hotels and no jet lag worth mentioning — Dubai is the easiest long-haul holiday there is.
Dubai does beach, city and desert in one trip. Mornings on The Palm, afternoons in the world's biggest malls or the aquarium, evenings in the desert or at the top of the Burj Khalifa.
Hotel quality is exceptionally high for the money, and we hold trade rates and perks — room upgrades, resort credit and free-night offers — at many of the big beach resorts.

Dubai holidays — your questions answered
Best areas to stay in Dubai
Palm Jumeirah — the big resort hotels, private beaches and Atlantis — best for families and first-timers. JBR & Dubai Marina — beach plus a walkable strip of restaurants, best if you don't want to rely on taxis. Jumeirah Beach & Umm Suqeim — classic beach resorts with Burj Al Arab views and Wild Wadi on the doorstep. Downtown Dubai — city hotels by the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall — great value, but no beach. Deira & Bur Dubai — old Dubai, the souks and the creek, for the lowest prices and the most character.
Best Dubai hotels for families
Our most-booked family hotels in Dubai are Atlantis The Palm and Atlantis The Royal, Rixos Premium Dubai JBR, JA The Resort and Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort. We match the hotel to your children's ages, tell you honestly which pools, kids' clubs and room types actually work for families, and can hold rooms while you decide.
Best all-inclusive hotels in Dubai
For all-inclusive we recommend Rixos The Palm Dubai, Rixos Premium Dubai JBR, JA The Resort and Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai. All-inclusive standards vary hugely — ask us and we'll tell you what's genuinely included (drinks brands, à la carte dining, snacks and sports) before you book.
Dubai holidays from London
We package Dubai holidays from London Heathrow, London Gatwick and London Stansted, with a choice of airlines, flight times and baggage options. Prices and availability change daily, so ask us for a live quote for your dates.
Dubai holidays from Manchester
Yes — we regularly book Dubai holidays from Manchester as well as London Heathrow, London Gatwick and London Stansted. Regional departures are often cheaper than London once you factor in parking and transfers to the airport, and we'll always price both for you.
Dubai holidays for teenagers
Dubai is very strong for teens: Aquaventure and Wild Wadi water parks, IMG Worlds, Ski Dubai, desert dune bashing, jet skis at JBR and the Dubai Mall. Stay at JBR or The Palm so they have somewhere safe to wander, and remember alcohol is 21+ — all-inclusive drinks packages won't cover older teens.
Best time to visit Dubai
November to April is ideal — 24–32°C, low humidity and every outdoor venue open. May and October are hot but quieter and cheaper. June to September regularly exceeds 40°C, so it's an indoor and hotel-pool holiday, which is reflected in some very low summer prices.
Dubai airport transfers
Dubai International (DXB) is 25–35 minutes to The Palm and JBR, 15–20 minutes to Downtown. Al Maktoum (DWC) is 45–60 minutes to the main beach areas. Private transfers are inexpensive here and we normally include them; taxis and the Metro are also cheap and reliable.
Dubai holiday prices
As a guide, 7 nights 4-star bed & breakfast with flights starts around £750–£950 per person, quality 5-star beach resorts around £1,100–£1,600 per person, and Atlantis The Royal or one-of-a-kind suites £2,500+. Summer dates can be under £600 per person.
7-night Dubai holidays
Seven nights is plenty for Dubai and leaves room for a desert safari, a day in Abu Dhabi and a day at a water park. Many clients do 4 nights Dubai plus a week in the Maldives, Mauritius or Thailand — we build these twin-centres regularly.
Dubai holidays under £3,000
Yes — two people can do 7 nights at a good 5-star beach resort with flights for under £3,000 in shoulder season, and considerably less in summer. Tell us your dates and we'll find the resort where our trade rate stretches your budget furthest.
