During our last trip to Dubai, Ahmed and I stayed at the most fabulous resort in all of Dubai - the Anantara Palm Resort! I remember when we used to live in Dubai, the Anantara was known as the most incredible property because it's the only resort in Dubai with a private pool and overwater bungalows! That being said, we ended up going with a lagoon resort because we wanted to be where *all* the action was. Keep scrolling for some incredible eye-candy and more info on this amazing resort!

Anantara originated in Thailand, so their resorts have a distinctive, thai aesthetic (as you can see above and below) that's weaved throughout the entire resort. 

Check out their beautiful over water bungalows!!!

 

The resort is located on the Palm Island (where we used to live! In fact, you can see our old apartment in the distance in the photo above!) so it's pretty isolated and quiet - just what you need on a relaxing resort vac-ay ;)

The facilities were *amazing* - there's a giant pool, beautiful beach front and this huge lagoon below that can be accessed from the balcony in your room! It's heated, so Ahmed and I took a nighttime swim in the lagoon - it was one of the highlights of our stay!

I'm in the Georgette Hijab - Latte in this blazer-meets-jeans look ;)

Every corner of this resort is a stunning photo-op waiting to happen! One of our favorite things to do was just walk around and take in all the sights. They even have a tennis court and tons of incredible restaurant options. (The Australian steakhouse Bushman's was AMAAAZING!!!)

One thing I did *every* night was soak in the sunset. It was the most relaxing, beautiful ending to my day and something I looked forward to every night, whether poolside or on the beach <3

HUGE thank you to Anantara Dubai for hosting us! We had the most incredible time and we can't wait to return!! Questions about this resort? Leave them below, I'm happy to help!!
