Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf

OVERVIEW

With uber-posh seven-star hotels and decadent skyscrapers, Dubai can often be about bigger, better, faster, more. But the flashy city can also offer quietude in the slow lane without having to give up all the luxe pleasures that are abundantly available.

Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf is an oriental gem and probably the closest thing to a boutique hotel you will find in Dubai. Inspired by Old Arabia and made up of 29 stand-alone traditional two-storey courtyard summer houses, this private and luxurious sanctuary set within the big Jumeirah complex offers ultimate solace.
