Doesn’t this make you want to take a deep breath and smile? The @fourseasons #Dubai in #Jumeirah is such a short drive from some of the busiest parts of town – Dubai Mall, for one – and yet creates an atmosphere that is its own, calm universe….

The Welcome

Winding up a green hill in line for the valet behind Bentleys and Lambos, we enter a world of luxury before stepping foot in the Four Seasons Jumeirah. Once out of the car, we see beautiful arches to the right and left. This beautiful symmetry of arches continues again inside the hotel lobby, before we are greeted with a grand winding staircase leading down to the gardens and the beach. The only thing that will tear your eyes from the view is your cell phone, so you can scroll through filters on Insta. Except you won’t need any #nofliter.

Arches pointing to a light at the end of the tunnel…

The symmetry, the lights, the accents of colour… beautiful interior design

Sweet Suite

Dubai is a busy, busy city in the middle of the desert. The rooms at the Four Seasons provide the opposite experience: quietude, laziness and greenery. The rooms are decorated in simple colours to keep attention on the gardens and beach outside. There are some serious pieces of art on the walls, though.

So many places to sit to admire the room… Photo courtesy of Four Seasons Dubai Jumeirah

Food-tastic

For a breathtaking, airy sea view with a side of the freshest fish in town, Sea Fu hits the spot.  We loved the black cod and found the wasabi cocktail full of surprises.

First one to arrive for dinner at Sea Fu at a table for 14… yay me… #earlybird

Craving steak? Nusret serves up some of the best cuts of meat in town. Just save room for the super sweet baklava with ice cream.

Nusret baklava: hot and cold, sweet and savoury… a heady mix of contradictions that will make you so happy 🙂

Brekkie: an insane breakfast buffet… made-to-order omelettes? So last year. This place has a full on Italian coffee bar. HH must-try: #Nutella mocha. You’re welcome.

Instaparty

Start off with drinks @coyadubai then continue the madness over at @provocateur_dubai. Selfie Time: there’s a giant bathtub with a stuffed animal in it at #Provocateur. It won’t take too many cocktails before you’re posing next to it.

There’s a seriously gorgeous view of the @burjkhalifa from #mercurylounge at @fsdubai! Music is popping and the DJ is a woman in the highest #louboutins we’ve ever seen 🙂

Spa-mazing

Indoor swimming has never been this glamorous… the facilities are as talked-about as the actual backrubs. My favourite part was actually the hair salon, En Vogue, where you can read fashion books and get the best blow dry ever. Pricey, but a treat.

Turn heads in this gorgeous outfit that is equal parts classy and sexy. The pink and beige shades will set off a glowing tan after a day spent poolside at #fourseasonsdubai. Wear this as you flit from @mercuryloungedubai to @coyadubai before dancing the night away at @provocateur_dubai. … you social butterfly, you 👠💕 Curated with love by fashion consultant extraordinaire @ruladajani
