DUBAI, UAE: Hilton Dubai Jumeirah & Hilton Dubai Creek

Jet-setters can zip off to Dubai, the jewel of the United Arab Emirates and a cosmopolitan oasis nestled among ancient cultures and striking landscapes. Couples can start their visit at the Hilton Dubai Jumeirah’s Spa, where they can experience a special “Glowing Body” treatment made up of an aromatic scrub of coconut butter, lavender, lemongrass or mocha, and a soothing massage using moisturizing oils. Once sufficiently relaxed, couples can make their way across town to the Hilton Dubai Creek to dine at Verre by Gordon Ramsay, where the executive chef has prepared a special four-course dinner of salmon, caviar, lobster and a hot chocolate fondant with Baileys ice cream to finish. Lovers can finish their evening back at the Hilton Dubai Jumeirah by lounging in a private tent on the beach complete with waiter service, champagne and romantic music. If inclined to leave their luxurious hotel accommodations, couples will find more than enough activities to keep them occupied, including visits to archaeological excavations, incredible shopping, a visit to the Dubai Museum or even a day of skiing at Dubai’s indoor ski slope.
