Why The Voco Monaco Dubai Needs To Be On Your Staycation List
Want to soak in French Riviera vibes without catching a plane? Check into the Voco Monaco Dubai for a waterside staycation
Imagine this: Monte-Carlo glamour with a sprinkling of Miami whimsy and fun. Pristine beach? Check. Turquoise waters? Check. Upbeat music? Check Inflatable unicorns? Of course. Plus sun-drenched pools – complete with a swim-up Lagoon Pool Bar – all-day DJ sets, and bright yellow and red loungers overlooking the sea. If you’re looking to experience the upbeat atmosphere of the South of France, then voco Monaco Dubai ticks all the boxes.
The experience starts from the moment you leave shore, as this resort is set on The World Islands, so you arrive in style by boat. How many other hotels offer berthing rather than parking directions so you can start your stay in true jetset manner?
When it comes to dining, the resort’s Francophile inspiration is very much at the fore. La Brasserie is ready to satiate your cravings all day, with its Belle Epoque décor setting the cosy tone with dark woods, retro mirrors and leather banquettes to sink into. Our top tip? Head there after sunset, when the atmosphere turns up a notch, and the moody interiors really come into their own. Late night drinks coupled with fresh oysters will finish your day on an appropriate high note. If you’re looking to dine outdoors, then seafood is the speciality at La Rive that channels the legendary beach clubs on the shores of the Mediterranean.
Pops of colour abound when it comes to exteriors, punctuated with tropical greenery, but the rooms are a sedate sanctuary decked out in neutral tones to let you unwind. Our top tip? Book the Monaco Suite to amp up the luxury.
This adult-only island is a non-stop party destination – it’s the only hotel in the city which actually lets you enjoy the pool 24/7. From Raining Street – keep your waterproof cameras ready to snap the perfect downpour shot that’ll make you think you’re in Europe – to entertainment that continue throughout the day and night, there are no other resorts that offer such a continuously lively atmosphere that lets you literally dance the night away. And then you can start the day in a similar vibe again.
