This summer, GCC residents are being offered the opportunity to experience Jumeirah’s unique brand of five-star luxury in destinations throughout Europe, with a range of attractive offers, including shopping packages, spa retreats and family beach holidays.
Seeking sun, sea and sand? Then choose between Bodrum, Baku and Mallorca. For those who'd prefer a city break, join in the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations in London; go shopping in Frankfurt; or explore the sights and sounds of Istanbul.
Bodrum: Set along the spectacular Bodrum coast, Jumeirah Bodrum Palace offers beauty and tranquillity on the Aegean Sea. Exclusive suites and villas amidst a prime position nestled in the beautiful Zeytinlikahve Cove offer a balance between luxury, comfort and seclusion while enjoying fresh local flavours.
Book the Ultimate Family Experience and receive daily complimentary family buffet breakfasts, lunch for the kids, a 15 per cent discount on dining and – giving parents a welcome respite - a two-hour daily babysitting service. What’s more, the expertly trained Sinbad’s Kids Club team is on hand to keep children entertained at the children’s pool, aqua park and playgrounds, leaving parents free to enjoy the range of watersports on offer, or to simply relax in the spa (for which there is a 10 per cent discount).
Mallorca: Looking for something more romantic? Built on a cliff overlooking the charming Mallorcan fishing village of Port Sóller, the Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel and Spa promises a wonderful Spanish escape.
Book five nights for the price of four with the Stay 5, Pay 4 package and indulge in all Mallorca has to offer. Adults can relax while their children (3 - 12 years old) are entertained for two hours at Barbaroja's Kids Club each day. And that’s not all, enjoy daily breakfast in Cap Roig Restaurant for two, complimentary internet and access to Talise Spa. Anyone keen to explore can take the complimentary shuttle service to the nearby Port de Sóller.
Baku: A perfect blend of east meets west, Baku is Eurasia at its best, and with visa requirements for the citizens of all GCC countries having recently been lifted, cooler temperatures than the Gulf, and the upcoming Formula One race (June 17-19), there’s never been a better time to explore this fascinating destination.
Set along the beautiful Caspian Sea, Jumeirah Bilgah Beach Hotel’s Summer Delight package offers guests half-board dining and access to the signature Talise Spa, while children can enjoy the play area and the breath-taking slides at the hotel’s waterpark. There are plenty of cultural sites to visit, including the old city of Baku, which dates back to the Middle Ages, and a burgeoning night-life scene.
Istanbul: If it is culture guests are after, then there are not many cities that offer a blend quite like Istanbul, and not many hotels that have a history like Pera Palace Hotel Jumeirah.
Overlooking the magnificent Golden Horn and located in the city’s vibrant Beyoglu district, the hotel combines timeless elegance and glamour with traditional Turkish hospitality – hospitality that through the years has welcomed the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Jacqueline Onassis, Alfred Hitchcock, and Agatha Christie (who is rumoured to have penned ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ in room 411).
Book a three-day get away and enjoy one complimentary night in the Pay 3, Stay 4 offer and make the most of the stay at this iconic hotel.
Travelling with kids in tow? Then Grosvenor House Suites by Jumeirah Living might be a better option. Overlooking Hyde Park, it makes an ideal base for an unforgettable family holiday in the capital and the Children in Charge package offers a host of complimentary treats. With free movies and cookies throughout their stay, children will also enjoy complimentary breakfast and evening tea, beginning and ending the day in style in their new home away from home. The concierge team is on hand to suggest fun days out from paddling along the Serpentine in their very own rowing boat, to the ‘Look Out’ in Hyde Park that turns your little ones into intrepid explorers of the park’s wildlife.
Frankfurt: Shop-a-holics visiting Jumeirah Frankfurt this summer will love the Shop and Stay package. Choose from “Zeil,” one of Europe´s busiest shopping streets, the famous “Goethestrasse” with its designer boutiques and luxury brands or the “MyZeil” shopping mall - all in walking distance of Jumeirah Frankfurt. Or if it’s bargains guests are after, the hotel has teamed up with Wertheim Village, offering a 10 per cent VIP benefit on selected brands, at this outlet village located an hour away. Added extras include daily breakfast and a credit of €80 ($88.8) at signature restaurant Max on One. - TradeArabia News Service
