There are a wide variety of hotels to suit all budgets - staying inside the city walls you will find the more traditional accommodation compared to outside the city walls, where larger hotels with pools and spas can be found. We recommend the latter for Valentines - combining sight seeing with some intimate relaxation. The Capaldi is set within 6 acres of olive groves and boasts a spa for relaxation.\n

If you are able to spare Monday to Friday then Dubai may just be the perfect place for you this Valentines.
