Mina A'Salam Dubai

Cool, Quiet Elegance Brought to You by Mina A'Salam

 

Tagged as a more silent boutique resort, Mina A'Salam stands in magnificence amongst ancient Dhows and reed boats.  Experience the welcoming hospitality that is distinctly Arabic and enjoy the elegant banquets that this beauty has to offer.

As you are invited to alight from the carriage that transported you from the outside world, Mina A'Salam invites you to step ashore and forget the hustle and bustle of the corporate world. 

 

Join the wild anticipation of the day's first catch or simply wet your feet with the sparkling pool overlooking the waterways of Madinat.  Let the romance seep into your veins as the host of port-side cafes will lull you to a quiet repose. 

 

As a member of the ever-expanding district of Jumeirah, this port of peace is among Dubai's young hotels.  The 3.5 km of waterways links Mina a’Salam to a larger hotel called Al Qasr.  A business centre, a souk, a spa and individual villas are an added combo. The spa boasts of 27 treatment rooms and the souk will mix traditional crafts shops with Gucci that caters to the expensive taste of this paradise.

 

Typical to this side of the world the place is equipped with wind towers to catch the breeze and the ‘mashrabiyya’ screens to separate the balconies.  This is testament to paying homage to age-old traditions. 

The place is very beautiful and like most hotels in Dubai, every nook and cranny of this haven affords a chilling view of the sea.  This one in particular offers a preview of the man-made lagoon. If you're looking for a nice, peace and quiet refuge, this is the place for you. 

 

The rooms are very spacious and there is that signature opulence that one can see in every hotel in Dubai.  But this one is lavished with Arabian themes and arches separating the bedroom from the dressing area and bathroom. Thoughtful additions to the room include a wooden chest, or a hanging lamp, a fresh fruit in the morning, chocolates or any goodies to nibble on are left in evening keeping you constantly surprised, and fed!

 

The quality of service is par excellence and the staff is friendly and very attentive. When you think of luxury and total pampering, imagine this: Refrigerated cold towels, an Evian spray, fruit and refreshments, slices of cucumber to keep tired eyes from swelling in the heat! And what better way to experience having someone waiting on you than to have a towel straightened out and swept of sand waiting to catch your back when you're done with your dip?
