Aquaventure is one of Dubai’s biggest and best water-theme parks, and is a massive draw for kids big and small.

Visible from miles offshore, the Ziggurat is the daunting edifice that dominates Aquaventure. Its summit is the launching point to a variety of heart-pumping water slides – two of which catapult riders through a tantalising shark lagoon.

Imagine exploring the mysterious ruins of Atlantis, lost for thousands of years deep beneath the sea. Now picture looking up to see 65,000 marine animals swimming in placid waters around you. Visitors can live out their own Atlantean adventure in The Lost Chambers, the maze of underwater halls and tunnels under the Ambassador Lagoon.

Kids and adults alike will relish the opportunity to get up close and personal with the dolphins who call Atlantis’ four-and-a-half hectare lush tropical setting, modelled carefully on their natural habitat, home. There are three vast lagoons where you can meet these glorious creatures through a choice of interactions.

Spa indulgence

Dubai is set to become the number one spa destination in the world by the year 2010 as global trends see more visitors seeking healthy holidays for rest and relaxation. The emirate is leading international growth in spas, with the industry as a whole experiencing a 17 per cent year on year growth. And with several exciting new luxury properties coming online over the next few years, Dubai’s spa offering is expected to soar even further.

The UAE’s spa business is now the most profitable in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, as the combined annual revenues of the 212 facilities in the country hit almost £154 million annually, a study revealed.

Research conducted by SRI International and Intelligent Spas showed the UAE ranks first in the industry, as it is home to the highest number of spas with an income growth rate of 34 per cent a year.  

Ian Scott, director of the UK and Ireland representative office of Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing comments: “The emirate has one of the highest concentrations of spas per capita in the world, and the growth in the spa industry reflects the trend of today’s hectic society where people are now seeking a high-quality wellness experience. Dubai provides a diverse and world-class spa offering where visitors can expect the best spa facilities in a variety of settings whether it’s at the beach, city or desert.”
