COURTESY OF THE OBEROI BEACH RESORT AL ZORAH
AJMAN
Arabic Touch
A
jman may be a relatively less-
explored part of the UAE, but its
serene beaches and laidback
vibe have been luring tourists looking for
a break from Dubai’s relentless buzz.
The Oberoi Beach Resort, Al Zorah,
among the newest hotels in the region,
is reason enough to visit this emirate.
A few kilometres from Ajman, in
Al Zorah, the resort is a style statement
in itself, a lesson in minimalistic design.
Set amidst swaying palms along a serene
stretch of the beach, the resort is also
close to the mangrove forests of Al Zorah
that boast rich biodiversity and several
species of birds.
What we love about it are its spacious
villas that come with their private pools;
the rooms and suites have private terraces
if you want to soak in the sun rather than
jump in the waters. Lounge by the beach,
go paddle boarding and kayaking, or spend
time devouring books at the in-house
library with fl oor-to-ceiling glass windows
with vistas of the sea and olive trees before
you. We would suggest slotting time in your itinerary for a hammam at
The Oberoi Spa. Gourmands in the house will fi nd their way to Vinesse, the
all-day diner, that serves world cuisines, and Aquario, by the beach, that has
fresh seafood on its menu.
The Oberoi believes in giving its guests an immersive experience, and
here too, the beach resort has an array of curated experiences on off er.
From a private barbecue under a starlit sky to desert safaris and golfi ng at
the Al Zorah Golf Club, the possibilities are endless. Or, you could bask in
stunning views of the sea and the mangroves from your private terrace,
as the gentle sea breeze lulls you into pleasant slumber. oberoihotels.com
