We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

RESPONSIBLE HOSPITALITY VERIFIED

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Driving across the 980-foot bridge to the seahorse-shaped Jumeirah Bay feels like you’ve left behind the busy commercial hub of Dubai for a charming island retreat, quietly tucked away along its coastline.

Here, Bvlgari Resort and Residences Dubai stands like a gem with Arabescato marble walls that glisten from under the shadows of a coral-patterned brise-soleil, welcoming you to live out your beachfront Italian getaway fantasies even as you enjoy spectacular views of the Arabian Gulf.

The resort offers 101 sumptuous accommodations, as well as 20 villas ideal for families and groups. Within the complex are The Bvlgari Spa, a fitness center, an exclusive beach club, Bvlgari’s first Marina and Yacht Club and six residential buildings with sea-facing apartments and private mansions.

The Dubai hotel’s five world-class dining venues serve fine international cuisine generously topped with legendary Italian hospitality.

Here, Bvlgari ...

Our Inspector's Highlights

As expected of the Bvlgari brand, the attention to detail in the architectural design — the work of renowned Italian firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel — is a highlight. The use of premium materials, such as Italian onyx, travertine marble, gray Vicenza stone and Shanxi black granite, is prevalent, their incorporation inspired by the resort’s Middle Eastern surroundings.
The property’s location on Jumeirah Bay is befitting of a serene Italian hideaway with plenty of solitude for those who seek it, yet is close enough to reach Dubai’s tourist spots, shopping, dining and nightlife in less than 30 minutes.
Unwind with therapeutic facial and body treatments at the sanctuary-like Bvlgari Spa. Arrive early to use wet facilities such as the hammam, steam, sauna, ice fountains and vitality pools, or relax in the indoor swimming pool, which provides breathtaking sea views through floor-to-ceiling windows.
For the ultimate luxury escape, book the lavish 5,800-square-foot Bvlgari Villa, which features a private beach, a fully equipped bar, a home cinema with a 65-inch screen and a spacious garden terrace with a large oval pool surrounded by cabanas and Arabian-inspired water features.
At the nautical-themed Bvlgari Yacht Club, sample Mediterranean-inspired seafood specialties at the Italian restaurant and take in spectacular marina vistas as you relax in the sophisticated members lounge or at the outdoor pool and bar. The family-friendly venue also has the Little Gems club for children.
