Honest review
A base for an active holiday in Dubai: the Jumeirah Beach Residence district, the private Azure Beach Dubai beach club and a sports programme that could fill a month.
Count it up: yoga, Pilates, TRX, CrossFit, Kangoo Jumps, group bike rides, a fully equipped gym with strength machines, bikes, treadmills and ellipticals, plus outdoor sessions and the Jungle Gym.
Between workouts — three pools (two for adults, one for children) and six jacuzzis with private cabanas.
The award-winning Turkish-style spa deserves an evening of its own — it is conceived as an oasis of relaxation and health.
An honest caveat: JBR is one of Dubai's most popular districts; you come here for the energy of a city by the sea, not for silence.
Who it is for: honeymooners, families and anyone who wants urban Dubai with a proper beach club and sport every day.
