Live like an emperor at Caesars Palace Dubai

Bluewaters is home to the only Caesars Palace besides the original in Las Vegas – and it lives up to its legendary imperial legacy. One of Dubai's best resort, it offers superb hospitality and premium facilities – think pristine pools, a signature spa, dedicated kids club and fine dining restaurants. The rooms are all wonderful – but if you can, take our advice and book a suite for complimentary butler service. Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen is undoubtedly one of the can’t-miss culinary highlights here.
Marvel at the record-breaking Ain Dubai

Bluewaters is the proud home of the world's tallest and largest observation wheel, Ain Dubai. The incredible structure stands at 250m tall, surpassing the London Eye, Singapore Flyer and even the High Roller in Las Vegas. Even while the wheel is closed for renovation it's still a stunning sight, and has quickly become one of Dubai's most famous landmarks. No visit to Bluewaters is complete without taking in Ain Dubai – but don't worry, you literally can't miss it. Ain Dubai is temporarily closed for renovation.
It’s always sunny at Cove Beach

A seafront spectacular, Cove Beach is the perfect place to laze away the day. Housing a restaurant, lounge and three pools, all set to the backdrop of the Arabian Gulf’s turquoise waters, there's a distinctive Mediterranean vibe here that you’ll want to soak in. Enjoy the freshest seafood at Two.0 restaurant, before settling into a private cabana or luxurious day bed on the sand. The beach club is especially lively on weekends, when lounge beats take over.
Taste creativity at The London Project

While Bluewaters Island is home to an array of satisfying restaurants, The London Project is always a popular choice. Step inside to see why. There’s plenty of commissioned art to peruse while the inhouse podcast studio tunes into community topics… and that’s all before you’ve even sampled the food. Championing the best of ‘London Eclectic’, the menu features star eats such as lime and chilli squid, beef croquettes and battered fish and chips.
Get starry-eyed at Madame Tussauds

The first Madame Tussauds in the Middle East is located at the heart of Bluewaters Island. Fans of all ages can explore themed zones looking for their favourite famous faces and mingle with international stars from the spheres of sports, politics, fashion, media and entertainment – think Justin Bieber, Kylie Jenner, Vin Diesel and more. There's also plenty of regional icons like Emirati-Yemeni music star Balqees Fathi and Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram.
Pull up a chair at The Pods

Looking for a luxurious private dining experience? The Pods is the perfect choice. Transparent cocoons not only ensure you are exclusively in chosen company but protect you from the elements while letting you sit 'outdoors'. A botanical-themed decor adds to the al fresco vibe. Pan Asian cuisine is on the menu, including comforting Malaysian beef rendang, Burmese khow suey noodle soup, dim sum, soups and plenty more on offer.
Savour a slice of Italy at Venus Ristorante & Beach Club

Aptly named after the Roman idol of beauty, and with plenty of substance to match its undeniable style, Venus Ristorante & Beach Club is the latest shoreside spot to spill out onto the crystal sands of Bluewaters Island. Joining the mighty Cove Beach at Caesars Palace Dubai, Venus boasts stunning Ain Dubai views, towering palm trees and strategically-strewn hammocks. Stretch out on one of the luxe cabanas or sample the gourmet menu of light bites.
Masterful Asian flavours at Demon Duck by Alvin Leung

He's been awarded Michelin stars for his London and Hong Kong restaurants and now chef Alvin Leung is serving his signature Asian plates in Dubai. Demon Duck at Caesars Palace takes diners on a journey through the Far East, with fresh takes on Cantonese, Malaysian and Korean classics. Opt for the Duck Journey to sample highlights including whole slow-roasted Peking duck served with citrus calamansi baos, duck lettuce wraps and a signature soup.
Climb into Tr88house
Whether the kids are looking to take on their friends at the interactive play zone or grab a bite at the gourmet food hall, you'll find a lot on offer at the Tr88house indoor play emporium. The littlest patrons can explore multi-storey mazes and ball pits at the Munchkin Monster soft play area, while older kids can jump into the trampoline park, opt for a game of laser tag or master glow-in-the-dark mini golf. Shows where brightly-hued characters mingle add to the excitement.
Eat, play and party at Brass Monkey

Expect a buzzing atmosphere at Brass Monkey, a two-storey entertainment venue that promises hours of fun for everyone. The venue – which has a 21+ age policy – houses a 12-lane bowling alley, VR racing simulators, and more than 60 arcade games. Challenge your friends to retro Pac-Man, shooting hoops, air hockey and more. You can get your game on with a Play Pass Card starting from just AED100. These don’t expire, so you can use any leftover credit on your next visit.
