Nurai Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

• Barefoot luxury: As soon as you arrive at Nurai Island you’ll see that this five-star resort is the epitome of luxury, style and opulence. Your Beach villa is a symphony of white linen and chic design, and you’re perfectly placed to roll out of bed in the morning and make the arduous 10-metre journey before you feel the white sand between your toes and wake up with a refreshing swim in the sea. If that wasn't enough, you’ll no doubt enjoy the benefits of your own private plunge pool, where romantic moonlit moments are bound to ensue.
  
  
• Diverse dining: When it comes to dining at this Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice resort, you’re simply spoiled for choice. The all-day dining menu at Frangipani is simple but rich, masterfully marrying influences of Middle Eastern, Asian and Western cuisine, and at Dusk the mouth-watering Mexican specialities are best enjoyed when admiring the stellar sunsets. Meanwhile, Hooked whips up sublimely fresh seafood, but if it’s sashimi platters that really get you going then head straight to Ginger Mermaid for its Asian offering. Then there’s Smokin’ Pineapple, where you can expect iconic drinks and woodfired pizza by day, and live music and a popping cocktail bar at night.
  
  
• Oasis of calm: The island invites a sense of true peace and tranquillity, but if you really want to up the ante then the award-winning Nurai Spa will blow you away with its tailored treatments, mesmerising massages, ocean vistas and relaxation areas. For anyone who has a fitness regime to keep up with, the state-of-the-art gym is full to the brim with all of the latest and greatest gym equipment, as well a Jacuzzi for you to flop in afterwards.
