As the weather cools down, many people in the UAE will probably flock to swimming pools to enjoy the sunshine. However, despite the safety precautions in place, for some, the idea of a busy pool area may not appeal.
However, for those who don't have the luxury of a swimming pool in their building or back garden, nor the budget for a private pool villa at one of the Emirates' many five-star resorts, there's a newly announced option.
For Dh500 a day, you can exclusively book the entire pool area at Hilton Dubai Creek. It offers views of the Dubai skyline from its 14th-floor location.
The pool can be booked for groups of two to 10 people, and a minimum food and drink spend of Dh1,000 applies. It can be rented from 8am until 7pm, daily.
Guests can also enjoy a private dinner by the pool for Dh1,500 per couple.
The deal is available from Thursday, September 17, and bookings must be made a minimum of 48 hours in advance.
For those who want to make a trip of it, the hotel is also offering a special room rate of Dh200 per night, including breakfast.
Hilton Dubai Creek pool is available to hire from Thursday, September 17 to Thursday, December 31, 8am-7pm; 04 318 2111; email Reservations.Dubai@hilton.com
