There is no place like the UAE when it comes to luxury and style. If you are looking for a memorable travel experience, this is the place to be.

When the Indian Premier League got shifted to the UAE due to the coronavirus crisis in India, there was some concern regarding moving such a large tournament like the IPL to a new location. However, what there was no doubt about was that the teams were going to enjoy a memorable stay in the lap of luxury in the UAE.

Most teams invested in having a section of their hotel to themselves, with good views and open spaces so that players can have a relaxing time during their nearly three-month stay. And the players have kept us posted with regular social media updates from their five-star temporary abodes.

So where exactly are the IPL teams staying in the UAE? Above is a picture gallery showing the opulent accommodations of the eight franchises during their stay in the country. To view the next image, click on the arrows or swipe if on a mobile device.
