@jaoceanviewhotel and it’s prime location from above 👌🏼. JBR is such a bustling and fun neighborhood with incredible views, wild days and nights and great cuisine. We loved exploring the area and were so blown away by how active and exciting the area has become since our last trip to Dubai a decade ago!

@jaoceanviewhotel has an amazing location overlooking Ain Dubai on JBR. Our favorite part about the hotel was the club lounge on the top floor that has afternoon tea and happy hour where you can enjoy the sunset and the Ain lighting up in the night sky 😍

Missing those Dubai nights with @jatheresort ❤️
Did you know I spent a while living in the Middle East? I remember coming to Dubai for the first time and it was like this crazy, modern metropolis where anything was possible. I loved Jordan more than I’ve loved a lot of places in the world, and coming to Dubai was incredible- massive malls with luxury brands, skyscraper hotels with wild views of Burj Khalifa and architectural phenomenons and so many avocados and imported foods I hadn’t seen in a while. Coming back a decade later and SO much has changed!! We stayed at JA Palm Tree Court, which was one of the early properties in Dubai and we spent an evening at their newest hotel onsite, JA Lakeview and nothing tells the story of change better than the development of this new hotel. Modern architecture, beautiful lighting and incredible design show just how far they’re pushing the envelope on modern design and what’s possible. Who wants to have a drink with us?

Marhaba, Dubai! We ❤️ you! Had such a fun time exploring JBR today. Things look so different from a decade ago, it’s incredible to see the growth of the city. We jet off again tomorrow onto the next destination, but we had an amazing time at @jaoceanviewhotel, who’s location on JBR is seriously its most incredible selling point. You don’t get views like this every day…

How to plan your trip
First establish your travel time frame: quick weekend trip? or weeklong adventure? From there, break down where you want to stay and the activities you want to take part in.
Consider the following:
- Look at trivago.com to scan for the best rates at luxury hotels (we often find the best benefits when booking direct)
- If you have AmEx Platinum, be sure to check their Fine Hotels & Resorts options: you can often gain great inclusions like free breakfast, upgrades and hotel credit for the same rates as booking elsewhere
- When reviewing the available activities- be sure to plan correctly, I.E you cannot scuba dive in the aquarium after going to the top of the Burj Khalifa!
