Why we love it
The setting
Stella Di Mare sits in Dubai Marina, a short walk from the waterfront promenade where yachts line the water and cafes spill onto the boardwalk. The tower rises 31 floors above the district, so higher rooms look out over the marina and the towers around it. Dubai Marina Beach is under a kilometre away, and the tram and metro links make the rest of the city easy to reach without a car.
What to expect
This is a 5-star hotel with Art Deco styling running through the public spaces, from the wood-panelled lobby to the rooftop dining floors. Rooms are large by Dubai standards, with floor-to-ceiling windows, marble bathrooms and city or marina views depending on the floor. There is a gym, several restaurants and bars, and breakfast can be added at booking rather than coming as standard with this rate.
Things to do nearby
The marina promenade and Dubai Marina Mall are both within walking distance, the mall about 1.1 km away. Dubai Marina Beach is roughly 844 metres from the door for a morning swim. Further out, Ski Dubai and Mall of the Emirates sit around 8.5 km away, and the Burj Al Arab is about 9.5 km along the coast. Aquaventure Waterpark is a 7 km drive for a family day out.
Best for
Couples and families who want a marina base with beach access, good dining on site and quick transport links into the rest of Dubai. The 5-night stay suits a longer winter break.

Your 5 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Marina arrival walk
Arrive and settle into the room, then head down to the marina promenade to find your bearings. An evening stroll along the boardwalk takes in the yachts and the towers lit up against the water.
Beach and mall day
Spend the morning at Dubai Marina Beach, under a kilometre from the hotel. In the afternoon, wander Dubai Marina Mall and stop for coffee overlooking the water before dinner at one of the hotel's restaurants.
Ski Dubai trip
Take a day trip to Mall of the Emirates and Ski Dubai, both around 8.5 km away. The indoor slope is a novelty in the desert, and the mall has plenty of dining for lunch before heading back.
Aquaventure waterpark
Drive out to Aquaventure Waterpark on Palm Jumeirah for the slides and lazy river, about a 7 km trip. Back at the hotel, unwind at the bar or the rooftop dining floor in the evening.
Last morning by the water
Use the last morning for a final walk along the promenade or a coffee by the marina before checkout. A short detour past the Burj Al Arab on the coast rounds off the trip.
