Sandwiched between the bustling city centre and the glistening Arabian Gulf waters is La Mer, Dubai’s eclectic beachfront location! As a bubbling cauldron of entertainment, dining, retail, and leisure attractions, it offers Rovers a taste of the good life – whether that be savouring lip-smacking multinational cuisine, stretched out on the shores of the beach, getting a dose of water sports thrills or traversing its many retail outlets.
Here’s how you can enjoy a snippet of lavish and leisurely living during a micro-holiday at Rove La Mer Beach Hotel – your urban seaside home away from home.
