Bulgari Hotel Dubai: Italian Elegance Meets Arabian Glamour
Tucked away on its own exclusive seahorse-shaped island, the Bulgari Hotel Dubai is one of the city’s most refined luxury escapes, and one that many visitors still don’t know exists. Just minutes from Jumeirah Beach Residence and the energy of Dubai’s most vibrant neighborhoods, this five-star hideaway feels like a world of its own: private, polished, and unmistakably Bulgari.
Designed by the legendary Italian architecture firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, the hotel blends Mediterranean sophistication with contemporary Arabian flair, creating an atmosphere that feels elegant yet relaxed, like slipping into a perfectly tailored suit.
Rooms, Suites & Private Villas
Guests can choose from beautifully appointed rooms and suites overlooking the glittering marina or the open sea, each one thoughtfully designed with bespoke Italian furniture, rich marble bathrooms, and subtle nods to Bulgari’s design heritage.
For those seeking true privacy, the property’s seafront villas offer private pools, kitchens, and personal butler service, making them one of the most understated ultra-luxury accommodations in Dubai.
TBS Tip: Book a room with a sea-facing terrace for sundowner views over the Arabian Gulf, it’s that quiet moment of magic most Dubai hotels can’t offer.
Dining: Italian Excellence in the Middle East
Food is a cornerstone of the Bulgari experience, and nowhere is that more evident than at Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, the hotel’s signature Michelin-starred restaurant.
Here, acclaimed chef Niko Romito brings an elevated interpretation of Italian cuisine to Dubai - refined, minimalist plates crafted with expert precision. Think hand-rolled pasta, velvety sauces, and dishes that honor Italian flavor with unexpected finesse.
Other dining highlights include:
Il Café for chic all-day dining
Hōseki, a nine-seat Japanese omakase experience, one of Dubai’s hardest reservations
Il Bar, where the iconic Bulgari oval bar and skyline views make cocktail hour feel like a Milan fashion moment
The Spa, Beach Club & Private Marina
For tranquility seekers, the Bulgari Spa is one of Dubai’s most serene sanctuaries, drawing on ancient rituals and modern wellness practices. Signature treatments incorporate precious oils, volcanic stones, and exclusive Bulgari-branded products, all within a space of calming marble, soft light, and polished stone.
The hotel also boasts:
A private Beach Club with cabanas and an ocean-facing pool
A state-of-the-art Technogym-equipped fitness center
A 25-meter indoor pool with shimmering mosaic tiles
