Le Méridien Mina Seyahi is a five-star beach resort on the Jumeirah coastline, between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah and next to Dubai Harbour. It shares its grounds with the Westin next door, and the two hotels sit on 700 metres of private beach with gardens, pools and the Jungle Bay waterpark in between. The feel is relaxed and outdoorsy, and it works well for golf groups, couples and families who want good courses within reach and the sea on the doorstep.

There are 220 rooms and suites, which makes this the smaller and quieter of the two hotels. Rooms are modern and comfortable, with views over either the Gulf or the Marina skyline, and some come with a balcony or terrace. Club rooms add access to a private lounge for breakfast and evening drinks.

The golf is all a drive away on the mainland. Arabian Ranches Golf Club, Dubai Hills Golf Club and The Montgomerie Golf Club make up the three-round package, and The Els Club is added on the four-round option. Back at the hotel, guests have more than a dozen restaurants and bars across the two resorts, including Fish Beach Taverna and Barasti, plus a spa, a kids’ club and free entry to the waterpark. The Mina Seyahi tram stop is nearby for the Marina and JBR, and taxis cover the rest of the city.
