Hotels across the UAE are stepping up their game this summer, launching new offers and experiences to keep residents engaged during the hotter months. With fewer international tourists around, many properties are turning their focus to local staycationers, offering everything from early beach access to waterpark tickets and entertainment-filled evenings.
Here’s what some of the top hotels are doing right now.
Coral Beach Resort (Sharjah)
To help guests make the most of quieter summer mornings, Coral Beach Resort in Sharjah has adjusted beach opening hours so early risers can enjoy the sunrise by the sea. The property also offers daily aqua aerobics and periodic yoga sessions to add mindfulness and wellness to every stay.

Families can enjoy extra perks like cooking stations and gardens that feature peacocks and rabbits — part of the resort’s efforts to enhance guest experiences during school holidays.
Central Hotels & Resorts (Dubai)
Central Hotels & Resorts has focused on improving both technology and entertainment. Rooms across all properties have been upgraded, and a fully automated in-room guest experience system is being rolled out.
Coming soon: QR code access for menus and payments across all restaurants. And to keep the energy up, DJ sessions will be launched at every hotel as part of their high-season entertainment schedule.
Kempinski Hotels
Kempinski is offering members of the GHA Discovery loyalty programme a limited-time deal: from August 1 to September 30, 2025, all direct bookings will earn double Discovery Dollars (D$).
This promotion applies across more than 850 hotels and 45 brands globally, including dining, spa services, and other guest experiences — ideal for those planning indulgent weekend breaks.
Rixos Premium Dubai
Rixos Premium Dubai is giving guests an added reason to book. Anyone staying three nights or more will receive complimentary tickets to Aquaventure World, the world’s largest waterpark located at Atlantis Dubai — a perfect bonus for families looking for cool, outdoor thrills.
