When to Visit Oahu?

The best months to visit.

Wondering when to visit Oahu? If you've narrowed down your selection of islands and Oahu is your destination, you've made an excellent choice! Oahu has excellent weather year-round; many believe it has the best weather on all the islands. Maybe that's why almost half of all visitors to the state of Hawaii pick Oahu. Or perhaps it's because Oahu is the most scenic of all the islands, or... well, that list could go on and on. Oahu is an excellent choice for visitors!

The  best time  to visit Oahu, considering the weather, demand for accommodations, and how crowded (or not) the island is - are the months of early April, May, September, and early October.  Some call these Oahu's 'off-season periods' or the 'shoulder months.'

There's more to cover before you make a final decision. This article will cover visitor arrivals, Oahu's weather and climate, accommodations, rates, and what to expect on a visit during each season on Kauai.

Oahu Estimated Visitor Arrivals (click to enlarge)

When to Stay on Oahu?

Every year, nearly 5 million visitors choose Oahu from other Hawaiian islands. Most visitors flock to the world-famous Waikiki area, where most accommodations are found. Almost half of all the rooms in Hawaii, including 90% + of all rooms on Oahu, are in Waikiki. Honolulu, the state's capital, hosts the island's central tourist hub, Waikiki. Oahu can find it all, from long-term vacation rentals to short-term budget-friendly hotels to the best hostels.

However, consider going beyond Waikiki & Honolulu for other beautiful accommodations. These areas include:

• Leeward Waianae (Including Makaha & Ko Olina)
• North Shore (Haleiwa to Turtle Bay)
• Windward East (Kaneohe / Kailua)
• South Oahu (including Kahala)

This article will review the various areas & regions featuring lodging on the island to help you find the best accommodations on Oahu.

Where to Stay on Oahu

Oahu Weather 

Weather & climate on oahu.

Oahu weather patterns are some of the most stable in the entire state. Unless you head  mauka  (inland), you're not likely to experience a lot of rain on the island, even on the wetter windward (eastern) side.

The wettest periods on Oahu are almost always in the wintertime when the tradewinds bring additional moisture to the islands. This period runs from mid-November through late March on average, and some of these systems can carry quite a bit of rain. This isn't to say Oahu isn't nice during the winter months; it is- but it's also going to mean the likelihood of wetter weather along portions of the island like the beautiful and lush East Coast. After all, it does take rain to create that beautiful verdant atmosphere.

That all said, this article takes a closer look at what the weather is like on Oahu, as this will help you decide where to stay during your vacation or trip. 

Oahu Weather

*Climate Notes: Weather and Climate numbers are aggregated from trusted weather sources providing the monthly temperature and precipitation figures for Oahu's primary airport in Honolulu. These climate summaries, specific to the airport location, should therefore not be taken as a "whole-island" forecast. Weather conditions can change dramatically on Oahu due to the diverse topography, changes in elevation, the trade winds, and other unique island conditions. Temperatures are provided in Fahrenheit and Precipitation in Inches.

Oahu Regions

Popular destinations on oahu.

Oahu, also known as ' The Gathering Place ,' is made up of two separate but overlapping volcanoes, known as a volcanic doublet. Its asymmetrical butterfly shape is formed by two mountain ranges: the Waianae Range in the west and the Ko'olau Range in the east. Slicing through the center is the flat Leilehua Plateau. Recent (geologically speaking) volcanic eruptions in the southeastern portion of the island which formed the  Diamond Head , Koko Head, and Punchbowl craters can be blamed for Oahu's uneven shape.

Not sure which area to visit? Wondering which part of the island would be the best fit for you? Then explore Oahu regions from afar here- learn about the many things to do, the sights, and the diverse attractions in each region of the island.

Waikiki & honolulu region.

Honolulu  is the capital of Hawaii and the most populous city in the state.  The name Honolulu means ‘sheltered bay’ in the Hawaiian language, and with its natural harbor, it has become a significant gateway into the United States, as well as a primary tourist attraction, a hub for international business and military defense. 

The city extends from  Pearl Harbor  in the west to  Makapu’u Point  on Oahu’s southeastern shore, encompassing the world-famous area of  Waikiki .  

Waikiki is best known for its famous white sand beach - it is an international destination and one of the most frequented locations in all of Hawaii.  Over the centuries, Waikiki has been an area where people come to both play and relax.

Windward Oahu Destinations

East (windward) oahu region, including waimanalo, kailua, kane'ohe, and ka'a'awa.

Oahu's East Shore, also known as  Windward Oahu , is located 30 minutes from Waikiki and Honolulu and is well worth touring by car as the coastal drive is scenic and varied.  The region is largely made up of quiet, coastal neighborhoods and towns nestled between stunning 3000ft mountain ranges and the sea.

Bordered by the Ko'olau Range, the East Shore extends from  Makapu'u Point  and Lighthouse on the southeastern point of the island, all the way to  Kahana Bay  which adjoins the area known as the  North Shore .

The windward East Oahu region is perfect for outdoor adventures such as swimming, hiking, kayaking, and snorkeling, with many beautiful beaches such as stunning  Lanikai Beach ,  Waimanalo Beach Park , and  Kalama Beach .

East Windward Oahu Region

North shore destinations, north shore oahu region, including la'ie, kahuku, waimea, and hale'iwa.

The North Shore of Oahu encompasses the 17-mile north-facing coastal area between Ka’ena Point in the west and eastward to Kahuku Point. Famous for its surfing, snorkeling, and of course the fifty-one beaches that stretch for more than 11 miles along this incredible expanse of Oahu coastline.

Gigantic 30-foot waves are prevalent in the winter months but calm down in the summer to allow for glorious diving and snorkeling conditions. The crowds certainly gather in the area's top beaches like  Sunset Beach  (one of the longest surf ride locations in the world),  Banzai Pipeline (Ehukai Beach)  and  Waimea Beach  (one of the original surfing beaches in the 50’s) to soak in the rays and watch daring surfers.

Central & Leeward Oahu Destinations

Central oahu region, including wahiawa, mililani, pearl city, and pearl harbor.

The Central Oahu region encompasses the fertile valley in the heart of Oahu, between the Ko'olau Range on the east side of the island and the Waianae Mountains on the west side. 

This area is not as interesting as Honolulu, Waikiki, Windward East, or the North Shore, as it consists largely of residential areas and pineapple plantations. 

However there are definitely some sights to see and certainly, the most significant landmark in the area is historic  Pearl Harbor  in the south, near  Pearl City .

Waianae (Leeward) Oahu Region

Including 'ewa, kapolei, ko olina, ma'ili, wai'anae, and makaha.

The  Waianae  – often termed  Leeward  -  Coast  of Oahu is largely undiscovered by the majority of visitors to the island and is home to rural towns and one luxury resort area ( Ko’olina ).  The area north of Ko'olina is not well known and some parts of it are quite remote. 

This region is located on the coastal side of the Waianae mountain range and extends from Ko’olina in the south-west corner of Oahu, to the town of  Waianae  in the central coastal area and all the way north to Kaena Point on the north-west tip of the island. 

The Waianae region is everything that Waikiki is not – untamed and largely unknown.

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve

#1 Rated in Sights to See on Oahu

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve is a gorgeous wineglass-shaped bay situated on the southeastern side of Oahu near Hawaii Kai, tucked into the sheltered side of Koko Head. 

Merely a 30-minute drive from Honolulu (traffic permitting), this stunning bay feels like a world away from the bustle of the city, which cannot even be seen from the beach as the large bay is surrounded by the lush green, gently fluted hills of Koko Head.

The bay is secluded and tranquil in the early morning, but during the day becomes a very popular place for locals and visitors.  Thousands of people flock to the bay each day to experience the excellent snorkeling in the area.

Pearl Harbor

#2 rated in sights to see on oahu.

Pearl Harbor is a lagoon harbor situated about 10 miles west of Honolulu.  It is the site of the infamous air assault by Japan in 1941, which heralded the beginning of the United States’ involvement in World War II. 

Pearl Harbor is a solemn reminder of a tragic day.  It is one of the most significant sites in the history of the United States and a National Historic Landmark. 

The area consists of a number of museums and memorials that honor those who served in World War II.

Pearl Harbor on Oahu

#3 Rated in Sights to See on Oahu

Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii and the most populous city in the state.  The city extends from  Pearl Harbor  in the west to  Makapu’u Point  on Oahu’s southeastern shore, encompassing the world-famous area of  Waikiki .  Today Honolulu is home to over 390,000 people and has been the capital since 1845, when King Kamehameha III officially moved the capital from Maui to Oahu.

The city is a multicultural epicenter with many historical landmarks and an array of global culinary choices, as well as a buzzing cosmopolitan city with world-class shopping and a lively arts, cultural and entertainment scene.  Honolulu has it all – from the art galleries and international cuisine of the  Chinatown  district to the fine dining, live music and nightlife of Waikiki.

Lanikai Beach

#1 Rated Beach on Oahu

This little treasure has plenty of soft sand and seclusion for a morning of peaceful sun-worshipping or swimming. This beach used to be about a mile long but development has caused erosion, making it about a half-mile. But a great half mile!

The two islands located offshore are called the Na Mokulua (or simply "The Mokes"), and the southern island is a bird sanctuary. Thanks to the stunning backdrop it provides, professional photographers frequent Lanikai, often for photoshoots with well-known models and personalities. The wind is also good here for sailing and windsurfing. There is even some good snorkeling to be had.

Diamond Head (Leahi) Monument & Trail

#1 rated hiking trail & #6 rated sights on oahu.

Diamond Head State Monument, also known as Le'ahi, is located just east of  Waikiki , on the island of Oahu, and is the most recognized landmark in Hawaii. Le’ahi is a place that offers respite from the busy highways of Honolulu. The drive around Diamond Head is quite picturesque, as it winds around the crater by the ocean. Once you enter through the tunnel that bores into the side of the crater, it feels like a world away from the city.

The trail to the summit of Diamond Head (Hawaiian name Le’ahi), near Waikiki, was built in 1908 as part of the U.S. Army Coastal Artillery defense system. From the trailhead to the summit of Diamond Head Crater, it is 0.8miles (1.3km) one way, and it is a 560 foot (171m) climb from the crater floor. 

At the top, there are extensive 360-degree views of Waikiki, Honolulu, and the surrounding area.  From here you can clearly view the bunkers situated along the crater rim that was built in 1915.  There are also sweeping views of the southeastern Oahu coastline towards Koko Head and the offshore islands of Moloka’i, Lana’i, and Maui.  The elevation at the summit is 761 feet (232m).

Diamond Head (Leahi) Hiking Trail

Waimea Valley & Falls

#4 rated in sights to see on oahu.

The beautiful Waimea Valley on North Shore, Oahu, attracts a couple thousand visitors per day however you wouldn’t know it, as its stunning botanical garden setting provides many spacious areas to relax under huge shady trees. 

It’s easy to find a quiet spot to rest on the grassy areas and unwind from the busy highways of Honolulu.  Most visitors flock to  Waimea Falls , a 45-foot waterfall, located on the property, to swim and sunbathe.

 As well as being a popular tourist attraction, many folks also utilize the beautiful grounds for concerts, parties, weddings, special events, and even a weekly farmers market.

Oahu's Waimea Valley

Nuuanu Pali Lookout

#5 Rated in Sights to See on Oahu

The Nu'uanu Pali Lookout is one of the most stunning views of Oahu's Ko'olau Mountain Range. Located just a short 5-mile drive from downtown Honolulu, this lookout offers some of the best views on Oahu. From here you can spot Kailua town as well as Kaneohe Bay and, of course, the breathtaking Ko'olau Mountains.

In 1795, Kamehameha the Great's troops drove Oahu's men up the hills only to force them off these cliffs and to their deaths. Following that battle, Kamehameha was able to finish his quest and unite the islands.

Waikiki Beach

#3 Rated Beach on Oahu

Provided Waikiki Beach is one of the most famous beaches in the world, what list would be complete without a mention of it? Crowded, you bet - but still one of the iconic attractions in all of Hawaii. The two mile stretch of white sand coast is fronted by hotels and tourist facilities.

The area is excellent for swimming, surfing, boogie boarding, catamaran and outrigger canoe rides. It's likely that if you are staying in Honolulu, you'll be staying near Waikiki.

Even if you are not into crowds (and again, there will be A LOT of tourists here) it's worth a visit just to say you walked on Waikiki Beach.

Mokoli'i Island at Kualoa Point

#7 rated in sights to see on oahu.

This little cone-shaped lump of lava off Kualoa Point is officially called Mokoli'i Island.

In the past, this little chunk of land was part of Oahu, but through years of erosion, it has separated. You can still reach it though. It is possible to walk there from Kualoa Regional Park during low tide. You can also surf or kayak there.

The island supports an interesting array of sea life and a small beach in a secluded cove.

Mokoli'i Island

Valley of the Temples

#8 Rated in Sights to See on Oahu

The Valley of the Temples Memorial Park is situated on the windward side of Oahu, in an area called Ahuimanu.  It is a favorite gathering place for people of all faiths to enjoy some peace and tranquility. 

Its gardens honor many faiths including Christianity and Buddhism.  There is also a Japanese WWII cemetery on the grounds.

The Valley of the Temples is well worth a visit, especially if you are seeking some tranquility - away from the bustle of the Honolulu city traffic.

Kailua Beach Park

#2 Rated Beach on Oahu

This 2.5 mile stretch of gorgeous sand is one of Oahu's most beautiful beaches. It boasts excellent swimming and windsurfing as well as kayaking.

It has a very nice, fine sandy beach for strolling and general lounging about. This is a world-class windsurfing destination and there are several shops in Kailua that offer rental gear and can arrange for lessons. Kailua rarely experiences the high surf of the North Shore.

Koko Crater Railway Trail

#2 rated hiking trail on oahu.

The Koko Head Hike railway “stairs” is a short drive from Diamond Head and Waikiki. It puts you through your paces and can be a challenge even for the fittest of the fit. However, if you’re up to the challenge it is worth the effort to reach the Koko Head Crater summit.

Although it is a short hike of 1.4 miles, it is grueling with an extreme incline that will have you doubting you can ever reach the top. A relic of World War II, the military constructed Koko Head Railway to transport supplies and soldiers. The site has had many functions until it was finally passed onto the City of Honolulu and became Koko Head Regional Park in 1966.

The trail heads up 990ft at a very steep incline, and the views at the Koko Head Crater summit are 1208ft above sea level. There are 1,048 railroad ties to climb and then 30 feet to the lookout.

Koko Crater Railway Trail​

Waimanalo Beach

#4 rated beach on oahu.

This stunning slice of sand is located about a 45-minute drive from world-famous Waikiki Beach but is a world away in terms of hustle and bustle. But in terms of beauty, it just may be one of the most beautiful you'll see on Oahu. 

This beach is ideal for swimming, bodysurfing, and boogie boarding. If you'd rather stay on land, Waimanalo Beach is the perfect place for a stroll... a very long stroll! At about 3 miles long, Waimanalo features Oahu's longest uninterrupted white-sand beach. A large portion the beach is shaded by ironwood trees, which makes for some welcome respite from the sun.

It can get crowded on the weekends, but is definitely worth a visit if you can squeeze it in.

Waimanalo Beach Park

Makapuu Point & Lighthouse Trail

East 'windward' oahu region, #3 rated hiking trail on oahu.

If you are seeking a great view of Oahu’s southeastern shoreline - with tall sea cliffs and an azure blue ocean - Makapu’u Point is the location for a panoramic view of the coast. 

Situated on Kalanianaole Highway on the southeastern tip of the island, Makapu’u is on the right side of the highway about 12 miles east of Honolulu, past Koko Head, Hanauma Bay, and Sandy Beach Park.  Makapu’u is a remnant of a volcanic ridge that rises over 600 feet from the ocean.  It is the easternmost point on the island of Oahu.

From the lookout, panoramic views of Manana Island and Black Rock Island can be seen as well as the expansive blue ocean.  On clear days you can see the entire eastern shore of the island and sometimes you may be able to spot the islands of Molokai and Lanai.  This is an ideal place to whale watch in the season.  Look for old WW11 bunkers on the cliff edges – some of the many relics from the war that still exist on Oahu.

• Makapu’u Point

Sunset Beach

#5 Rated Beach on Oahu

Sunset Beach is the ideal North Shore paradise with two miles of white sand stretching 200-300 feet wide. Whether you're here to catch one of its famous waves or simply want to watch the sunset over the water, Sunset Beach is an Oahu must-see. 

During the summer months, the ocean is relatively calm, making Sunset ideal for swimming and snorkeling or just relaxing on the beach. You can also peer into a few tide pools to observe some of the wonders of nature. Practice good ocean safety and be careful with the Sunset Rip, a notorious rip current offshore. Also, keep a watch out for stinging limu (seaweed) in the summer and early fall months.

During the winter months, Sunset beach is a haven for professional surfers, and waves can reach heights of twenty-five feet. Best leave it to the pros during the winter, but it makes for some good opportunities to observe pro surfing from the shore.

Oahu Itinerary Suggestions

Honolulu, waikiki, and more itineraries.

In Hawaii, Oahu is the third-largest island. It has been dubbed the "gathering place" as it is one of the most inhabited islands and tourists commonly visit it. Oahu has so much to offer to all its visitors. This island's unique blend of various cultures and cuisines makes it an exceptional place to vacation.

Ultimately, we've designed our itineraries around a set number of on-island days: offering  one ,  two ,  three ,  four ,  five ,  six , and  seven-day  itineraries for exploring the island, soaking in the best sights, and ensuring your precious time (and/or money) on is used wisely. We've tried to balance our itineraries between those who seek adventure and those looking to find a good beach and relax. Overall, we want your experience to be exactly what you've dreamed of when planning your Oahu trip.

For each island, including Oahu, we've attempted to split up the itinerary days by sorting attractions according to their geographic proximity; i.e., on Windward East Oahu day, you'd explore the best of east Oahu's attractions, beaches, hiking trails, and activities. Our itineraries are not meant to be followed consecutively necessarily, which would probably be exhausting, but instead as a grab-and-go resource for 'mapping' your trip - think of us as a Wayfinder's guide to Oahu .

For nearly 20 years now, we've been visiting the islands and making detailed notes about what the various highlights are and what visitors like yourself simply must-see based on the limited time you've allocated for each Hawaiian Island.

It isn't easy and can even be overwhelming to start planning a trip to Hawaii. One quick look on our website, and you'll soon discover there are hundreds of possibilities; a variety of sights to see, a plethora of beautiful beaches to choose from, and a diverse set of incredible trails that criss-cross each of the islands. Honestly, you could spend months on the island and not see and do it all. Having a reliable guide, that's key. We'd genuinely love to be your guide to the island of Oahu during your stay, and we hope you find our itineraries resourceful while planning your trip.

Few structures are pure examples of a particular style; rather, they are interpretations of those styles depending on local resources, materials and craftspeople. Often, clues to a particular style can be found by literally Looking Up. Rooflines, window styles, turrets and embellishments are often telling features of a particular style. This self-guided walking tour takes about one hour to complete. Click the link  to learn more.

8 Affordable US Trip Ideas So You Can Finally Plan That 2024 Getaway

Posted: November 9, 2023 | Last updated: November 9, 2023

If you have been aching to get away , now is the time to start planning your 2024 vacation. While international travel may still cost an arm and a leg, flights within the U.S. are pretty affordable. If you plan now, you may be able to sneak away for a long weekend for less than ever.

I'm a Luxury Travel Agent: 10 Destinations My Wealthy Clients Are Booking for 2024 Find Out: How To Get Cash Back on Your Everyday Purchases

At GOBankingRates, we asked travel experts from around the country where the best and most cost-efficient destinations will be next year. Here are 8 affordable trip ideas so you can finally plan that 2024 getaway.

Miami or Sarasota, Florida

Molly Egan, a travel and hospitality expert and founder of themollyegan , recommended Florida as an inexpensive destination.

She stated, "For a beach getaway in Florida, such as Miami or Sarasota, plan a visit in October or early May to avoid peak times. You will avoid the snowbird crowds, spring breakers and heat, and best of all, snag a great lodging and flight deal!"

Bozeman, Montana

Egan noted that for western adventures, she would suggest, "Bozeman, Montana, in June and October, which are slow times for the city, so that you can snag an affordable deal! The same timing goes for Western Colorado towns such as Vail, Colorado."

She continued, "The beginning of October is a great time to see the leaves changing, go hiking, feel like you have the whole mountain town to yourself and find the best lodging deals. If you are interested in skiing, the best time is late November or early December and early to mid-April (the skiing conditions vary, but the deals are the best)."

Savannah, Georgia

Tracy Kennedy, an experienced travel advisor at Tasmania , noted, "If you're eyeing an affordable yet enriching U.S. trip for 2024, Savannah, Georgia, should be high on your list. The city is a perfect blend of traditional Southern charm and modern allure, and it's an ideal destination for a 2-3 day weekend getaway. Flights to Savannah are usually economical, with multiple carriers offering competitive rates."

She added, "Once there, you can enjoy quintessential forms of tourism such as exploring the historic district, strolling through Forsyth Park, and taking a riverboat cruise. The culinary scene is exceptional but won't break the bank, offering classic Southern dishes that are rich in flavor but easy on the wallet."

She also stated, "However, what sets Savannah apart is its unique offerings like the Sorrel Weed House Museum. This historic haunted house provides an unforgettable experience, especially if you're planning a trip around Halloween. Not only does it offer a glimpse into 19th-century life in the South, but it also has its share of ghost stories and paranormal activities, adding a thrilling element to your visit."

Asheville, North Carolina

Adrian Todd, an outdoor and travel expert, hiking coach and owner of Great Minds Think Hike , said, "One of my favorite places to go to is Asheville. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville is a great destination with various things to do."

He continued, "Asheville has some of the most breweries in and around than most places East of the Mississippi. You can hike in the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park, visit the Biltmore Estate, or explore the artsy downtown area."

Santa Fe, New Mexico

"Santa Fe is a really neat place," Todd also noted. He explained it is "full of neat adobe style houses and architecture. I recommend going to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, but to make sure to book way ahead in advance."

He also suggested, "Check out the oldest house and church in the US near the downtown area. Be sure to visit the Loretto Chapel to see the mysterious staircase and head to the downtown area during the market when all the natives come by to sell handcrafted items."

Vacation Season: 10 Essentials You Should Buy at Dollar Tree for Your Next Trip

Stanley, Idaho

For fishing and outdoor activities, Todd recommended Stanley, Idaho. He said it is "a small town located to the East in Idaho. It is a beautiful mountain time hugged by the Sawtooth Mountains. I highly recommend checking this place out during the summer months when it is a lot warmer."

He continued, "Go fishing along the Salmon River, hiking to Sawtooth Lake, and camping near Redfish Lake. There is so much to do for all outdoor lovers in this destination."

Nashville, Tennessee

"Nashville is historically known for its live music scene and offers a vibrant atmosphere and many free or affordable activities," stated Todd. "You can explore the city's music history, visit the Country Music Hall of Fame, and enjoy live music in honky-tonks," he said.

The hiking enthusiast added, "There are also a lot of things to do out in nature in Tennessee if the city life isn't your cup of tea. Check out the Great Smoky Mountains to visit the most popular and visited national park in the US."

Loveland, Ohio

"Loveland, Ohio, is known as the 'Sweetheart of Ohio,'" explained Krista Rose, marketing and communications coordinator for the City of Loveland. "We are the perfect destination for a Midwest trip on a budget! We are often told Loveland feels like a 'resort town' and 'time slows down here.'"

She continued, "Loveland is located about 15 miles north of Cincinnati and close to major highways including I-75 and I-71. We are known for our river and trails, making us a favorite trip for outdoor enthusiasts."

For outdoor adventure seekers she recommended, "the Little Miami Scenic Trail is an 80-mile bike/pedestrian trail across Ohio. This trail runs through the center of Loveland. Visit for a day of canoeing, kayaking, and outdoor adventure! After you explore the trail, explore Historic Downtown Loveland's unique shopping and dining. There are quaint AirBNBs and a boutique hotel in town."

You can learn more about the city by visiting LovinLifeLoveland .

This hideaway dubai boutique hotel offers courtyards, private happy hours and tranquility.

Relax in the courtyard.

Nestled in Dubai ’s almost 100-acre Madinat Jumeirah, an area reminiscent of a small Arabian village, Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf offers a serene haven amid its more imposing sister resorts, including Jumeirah Mina A’Salam , Jumeirah Al Naseem and Jumeirah Al Qasr .

As it marks its 20th anniversary, Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf stands out for its intimate setting, which includes recently renovated summerhouses and villas.In each summerhouse — aptly named Dar Al Masyaf means “summer house” and was inspired by the traditional Arabian structures — eight to 10 guest rooms and a one-bedroom suite encircle a spacious, tranquil central courtyard. This vibrant Moroccan-style space captivates with colorful tiles, vivid bursts of terra cotta, the trickling sounds of a water feature and pops of greenery. The inviting, secluded courtyard coaxes you to unwind with sofas, daybeds and chairs.

Enjoy drinks and conversation in the majlis.

The 29 two-story summerhouses all have a majlis , or sitting room, on their ground floor. In the United Arab Emirates and elsewhere in the Middle East, a majlis is a cultural cornerstone where community and conversation take center stage. Here, the guests of each summerhouse can gather at the nightly sunset happy hour to chat over complimentary wine, cocktails or soft drinks and snacks (bowls of potato chips and mixed nuts were on offer during our visit). Sit in the U-shaped banquettes lining the airy room or retreat to the expansive courtyard just outside.

The accommodations have been refreshed with a timeless palette of white and cream and touches of powder blue and navy while preserving distinctive architectural elements that evoke a sense of place: scalloped doorways, arabesque patterns and stately wood doors. Make time for a soak in the bathrooms’ enticing freestanding tubs.

WWE WrestleMania 40 Results, Winners And Grades From Night 1

Wwe wrestlemania 40 results and everything that happened as the rock pins cody, winning 1 3 billion powerball ticket sold 4th largest ever here s how much the winner could take home.

The guest rooms feel light and airy.

Though the summerhouses focus inward on the courtyard and majlis, Dubai’s longest private beach (it measures more than a mile) is mere steps away, and many rooms have balconies with views of the gulf, gardens or the navigable waterways that cut through the property.

The most exclusive accommodations at Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf are the Malakiya Villas. After a year-long revitalization, the collection of seven villas is available for those who need a getaway with discretion and privacy (it’s a favorite among celebrities). After a chauffeur picks you up at the airport (villa guests receive this perk along with an airport drop-off) and brings you to the property, you will board an electric abra , a traditional Emirati wooden boat, for a quick but scenic ride to your villa for a private check-in.

Enjoy contemporary luxury.

Designed by Dubai-based Sahar Alyaseer of La Bottega, the contemporary-styled villas have a light and soothing ambiance with neutral tones and accents of subdued shades of sage and blue. The villas feel like luxurious homes, with two or three bedrooms, a private plunge pool, a sprawling terrace and a kitchen. You’ll also get thoughtful in-room comforts: At the end of the day, sip complimentary sundowners from the curved sofa in your villa.

Whether you stay in the villas or the summerhouses, you will receive stellar amenities. A butler is at the ready 24 hours a day via WhatsApp to help with everything from ensuring your Arabian coffee is fresh and to your liking to quickly booking your dining experiences at one of the more than 50 onsite restaurants or your spa appointment at the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Talise Spa Madinat Jumeirah . The attentive butler might add numerous surprise treats, which provide delightful touches to your stay.

Indulge in a bath.

In addition, you get complimentary access to Wild Wadi Waterpark (a hit with kids) and Madinat Jumeirah’s private pools, including the adults-only Celeste infinity pool, which sits on the sand with stunning ocean views.

Perched at the edge of the property, your stay at this hideaway boutique hotel provides a picturesque and tranquil contrast to the bustling energy of Dubai.
