Al Habtoor Polo Resort review: What I didn't do on my holiday
Summer staycations in the UAE are about making the most of the opportunity to switch off and relax when it is quiet.

My stay at Al Habtoor Polo Resort, nestled within the Al Habtoor Polo Club in Dubai, was a unique experience. The resort, which caters to equestrian enthusiasts year-round, saw a lesser crowd during my minimalist two-night solo visit. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a warm welcome and the sight of majestic horses, which were a prominent feature of the resort.
The hotel has around 150 rooms and villas, offering a serene retreat for those seeking to unwind and disconnect. My executive suite, on the second floor, was spacious, complete with a lounge, bathroom, bedroom, and a balcony overlooking one of the polo fields. The en-suite bathroom was equipped with a walk-in shower and separate bath, along with luxury toiletries, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing environment.
The hotel's main restaurant, Horse and Hound, offered a variety of European dishes, and the food was both appetizing and filling. The swimming pool with a swim-up bar provided a tranquil spot for relaxation. The resort also offered additional amenities such as a swing, outdoor playground, giant chess board, and padel courts for rent.
Despite the absence of a full board service, the stay was still enjoyable and satisfying, proving that the resort is a wonderful place to relax and read.
