Dubai: The Ideal Winter Yachting Destination

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

The emirate is fast becoming a popular sailing destination among those looking to soak up some winter sun.

Dubai has become a magnet for global yacht tourism, particularly during the winter season from October to April.

Winter is the best time to visit Dubai, when the weather’s just right for lazy days on the beach and outdoor fun. From October to April, the warm temperatures and calm waters in the region make yachting a breeze, promising a smooth and enjoyable journey. Dubai is rapidly emerging as a top winter yachting destination for enthusiasts who would typically favor the Caribbean or South America. They can now explore the Gulf region safely from one of the world’s most glamorous cities.

“Dubai’s strategic location, world-class infrastructure, advanced facilities, luxury marinas, award-winning tourism offerings, rich maritime history and picturesque coastline, combined with its popular winter-sun season, have positioned the city as an attractive destination for yacht owners,” says Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing, part of Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism.

Vibrant Events Calendar

Dubai’s jam-packed calendar of events is another major draw for visitors. The city hosts a wide range of business, leisure and MICE events all year round, but winter is when it truly comes alive with a multitude of action-packed activities, from golf and rugby tournaments to tennis championships and horse racing .

Dubai plays host to many international events, including the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix, part of the SailSP competition series.

The Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix , part of the SailGP competition series, will take place on November 23 and 24, showcasing a fleet of high-performance F50 foiling catamarans battling it out on the iconic Mina Rashid. Meanwhile, the annual Gulf Superyacht Summit , taking place this December, and the Dubai International Boat Show , scheduled for February 2025, both highlight Dubai’s burgeoning yachting industry. These events showcase the latest in yacht design and technology, attracting enthusiasts, manufacturers and experts from around the world.

Other significant events like the annual Dubai Watch Week , Dubai Fashion Week and Art Dubai have further elevated Dubai’s position as a global city with a vibrant creative and cultural spirit. Those looking to ring in the new year on a grand scale will not be disappointed. New Year’s celebrations in Dubai are truly epic. Party it up at the trendiest beach clubs, enjoy star-studded performances by international artists or catch the iconic fireworks at Burj Khalifa and various locations along the coast.

Dining And Wellness

Beyond offering state-of-the-art maintenance and repair facilities, Dubai’s luxury marinas boast stunning waterfront dining options and wellness amenities for the well-heeled crowd. These offerings complement Dubai’s multifaceted appeal among yachting enthusiasts seeking a holistic maritime experience.

Kazim says, “We see strong potential for the ‘cruise in, dock and dine’ concept, which allows yacht owners to dock their vessels and enjoy some of Dubai’s world-class waterfront dining options. Another emerging trend is the integration of luxury wellness amenities within Dubai’s marinas, with many featuring health and wellness centers, while owners are also taking advantage of the opportunity to experience world-class sporting, entertainment and business events in the city.”

There is a variety of dock and dine options dotted along Dubai’s dazzling coastline that yacht owners and their guests can choose from, including venues set against spectacular backdrops of the city skyline and the Arabian Gulf.

For instance, the Bulgari Marina at Bulgari Resort Dubai offers exclusive dock and dine services, including free berthing for four hours for guests. Pick from the one-Michelin-star omakase restaurant Hōseki or the two-Michelin-star Il Ristorante – Niko Romito for perfectly executed Italian cuisine.

At The Club , located at Palm West Beach, yachts can dock at the beach and visitors can directly disembark there to enjoy the waterfront dining experience at one of its signature restaurants and beach clubs.

Those looking for a relaxing time can unwind at the ultra-luxe Guerlain Spa, located within The One&Only The Palm , with its very own private marina for visitors. Indulge in a pampering massage or a traditional hammam ritual designed to restore, renew and revitalize.

Luxury Stays And Entertainment

Luxury hotels and resorts in Dubai offer yachting tourists top-tier accommodations. Strategically located near marinas, these properties offer breathtaking ocean views and convenient access to the waterfront. Many also feature specialized yacht concierge services, including help with bookings, provisioning, and arranging both sea and land activities to enhance guests’ extended itineraries.

Dubai boasts world-class attractions, such as the Museum of the Future, one of the city's most famous landmarks.

For some heritage and culture, visit the Al Shindagha Museum , located along Dubai Creek. Sign up for curated tours to gain an insight into Dubai’s past and traditions. The Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Centre for Cultural Understanding gives visitors the opportunity to learn about the culture and customs of Dubai and the Emirati people while the Museum of the Future , one of the city’s most famous landmarks, explores next-generation science, technology and innovation.

Looking for sun-kissed days on the beach? Jumeirah 1 , a revitalized destination, features three beach clubs and 10 beachfront restaurants, making it the perfect all-day R&R spot. Alternatively, fit in the ultimate shopping experience at Dubai Mall, where the Elite Personal Shopping Suite opens a world of bespoke luxury tailored for the discerning clientele.

Seamless Entry And Connectivity

As a premier yachting destination, Dubai offers limitless opportunities for visitors looking to explore the U.A.E.’s stunning coastline and neighboring spots in the region. Visitors on foreign-flagged yachts can expect a seamless arrival experience, capitalizing on Dubai’s modern and advanced facilities. Foreign vessels are allowed to stay in Dubai waters for up to six months.

“Strong international air connectivity through both commercial and private aviation makes Dubai ideal for owners looking to arrive or depart separately to their yachts,” says Kazim. “Dubai’s reputation for safety further enhances its appeal to yacht owners and businesses, along with initiatives like the Golden Visa for investors, which align with the objective to make Dubai the best city to visit, live and work in.”

With plans underway to further expand its yachting infrastructure and offerings, Dubai is set to strengthen its position as the preferred winter yachting destination and gateway to the Gulf region.

Echoing the elegant design of the original Bvlgari Hotel Milano, Il Ristorante – Niko Romito at Bvlgari Resort Dubai celebrates the rich heritage of Italy. Every element of the restaurant’s ambiance has been hand-picked to ensure a seamless dining experience. Raised banquettes offer a better view of the Arabian Gulf, as a dramatic black ceiling gives the impression of dining at night under the sky. Bvlgari Hotels and Resorts’ own Michelin starred Italian chef, Niko Romito, has curated a blend of modern and classical Italian concept exclusively for Il Ristorante, interpreting the exquisite flavours of Italy with modern simplicity. Working from his three starred restaurant in Italy and regularly counseling his personally trained chef, resident in the hotel he brings to Il Ristorante – Niko Romito a menu that expresses the Italian culture at its best.

Il Ristorante – Niko Romito was awarded two Michelin stars by The Michelin Guide Dubai for 3 consecutive years since 2022.

Chef Niko Romito

The visionary behind the signature Italian concept of Il Ristorante - Niko Romito in Dubai, Beijing, Shanghai, Milan, Paris, Tokyo and Rome, Chef Niko Romito brings extraordinary talent and artistry to the world of Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts. A native of central Italy’s Abruzzo region, he has remained true to his roots while reimagining the flavours of Italy with a daring and simplicity that rewrites the rules of classic cuisine. Before his collaboration with Bvlgari Hotels, his restaurant Reale garnered three Michelin stars for its striking contemporary Italian dishes.

Chef Niko is known for his precision and mastery of Italian gastronomy, and his bold concept—developed exclusively for Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts—establishes a new canon of Italian cooking, focusing on the essential ingredients and character that express the culture, elegance and vibrancy of the Made in Italy designation.

The Chef developed the menus and personally trained each of the chefs that helm Il Ristorante-Niko Romito restaurants around the world. He continues to act as a counselor and consultant, overseeing the integrity of the kitchen in every destination.

GIACOMO AMICUCCI, RESIDENT CHEF

Born in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, Chef Giacomo Amicucci studied at the ALMA International School of High Cuisine, and, upon leaving, put his background to use in some of the finest starred Italian kitchens, working alongside some of the country’s most talented teams. In 2012, Chef Amicucci relocated to Australia — a move that expanded his range and gave him fresh insights into the role of Italian cuisine at an international level. This newfound perspective caught the eye of Chef Niko Romito, who invited Chef Amicucci to join him at his three-starred flagship restaurant Reale. In 2017, he brought his talents to Bvlgari Hotel Dubai, where he has presided over Il Ristorante - Niko Romito since its opening.
