A family trip to Dubai will definitely be more enjoyable in a serviced apartment. To be able to continue with your work or explore the city of Dubai comfortably, you’ll need a home base with cleaning and maintenance services to keep your home away from home clean and tidy. Recreational facilities offer an added bonus, appealing to both adults and children for entertainment and leisure.
There are many aparthotels in Dubai that offer luxurious serviced apartments with all the necessary amenities to give your family the feeling of being at home. These amenities will include everything from a fully-equipped kitchen to laundry facilities like a washing machine in your apartment. If you’re looking for a spacious yet private enough option, you can stay in a serviced apartment with interconnected rooms, giving the little ones their own private space yet keeping them close enough to keep an eye on.
A serviced apartment is a hassle-free way to live in a space that feels like a home without having to take out a lease on an apartment or a villa. Booking a long stay via the Thirty Sleeps platform means you get to enjoy the benefit of being able to extend your stay if your plans change - no fuss attached! This is not just ideal for digital nomads and remote workers; it gives families and leisure travellers the chance of a much better experience in Dubai when renting a serviced apartment.

Visiting Dubai at the onset of the cooler seasons? There is still plenty of outdoor entertainment for you and your family to enjoy. Dubai Miracle Garden opens when it starts to get a bit cooler, letting visitors into a blooming paradise. The 72,000 m2 garden has over 150 million flowers in bloom at any given moment when open to the public. Some have dubbed it the Disneyland of Dubai because of the joy it gives adults and children alike to walk in this picturesque flower garden.
