Palace Beach Resort Fujairah

Rooms here face the Gulf of Oman, so you fall asleep to actual waves rather than a white-noise app. Palace Beach Resort Fujairah is a mid-size beachfront resort on the Fujairah coast, about an hour from Dubai, with a private beach, a pool, and a handful of restaurants keeping things self-contained. The interiors lean breezy and light-filled rather than grand, which suits the barefoot pace of the place better than marble columns would.
