Located across the water from Dubai Marina, Bluewaters Island is split into different areas across residential, retail, leisure and entertainment, hotels and beach clubs. The record-breaking Ain Dubai observation wheel is the centrepiece of the lifestyle destination, which has more than 200 retail and dining concepts. If that all sounds like too much hard work, you can head to Cove Beach, and soak up the sun on the perfect sandy shore, with regular refreshments never far away. The island is well worth a visit for simply a walk along its coast – an ideal vantage point for serene seafront perspectives of the mainland.
