Deluxe room
Dubai Creek Harbour
A quieter kind of grandeur.
Twenty-four rooms on the water's edge, where the city's towers light up across the creek and the loudest thing at night is the fountain in the palm court.
The house
Twenty-four rooms and one long view of the water.
Auria is built around a palm courtyard on the east bank of Dubai Creek: limestone, carved screens and timber, with every room turned towards the water or the garden.
We kept it small on purpose. There is one restaurant that cooks over charcoal, a lounge that pours Arabic coffee all day, a gold-tiled hammam, and an abra that takes you across to the old town in twenty minutes. The airport is twelve.

Experiences
The hours become yours.
An abra at sunset, flamingos at Ras Al Khor, the dunes at first light. Our concierge arranges each one around your day, not the other way round.
On the water
Sunset by Abra
Our own wooden abra collects you from the hotel jetty an hour before sunset and crosses the creek to Al Seef and the old souks, with cardamom tea and fresh dates on board.
Culture
Old Dubai, Before the Heat
An early walk through Al Fahidi's lanes and wind towers, the textile souk as the shutters go up, and breakfast at a family café our guide has known for years.
Desert
Dunes at First Light
A 05:00 drive into the dunes past Al Marmoom, a quiet walk to the crest for sunrise, then breakfast in the sand under a canvas shade. Back by ten, before the day warms.
Guest words
What our guests tell us.
“We watched the towers light up from the bath and never once felt the need to go out. The quietest week we have had in years.”
“The flamingo trip was my children's highlight of the whole holiday. The team had binoculars ready in their sizes.”
“Twelve minutes from the airport, a desk that is actually a desk, and a hammam at nine in the evening. I have changed hotels for good.”
