Abu Dhabi – 5* Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa by Anantara – GBP865
See a different side of Abu Dhabi at this ultra-luxurious hotel, set right on the edge of the city’s lush mangroves. Opt for a water-view room, and you can gaze out over the greenery to a chorus of birdsong – the ultimate antithesis to the city centre, though it’s just a few miles away.
