This is easygoing luxury, from the soaring foyer, with a striking net-sculpture (nodding to Ajman's fishing heritage) hung from the dome, to the rooms, all contemporary taupe tones and sea views. The big question each day is whether to loll beside the pool, with its shaded cabanas, or head out onto the wide stretch of white sand.
Whether you're staying here or not, don't miss dining on Turkish specialities at Kiyi or having a sundowner beachside at the Driftwood Bar.
