Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai
Between its amazing full-scale waterpark, three kids clubs, daily activity programmes and huge family suites with the cutest bunk beds, Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai has set out to win family’s hearts, and it’s succeeding.
There are lots of reasons for your kids to fall head-over-heels for this brilliantly creative concept resort. As for us grown ups, well to be honest the minute we saw the location we were smitten.

Beachfront family holiday in Dubai
A beachfront resort at the heart of Dubai Islands
The hint’s in the name, but if you need more detail, it stretches along the beach right at the heart of Dubai Islands. So not only are you beachfront in one of the city’s prime locations, you’re within easy reach of everything from the dazzling Downtown to lively Dubai Marina. And if you want to stretch your horizons further, the desert is just over an hour away, which adds another layer of adventure to any family holiday in Dubai.
Although, Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai is like a world of its own so you might find it hard to tear yourself away, and no one would blame you for that.

Fun for all ages, Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai
Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai has kids’ clubs for all ages
You know a resort is taking fun seriously when it has three kids’ clubs. And these are no ordinary clubs, they’re carefully designed, come with an easy balance of learning and play, are all fully-supervised and leave parents without a shred of guilt at taking a few hours to themselves.
Camp Safari for ages 3 to 9, has its own dedicated space in the Sands Beach Club and a full daily activity programme which can include anything from scavenger hunts and children’s yoga to arts and crafts, games and even mini-karaoke. Open until 8pm, 7 days a week, it makes the evenings sparkle for young guests with nightly movies and kids’ discos.

E-Zone Kids Club, Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai
Playful kids’ clubs with something fresh every day
Giving older kids aged from 10 to 16 a little safe independence is what it’s all about at E-Zone which is packed with arcade games and PlayStations, as well as a movie corner for chill time, or hanging out with new friends: it’s easy to see why this is a big hit with teens.
Then there’s the latest addition to the kids’ club line-up, Sports Zone. Made for over-10s this is the club that couples the thrill of interactive sports games with skill building. Of course, the classic foosball table is in constant play, but it has strong competition from the likes of golf, basketball and football.
We don’t want to play favourites, but it’s tricky not to be won over by a space with an underwater-themed climbing wall, which is the least of the fun details at Mirage Family Lounge Playground. Created especially for families staying in Mirage Rooms and Suites or booking the Premium Meal Plan, the Lounge lets parents relax while kids burn off energy climbing, sliding or getting competitive with interactive games.

All-day activity programmes, Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai
All-day family activities included in your stay
It’s worth mentioning here that great daily activity programmes aren’t just for the lucky Camp Safari clubbers. The resort features an extensive family activity programme every day of the week, so you spend your together time playing beach volleyball, watching movies, trying out Aquarobics and yoga, or catching a live show in the evening.

Waterpark, Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai
The waterpark is beachfront and enormous at Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai
Upping the beach game completely, the resort’s waterpark sits right on the edge of the sand, so you get all the fun of lagoon pools, lazy rivers, slides and a splash area for younger kids, plus that great toes-in-the-sand feel that’s one of the best parts of a family holiday in Dubai.
The waterpark is huge, big enough to have its own cliff jumping platform, as well as palm trees and sun decks and wooden walkways leading down to the sea.
Then the beach itself extends the fun with a beautiful infinity pool, and an activity pool with a built-in obstacle course. If all that isn’t enough to keep you busy there are also beach games on the sand and a range of water sports which are the perfect excuse to get out on the calm, blue waters of the Arabian Gulf.
Naturally, this is all hungry work for kids, so you’ll be pleased to know there’s also a cute ice cream hut and a beach bar. Plus, you don’t have to think about packing too much, just head to the towel counter and you’re home and dry, literally.

Spa Cenvaree, family holiday in Dubai
Take some time to be a grown-up at Spa Cenvaree
Centara Mirage Beach Resort covers every base when it comes to entertaining families endlessly, but it’s just as impressive at winding you down and restoring your sense of well being.
A big part of that is down to the exquisite Spa Cenvaree: the perfect place to indulge while your children are off at the various kids’ clubs.
You can’t fail to notice the South East Asian influence here, particularly in treatments like the aromatic Tok Sen Massage or the range of Thai Massages. Although you might just want to lounge around at your own pace, in which case you can take advantage of Herbal Saunas and the hot and cold plunge pools.

Kids’ Candy Spa, Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai
Kids’ Candy Spa is every child’s fantasy
Naturally, this unique resort does things differently on the spa front too, by introducing pampering young at the Kids’ Candy Spa for under-10s. We probably don’t need to say much more than ‘edible treatments’ to convince you of what a child’s fantasy this is, from its playful atmosphere and sweet décor to the warm and friendly staff, cute-as-a-button robes and treatment rooms or mini-me manicures and pedicures.

Suan Bua Restaurant, Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai
Children’s menus at every restaurant is another great family-friendly idea
Making mealtimes fun is another area of expertise and the proof is in every single one of the resort’s restaurants, cafés and bars. All restaurants have carefully curated children’s menus, whether you’re eating at Sheesh – the rooftop Lebanese restaurant with astonishing sea views – or chilling over pizza and live music at Sands Beach Club. The resort’s Thai restaurant, Suan Bua, even has its own children’s buffet. And Uno Mas might served perfectly grilled Argentinian steaks and come with an extensive wine cellar, but it doesn’t forget that kids deserve delicious and tempting food too.

Family Room, Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai
Wait until your kids see the bunk beds at Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai
Finally, we think Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai might have achieved the impossible by managing to make bedtime fun for kids too. Don’t believe us? Take a look at the Mirage Family Suites with Bunk Beds we mentioned earlier, we’re not wrong.
But all the resort’s rooms and suites are bright and fresh with great views, big bathrooms and private balconies. Plus, if you’re travelling with teens and want to add a little independence into their family holiday in Dubai, the resort also offers a range of interconnecting rooms.
