Dubai Long Weekend 2026: Top Staycation Deals and Hotel Offers

The long weekend is almost here, and if you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally book that staycation, this is it. The UAE marks Prophet Mohammed’s Birthday (PBUH) with a public holiday running from Friday, August 28 to Sunday, August 30, giving residents a full three-day break. Here’s a roundup of some of the best hotel deals around town.

Rove Hotels is extending the long weekend even further with its 36-Hour Stay offer, letting guests check in as early as 9:00 AM and stay until 9:00 PM the following day — plenty of time to relax by the pool, explore the city, or grab a bite at The Daily, all for the price of a single night. The offer is valid until August 31 across all Rove Hotels in the UAE.

At voco Bonnington, the 36-hour staycation offers a similar setup: check in from 9am and check out at 9pm the next day, with breakfast included both mornings and kids staying and eating for free. The package is designed to flex around whatever the weekend calls for, whether that’s a lazy lie-in or an afternoon by the pool, and runs until September 6, 2026.

For something further from the city buzz, Habtoor Polo Resort’s Equestrian Getaway swaps skylines for polo fields, offering a deluxe room with breakfast for two, a possible room upgrade, early check-in, a guided stables tour, and discounts on dining, spa treatments, and Connect Pilates. Rates start from AED 499 per night plus Tourism Dirham, valid until September 30.

JA Resorts & Hotels is offering strong incentives for stays of two nights or more, including up to 20 percent off for GHA DISCOVERY members, complimentary breakfast, free stays and dining for kids under 12, 30 percent off restaurants, and 2-for-1 spa and leisure experiences. This offer runs through September 30, 2026.

25hours Hotel One Central, located near the Museum of the Future, is offering two staycation options. The Staycation Your Way package includes daily food and beverage credit along with flexible check-in and check-out, while the UAE Residents Offer includes breakfast, complimentary drinks, dining and spa discounts, and free stays for kids under 12. Both are valid until September 30, 2026.

Sofitel Dubai The Palm, set along a private beach on Palm Jumeirah with six pools, offers two tiers of staycation. The Luxury Resident Escape starts from AED 549 per night and includes breakfast, a room upgrade, and discounts on spa and dining, while the Signature Palm Suite Escape starts from AED 1,099 per night and adds butler service, welcome drinks, and Premier Lounge access. Both offers run until September 30, 2026.

Finally, Fairmont The Palm is offering two resort packages for the long weekend. The 100% Resort Credit Staycation, starting from AED 595 per night, returns whatever guests spend on the room as credit for dining, spa, and leisure activities, while the Half-Board Retreat, from AED 550 per night, includes dining access across the hotel’s restaurants along with discounts on dining and spa treatments. Both packages include early check-in, late check-out, and possible complimentary upgrades, subject to availability.
