Who a Royal Villa makes sense for
Villas sleep large families or two couples travelling together, so the cost per person is closer to a top suite than it looks. They suit a milestone birthday, a honeymoon with full privacy, or relatives flying in for a wedding. Booking.com lists pets as allowed on request, with possible charges; we confirm with the resort first.
Splitting a villa stay
A villa is a large one time cost, which is exactly where a payment plan helps. Pay over up to 12 months with Tabby, choose Tamara, or move the charge to a 3, 6, 9 or 12 month plan on a Mashreq, ADCB, RAKBANK, HSBC, FAB or Emirates NBD card. The five star Tourism Dirham, AED 20 per room per night, is built into our quote. More on how this works in our guide to paying for hotels monthly.
