Dog-Friendly Staycations in the UAE

I love staycations. It’s the time when I can really relax after a busy work week. But it wouldn’t be relaxing for me if I couldn’t take my dog with me.

Luckily there are now more and more hotels and resorts that allow dogs which makes it a lot easier for me to get out of the house. And now there are also more dog-friendly staycations that offer special discounts with Treats Card.

Treats Card is the membership for pet owners that provides up to 50% discount at pet-related businesses like pet stores, groomers, boarding facilities, restaurants and hotels!

Hotel Indigo – Urban Staycation

Location: Business Bay

Never have I seen a hotel in Dubai like Hotel Indigo. The moment you arrive, you are welcomed by vibrant colours, culture, different designs and all with a very relaxing vibe.

This boutique hotel can be found at the doorstep of Dubai Downtown and has a lot of amazing details that make it very special, and now they offer a 20% discount to Treats Card members!

During my visit, I was told that every floor has been designed by a different local artist. The rooms have so many details, different kinds of furniture and art and it all works together in a great atmosphere. 

Not only are the rooms dog friendly, but your dog is also even allowed at the pool terrace. So while you enjoy yourself by the pool, your pooch is there with you by your side.

The hotel also has two dog-friendly F&B outlets.

Their Open Sesame restaurant has a contemporary menu and really is a space where you can relax and enjoy your food and drinks while listening to the sound of music and their amazing waterfall.

Later in the night, it’s time to go back to the pool terrace and enjoy some shisha, bites and drinks at the Orange Feels Bar.

Both F&B outlets also offer a 20% discount to Treats Card members.
