Dubai: Will you pay Dh250,000 for a Valentine's Day date?
For Dh250,000, one couple will be treated to a two-night stay at a prime hotel filled with unparalleled luxury. The package includes a private in-suite dining experience with bespoke menu, a private beach cabana with a personal butler, and an intimate private yacht dinner under the stars, accompanied by a live harp performance. To complete the indulgent offering, the couple can unwind in a candle-lit, rose petal-infused bath designed just for them.
But the romance doesn't stop there. Their Valentine's journey begins in style as they arrive in a Rolls-Royce, where they will be greeted by a towering teddy bear made from more than 2,000 flowers.

For a breathtaking perspective of Dubai, they can also take a private helicopter ride for a romantic aerial view of the city. To top it all, they can have a one-of-a-kind keepsake: The handcrafted floral teddy bear created by Floward, which the hotel dubbed as 'the largest and most luxurious symbol of love ever created."
Rixos Premium Dubai, the hotel behind this lavish offering, emphasises the exclusivity of the Dh250,000 package, stating that it is available to only one couple.
'With exclusivity at its core, this once-in-a-lifetime experience is available to only one couple—because true romance is rare, and so is an opportunity like this,' the hotel said on Friday, adding the 'Valentine's package is complete with everything you could need for a stay filled with indulgence.'
Rixos Premium Dubai said the special Valentine's package is available for booking between February 12 and 16.
10-bedroom villa with garden
While this might seem like an unmatched display of romance, Dubai is no stranger to extravagant Valentine's Day experiences.
Last year, Banyan Tree Dubai offered a villa romance package priced at Dh250,000 per couple per night with inclusions such as intimate dinner aboard a private yacht, personalised spa sessions, and round-the-clock concierge services.
The offer was for a 10-bedroom villa with garden, temperature-controlled infinity pool, and private beach access. It also came with an oceanside dining under the stars experience, plus the usual pick-up and drop-off services.
A quick check by Khaleej Times with the hotel on Friday revealed it was not put on offer this year.
Dinner for Dh29,500
For couples seeking a unique dining experience this Valentine's day, here's something that will actually bring you under the sea: A dinner at an iconic underwater restaurant.
Priced at Dh29,500 per couple, Ossiano at Atlantis, The Palm is offering an exclusive diner with a set menu, free flow of Louis Roederer, an aquarium table, luxury brand gift, a large flower bouquet. The highlight? A diver will swim into the aquarium to deliver a personalised message to your loved one.
For those looking for a more affordable version of this experience, Ossiano also offers three additional packages priced at Dh18,500, Dh9,500 and Dh5,500 for platinum, gold and silver respectively. While these packages exclude the underwater message delivery, they still promise a romantic, high-end dining experience.

Review: Mr Chow brings a slice of London snobiety meets Dubai bling
One thing is for sure about Mr Chow – the legacy is inimitable. Born in 1968, the baby of artist, actor, and famed restaurateur Michael Chow, this famed Chinese spot opened doors on Valentine's Day, of all days, in London, and the rest is history. Now sitting on a cool eight locations, including this brand new one in Dubai, Mr Chow is serving up status and exquisite Beijing cuisine to diners in Beverly Hills, New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Riyadh and beyond, making regular appearances in the backgrounds of celebrity-gram. The story The ethos of Mr Chow comes from the communal nature of Chinese cuisine – every meal is a social event, with plates to be exchanged, flavours to be shared and the harmony of satiation. Dishes are served 'family style' to ensure all guests get a taste of everything, and the order is traditionally placed by a single person, typically the host. While Chinese cuisine is as vast and deep as the land and the culture where it stems from, here you'll find a very specific version of it – Beijing food, an art whipped up to please the elite, the Imperials and the aristocrats, for over three dynasties. The space The formula to a space that feels lavish is quite simple – high ceilings, low lighting, and Mr Chow gets that just right. While the floor itself is not massive, occupying a small corner of DIFC with stunning skyline views out of floor-to-ceiling windows, the whole restaurant is decked out in tonal shades, with dark walls, dark furniture, feather white table cloths and minimal white centrepieces. Everything is shiny and polished, from the reflective ceiling to the severe, starched white tuxedos of the servers, and it all feels intentional – a perfectly moody reimagination of the essence of Dubai's nightlife. The food On the menu, you'll find sharing-style dishes with a combination of old authentic Beijing recipes and Mr Chow's signature creations such as the chicken satay, Mr Chow noodles, and Ma Mignon. For our meal, we are started off with glazed prawn with walnuts (Dhs164), a sweet, nutty, earthy concoction of perfectly cooked prawns with the perfect bite, and the Mr Chow noodles (Dhs154), an original straight from 1968, with fresh, handmade noodles and a slick, oily sauce of chicken mince flaunting fire and flavour. We also sample the chicken satay (Dhs92 each) and crispy beef (Dhs253), both surprises. The satay comes with a sweet fried coating and a rich, creamy white sauce. The beef is also sweet, chewy and with a slight hint of citrus. The Beijing duck (Dhs516 per person) is the star of the meal. Craved tableside with all the pomp and show one might expect from a Mr Chow, it comes with soft wraps, sweet, spicy and umami duck sauce and slit cucumbers and greens for a bit of freshness. Roll everything up into a wrap and enjoy. The duck is juicy and tender, thankfully not dry as is the perennial problem with roasted birds and this is a classic you can't miss. We end with a mango parfait and a delicious mix of berries served in a bowl made entirely of ice – both are fruity, fresh, light and a fitting end to the luxuriant meal we've had so far. Verdict If not for anything else, go for the legacy.
