Inside Dubai’s Hottest New Adults-Only Escape ‘voco Dubai Nice’

One of Dubai's most anticipated adults-only hotels is finally ready to welcome sun-seekers and party-lovers alike—and it's a complete island playground. voco Dubai Nice has officially opened on The World Islands, and yes, you can get there by speedboat in 15 minutes from the mainland. Bright, bold, and made for poolside days and sunset nights, it’s the kind of place where the Riviera meets the Gulf: whitewashed walls, terraces framed by swaying palms, and a lagoon-blue pool that practically begs for a sun-soaked selfie. Inside, 264 rooms and suites are all about chill meets playful. Soft tones, airy spaces, and little local touches (hello, date cookie on arrival) make it easy to settle in—or settle into vacation mode. From deluxe rooms to party-ready suites, the hotel lets you pick your vibe, whether it’s poolside lounging, sunset cocktails, or late-night island energy. The five dining and entertainment venues are as lively as they are gorgeous: a beachfront Mediterranean seafood spot, an all-day French restaurant on Raining Street, a lagoon pool bar, a bubbly bar, and a nightlife venue that hums past sunset. Days here are flexible. You can lounge by the pool before wandering the climate-controlled Raining Street, where European charm and Gulf sunshine collide. Afterwards, you can hop between bars, grab seafood, sip cocktails, and let the island energy take over. Come evening, seasonal entertainment lights up the pathways, lanterns swing above, and the night feels long and alive.
