A Fine Romance

I could try to make a face that I don't like Valentines Day just to blend in you know.

Its seems like a big thing to say the day is silly and too commercial and everyone should just stay at home to show how much they don't like this day. Well..I'm a complete sucker for romance and I hope that never changes. Why not have a day that you put extra thought into? I don't mean getting heart shaped teddy bears and dozens of roses is the main thing but a romantic dinner is something I do love. Dont get me wrong a lovely meal and cuddle at home is perfect but the effort of getting a bit dolled up for each other and going out on a date is pretty great as well.

And this years Valentines Day was pretty magical.

Husband said he booked us a dinner and I didn't ask too many questions. I knew it was a restaurant I had never been before and that already made me excited. We went to the Eau Zone and One & Only Royal Mirage hotel.

We took a stroll through the beautiful hotel grounds and arrived to the poolside beach restaurant that was all dimly lit and romantic..




After telling our name for reservation the girl at the welcome desk suddenly had a wide smile saying ..oohh you have the beach front table. So they walked us out of the restaurant and this is what was waiting..

3 private cabanas on the empty beach with views of beautiful Dubai skyline. I mean seriously.. It was perfect! Morgan really pulled out all the stops. And we are already married so its not like he has to impress me or anything..so happy he still does!


To our luck the other cabanas were only booked from 10:30pm and we arrived at 8pm so we had the whole place to ourselves. The food was fantastic as was the wine and we had such a lovely special dinner. Service was attentive but not overly (in Dubai its common to have 6 people come and ask how is the food in the span of 30min) so we could really enjoy our food and the surroundings.

The staff lit a small bonfire on the beach and after dinner we took our wine and sat by the fire for a bit. 

We ended the evening the some great Moroccan mint tea and shisha at the Arabian Courtyard of the same hotel.

It was such a calm, romantic and sweet evening and I could not be happier to be married to this awesome man of mine.

Hope you all had a great weekend surrounded by loved ones.
