At Emirates Palace, families truly can have it all! With their children stowed safely in the care of our thrilling Summer Kids’ Programme, parents may relax and enjoy blissful time together.

Our youngest guests will be personally greeted by a Kids’ Ambassador and escorted to a personalised registration counter to receive a welcome gift bag. Special age-appropriate arrangements have been made in the kid’s rooms to the minibar, décor and in-room entertainment to make their stay more special.

The Palace by Day

From morning through night during the summertime, Emirates Palace Summer Kids’ Programme will entertain your children with fun activities that may include cooking classes, sports, art and dance classes, kids’ cinema, sand castle activities or spending an afternoon cooling off in our lazy river and whirling down our waterslides.
