Family Dubai: A Practical Guide for Parents

Sea la Vie homes are built for families: separate bedrooms, a living room for calm evenings, and a kitchen for quick breakfasts and snacks. Pre-arrival, we run a checklist on appliances and prepare hotel-grade linens and towels; on request, we supply a baby cot, high chair, and extra pillows. A sample 48-hour plan: mornings on JBR beach or the Marina promenade (shade, showers, cafés); midday at an aquarium/museum/waterpark—or a cool siesta at home with Smart-TV; evenings for The Walk and dinner. Pro tips: lightweight long sleeves for sun, refillable bottles, a compact shade umbrella; metro travel cards cut costs. With little kids, stay within walking distance of the beach; teens enjoy Marina’s running track, pocket parks, and SUP rentals. House rules are simple: quiet after 10 PM, balconies under adult supervision, smoking only where allowed. We’ll share a hyper-local list of family restaurants, indoor playgrounds, and nearby pharmacies, plus where to buy diapers and baby food. Early flights? We can book a minivan and provide packing supplies. Family time in Dubai is a gentle rhythm—water in the morning, rest at noon, discoveries at night. We’ll take care of the base and the peace of mind.
