With Eid Al Adha just around the corner, a new survey from Platinumlist reveals that over 70 per cent of UAE residents are opting for local getaways this year. Rather than traveling abroad, families and solo travelers are increasingly looking for affordable staycations within the country. Hotels have responded by moving beyond simple discounts, now bundling their packages with high-value perks such as waterpark passes, complimentary dining upgrades, and flexible check-in times to attract last-minute bookings.

From budget-friendly city breaks at Rove Hotels starting at Dh199 to action-packed family retreats at Centara Mirage Beach Resort, there are plenty of options to suit every preference. Those seeking luxury or unique experiences can take advantage of specialized deals, such as equestrian getaways at Al Habtoor Polo Resort or trackside stays at W Abu Dhabi. Whether you are looking for a relaxing beach escape in Ajman or an adrenaline-fueled weekend on Yas Island, these diverse offers ensure that residents can enjoy a memorable holiday without the hassle of long-distance travel.
