The jaw-dropping progress that Dubai has seen since its so-called “oil era” is indeed impressive. It demonstrates that a world-class tourism destination can still take hold in the modern era as infrastructure is built up. The United Arab Emirates destination along the Persian Gulf can serve as a warm-weather escape or bucket list essential for globe-trotters. With this in mind, Lifestyle Holiday Vacations recently entered into an agreement with Al Habtoor Group that saw the former expand its portfolio thanks to the latter’s existing offerings. It’s truly the best of both worlds for both groups – and it’s a win-win for Lifestyle Holiday Vacations shareholders, members and VIPs.

The network that Al Habtoor Group already operated in Dubai was impressive to say the least: 14 world-class hotels as well as Al Habtoor City, which is a leisure and residential destination in Dubai. The amenities that these structures offer are also impossible to beat when searching for a local hotel. World-class restaurants and bars and complemented by around-the-clock gyms and countless entertainment options for guests of all ages. It’s easy to see why Lifestyle Holiday Vacations counts this freshly-inked deal as a “win.”

“Lifestyle Holiday Vacations is continuing to grow its brand footprint in the hospitality industry by expanding into the highly luxurious destination of Dubai, which entertains millions of international travelers each year,” the company’s president said in 2019. More specifically, the deal will see the brand add resorts to the offerings that members can select from when traveling. The deal also solidifies the brand’s global reach within “choice” cities and ensures both current and future members will be able to enjoy the ultimate in vacation experiences. It’s the amenities that are going to help make this happen, and they are worth mentioning here: private balconies, beachfront views, snorkeling trips, illuminated tennis courts, polo academies, golf courses, spas, rooftop swimming pools, shuttle services, fitness centers and so much more.

“We are excited at the potential that such an exotic location offers our LHVC members,” Lifestyle Holiday Vacation’s president added in a mid-2019 statement. “This exciting new deal allows LHVC to become one of Dubai’s premier high-end destinations continuing our promise of the ultimate experience in premier amenities and services.” Those who’ve always wanted to travel to a destination unlike where they reside are encouraged to research Dubai and experience first-hand the attractions that currently await.

Depending on where you live, the tell-tale signs of fall’s approach are either evident by the changing of the leaves or the shifting of the calendar from August to September. October and November are months where many U.S. residents want to spend time outdoors appreciating the sights, sounds and smells. The same isn’t so true for January and February, when bitter cold keeps many of us indoors and severely limits pleasurable activity – unless of course you’ve booked an escape with Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club. This is a members-only experience, but it’s all-inclusive and you’ll be treated like a VIP for your entire stay at properties across the Dominican Republic. We know it’s difficult to think about crippling snowstorms when the leaves are just now starting to turn brown. After reading this article from Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club, we hope you’ll come to appreciate the perks that come with planning ahead.

Seasonal depression is a very real mental health issue for those who are forced during the winter to spend prolonged periods indoors with very little sunlight. According to WebMD.com, “winter depression is still a mystery to scientists who study it. Many things, including brain chemicals, ions in the air, and genetics seem to be involved.” The kicker here is that people who are apparently sensitive to a lack of light may be predisposed to suffering from seasonal depression. To combat these feelings, why not spend these first weeks of fall locking in your vacation plans for winter? With the knowledge that private beaches, tiki bars, scuba-diving trips and nature hikes are just a few months away, you’ll probably start feeling better.

As we’ve mentioned a few times already, however, Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club members will need to have goals set so they can book their trip at least four months in advance. This is according to SkyScanner.com, which advises international fliers to pick a Sunday in September to secure their seats. “Our data from 2018 indicates that booking in September can save as much as 6 percent on flights compared to the average yearly flight price,” the article states. Seeing as we’re smack in the middle of September, it may be time to commit to your vacation plans to the Dominican Republic.

It may seem strange to start thinking about a warm-weather get-away when the temperatures in your town are still hovering around the 70 to 80-degree mark. As evidenced above, this is statistically the smartest time to start thinking about world-class golf courses, island adventures and al fresco dining at Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club.
