2. Enjoy a romantic date on a yacht

A romantic dinner date on a yacht is a great way to add some romantic vibes. A three-hour cruise with a three-course meal and a romantic table setting is all that is required. The yacht's crew is professional and treats guests with the utmost hospitality.

3. Cozy up in the Snow Cinema at Ski Dubai

Nothing beats a movie date, but why not try something different and watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster in the snow? Tickets for Ski Dubai's Snow Cinema start at Dhs200 per couple, with hot chocolate and popcorn. 

4. Experience love at first sight with The Miracle Garden

With The Miracle Garden, you can experience love at first sight. Have you ever imagined 45 million flowers in full bloom? The Miracle Garden, as the name suggests, is one of the most romantic places in Dubai. The world's largest natural flower garden definitely rekindles a relationship and makes everyone fall in love with millions of flowers.

5. Go glamping 

Starlight Camp, a pop-up site in the desert, is a cozy setting designed with romance in mind. It is a bubble tent with a transparent roof for long nights of stargazing. Nature walks, treasure hunts, and sundowners on sand dunes can all be arranged, and as nightfall approaches, a warm bonfire is lit for snuggling up in soft blankets. 

6. Eat at Akira Back

Akira Back's dramatic entrance sets the tone for a memorable date night, with artful Japanese fare and cutting-edge decor. If the weather permits, reserve a table on the terrace. It has the sultry, LA rooftop vibe that Akira Back restaurants are known for, with dim lighting interrupted by neon pink hues, a floating bar surrounded by water, and smooth house hits providing the perfect soundtrack for your date night.

7. Enjoy the rainforest at Green Planet

Enjoy a date unlike any other while being enchanted by exotic flora and fauna. The indoor tropical biodome at Green Planet will take you to another world. Spend the day exploring the rainforest with macaws and other birds flying past you and sloths lounging on trees as you pass. Green Planet experience is worth sharing with someone you love, and even with your whole family.

8. Check out a romantic movie under the stars 

Get two tickets to one of Dubai's outdoor cinemas and watch a movie under the stars. You can even set up a movie area in the front yard of your Dubai rental villa for those who prefer their privacy. It doesn't get any better than being spoiled at the movies, wherever you want to see your movie.

9. Experience theatre at its best at Dubai Opera 

When it comes to sophisticated and formal date ideas in Dubai, one of the best places to take your partner out for the evening is the Dubai Opera. This cultural landmark in Downtown Dubai hosts some of the most spectacular theatrical performances in the country and is a quick walk away from top restaurants.

10. Take a picture of yourself at The Love Lakes

Whether you're looking for some romance or just a great photo with your loved that will get all the likes on Instagram, it's time to head to Love Lakes at Al Qudra. The two intertwined heart-shaped lakes are truly breathtaking, and the surrounding area even includes trees that spell out the word "love."
