Sheraton Sharjah Beach Resort & Spa

★★★★★Al Muntazah beachfront, SharjahSpecialist pick

Overview

The Sheraton Sharjah Beach Resort & Spa sits on Al Muntazah beach, one of Sharjah's longest open stretches of sand, and functions as the emirate's main full-service beach resort. With 349 rooms and suites, it suits UAE resident families who want a proper resort weekend without the Dubai price tag or the alcohol.

Expect two pools, a private beach with loungers and cabanas, a supervised kids club, and enough dining variety across six venues that nobody in the family is stuck eating the same buffet three nights running. Service leans warm and attentive, guests regularly mention staff going out of their way, and the pace is unhurried rather than buzzy.

This is a dry hotel — no alcohol anywhere on the property, since Sharjah itself is alcohol-free — which some families see as the whole point and others should know before booking. Summer heat is intense by midday, so beach and pool time works best early morning or after 4pm; winter months are far more comfortable for a full day outdoors.

Eating and drinking

Al Qubtan — A casual beachside restaurant serving international fare and grills with views over the Arabian Gulf, described by the hotel as light and playful. Works well for a relaxed family lunch or a sunset dinner, mocktails only given the dry policy.
Gusti — The all-day international buffet with live cooking stations and terrace seating overlooking the sea, covering breakfast through to themed dinners. This is the easy family choice — plenty of variety keeps fussy eaters happy.
Marasea — A seafood-focused restaurant blending Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Asian flavours, with guests able to pick their own fish and cooking style. More of an evening venue for parents after a slightly dressier dinner, indoors or on the terrace.
Arjwan — The hotel's Emirati restaurant, serving traditional local dishes with regional spices in an indoor and al fresco setting inspired by Gulf heritage. Good for anyone wanting an authentic taste of the region rather than another international menu.
Al Mahatta — A relaxed lounge for coffee, light bites and after-dinner treats, styled around Sheraton's Link Café concept with artisanal desserts. A quieter spot for parents once the children have had enough of the buffet noise.

Getting there

It's roughly a 25-40 minute drive from Dubai depending on where you start and traffic on the E11 or E311, with Sharjah International Airport closer still at around 20 minutes away. There's free on-site parking, and given the drive is straightforward and toll-light, most UAE resident families just self-drive rather than book a transfer.
