Website Design for Holiday Resorts in the UAE
A resort is a whole stay, not just a room. This fictional sample shows how accommodation, activities and the surrounding coast can share one page.
A website for a holiday resort in the UAE should sell the whole stay: accommodation options, activities, dining, the surrounding scenery and a simple reservation route. It needs rich, honest photography, clear family and group information, mobile-first speed and complete English and Arabic content.

Sample website design for Holiday Resorts
Sea-and-forest resort layout: bay hero, accommodation cards, aerial map, activity tiles and form.
What should a holiday resort website include?
A resort website needs to answer one question quickly: what will our days here look like? Visitors are picking a destination as much as a bed, so the page should join accommodation, activities and place together.
- Accommodation pages for each type, such as rooms, suites, chalets or villas, with floor plans or layouts where useful
- An activities section covering water sports, spa, yoga, excursions and children's clubs, as the resort actually runs them
- Dining pages describing restaurants, meal arrangements and dietary options
- A destination map or aerial view explaining where the resort sits and what is nearby
- Family, couples and group pages for different kinds of visitors
- A seasonal or events note, written without promotional pricing
- A gallery of daytime, evening and weather-varied photographs
- A reservation form and WhatsApp contact with the dates and party size pre-asked
The sample uses a regional map block and an activity strip so the surroundings carry as much weight as the rooms.
How do holiday guests find a resort before they book?
People tend to search for a type of stay in a region, then move through photographs, maps and reviews before they contact anyone. A resort that explains the place well is easier to picture than one that only lists room sizes.
Families check practical points: transfer arrangements, whether children are catered for, and whether there is something to do on a wet or very hot day. Visitors from different countries read English or Arabic, so both versions should be equally complete. Because the choice is emotional, the first screen matters: a real photograph of the resort, a clear name and a visible way to ask a question. Many guests prefer to confirm details by WhatsApp, so a quick, conversational reply route is valuable.
What should a resort prepare before design starts?
Prepare a clear description of each accommodation type and a full list of activities with who they suit. Photography should be taken across the property and ideally in different light.
- Accommodation list, capacity and facilities
- Activities with age and safety notes
- Meal and dining arrangements
- Transfer and arrival details
Tourism businesses and activity operators are licensed and regulated, and safety wording may need approval, so confirm requirements with the relevant authority or a lawyer. We design remotely from Istanbul and can work from photographs you send digitally.
Frequently asked questions
How should activities be presented on a resort site?
Give each activity a short card and a page where it matters, with who it suits, what is included and how to ask about it. Describe only what the resort genuinely provides and avoid vague claims. Photographs of real guests work well, shared only with permission.
Can the site support both families and couples?
Yes. A resort website can offer separate entry points for families, couples and groups, each highlighting different facilities and photographs while sharing the same booking route. This keeps the home page tidy while helping each visitor see themselves there.
Do we need an online booking system?
Not necessarily. Many resorts begin with a structured enquiry form and WhatsApp, then add a booking engine later. A custom booking tool is possible as web software and would be scoped separately. We do not build online shops or payment checkouts.
Will you write the text for us?
We structure the pages and can help shape the wording from the facts you provide, including English and Arabic. You should check everything for accuracy before launch, because only you know what the resort really offers. We do not invent details about facilities.
