What’s On has details of the ‘world’s most expensive’ Valentine’s Day celebration. Shangri-La Abu Dhabi offer a package worth Dhs400,000.


They say money can’t buy love, but for Dhs400,000 you can enjoy the most expensive Valentine’s Day package in the UAE. Possibly, the world.

Abu Dhabi’s five-star Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri, has launched the exclusive offer for most romantic day of the year, which they claim surpasses anything else on offer on the planet.

Guests forking out the eye-watering sum will be collected via private limousine from anywhere in the city and upon arrival be checked in to the Presidential Suite, prepared with fresh flowers, premium gourmet chocolates and the finest vintage champagne on ice.

Afterwards guests will choose from a menu of pampering treatments at CHI, The Spa. Items on the ‘Indulgence Of Time’ selection include an exfoliating and cleansing caviar facial. Yes, that kind of caviar.

A seven-course set menu will be hosted on the rooftop of the property featuring oysters and caviar, just perhaps not the same selection used in your earlier massage. If it’s an awkward first date, you’ll be please to hear a magician and private musician will entertain the couple during the meal.

The evening is capped off with handpicked gifts, of Montre Hublot for him and Dior couture for her, chosen by a personal shopper. And then it’s skywards for a helicopter ride around the capital.
