Renowned celebrity couple explores Dubai to uncover romantic and family-fun experiences



This May, Malaysia's celebrity couple Akim Ahmad and Stacy Anam spent a romantic honeymoon holiday in Dubai, the world’s 4th most visited destination in 2015. The couple had an amazing time exploring the latest attractions and learning about the local culture of Dubai.

Akim and Stacy visited a number of places of interest in Dubai: from Downtown Dubai, the most popular retail, dining and entertainment destination in the heart of Dubai, to the fascinating gold and spice souks, the celebrity couple never had a dull moment in the world’s most captivating city.

"It was an incredible honeymoon for us. We had great fun meeting the penguins, swimming with dolphins, visiting the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo in the Dubai Mall and shopping at the traditional markets for Abayas and traditional Middle Eastern food. We appreciated the warm hospitality from the people of Dubai and were amazed at how affordable products and activities were," says Stacy.


Akim also added, "I love how the modern city of Dubai also has a traditional, authentic side to offer. The sunset in the desert was breathtaking and the most exciting part of it was the sand-dune bashing, which we had never experienced before. The view from the observation deck of the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, impressed us hugely - we were able to see the beautiful landscape of Dubai as far as the Palm Island!" When asked whether they will visit again, he said: "We will definitely visit Dubai again in the future. There are many attractions that families with kids would love."

A weekend at Kudat Riviera

Last weekend, I was lucky enough to be invited for a complimentary night's stay at the Serendipity Villa of Kudat Riviera. For anyone who has been following the project, the Kudat Riviera was a promising luxury villa project that was halfway done and abandoned due to some complicated reasons several years ago. Fortunately, the owners and original investors of the project eventually returned and became their own developers to see through the project's completion -- and the result is stunning! As of today, the only villa that is open for rent is the Serendipity Villa (with rental starting from MYR500 per room/night), but the rest of the villas (five to six of them ready) will be officially opened for the public in November. The Bali-inspired Kudat Riviera makes an exciting place for a weekend getaway with family and friends, as well as to hold small gatherings and events, such as birthday parties and beach or garden weddings. Serendipity Villa is located...
