Dubai - Hilton Hotels has announced special summer offers for summer travellers at several of their key properties across the UAE, Oman and Kuwait, including four 5-star resorts perched on private beaches and surrounded by landscaped gardens and luxurious spas.

Guy Epsom, Regional Director of Sales & Marketing for Hilton Hotels in the Arabian Peninsula and Indian Ocean, said: "our promotions will help people across the GCC beat the heat without leaving the region. You can stay in your own backyard and enjoy quality service, 5-star amenities, and beautiful, landscaped beachfronts to equal those found anywhere in the world. These are highly competitive rates that we are confident will be popular with discerning regional travellers."

The Hilton Al-Ain promotion consists of a room rate of AED 348 for a standard deluxe room, inclusive of a Hilton buffet breakfast and free use of Hiltonia Sports & Leisure facilities such as a fully equipped fitness centre, two temperature controlled swimming pools, and a nine-hole, par 3 golf course.
