STAY AND PLAY IN BAKU Only 2 ½ hours from Dubai

Throughout the majority of the Middle East, the looming summer months spark a certain amount of trepidation among all but the most robust golfers.
Searing temperatures and smothering humidity mean that most of us confine our rounds to either early mornings or late afternoons. Many of us pack the clubs away altogether and only dust them off when we’re travelling to some far flung international destination.
But did you know that there is a destination reachable in only two hours from Dubai where the mercury rarely surpasses 35˚C even at the height of summer and it’s possible to play until the sun sets at around 8.30pm. Throw into the mix, world-class golf and five-star hotel luxury at affordable prices and it becomes clear that Baku in Azerbaijan is a real hidden gem.
Dreamland Golf Club has partnered with the exquisite Fairmont Baku,Flame Towers offering not one, but two exclusive deals to stay and play. Situated close to downtown Baku’s luminous shopping and restaurant scene, the Fairmont offers fully-equipped health club, spa by ESPA, exquisite dining and rapturous views – it’s one destination non-golfers will be equally keen on.
