In a place infatuated with superlatives and advancements, One&Only The Palm stretches out languidly; an enticing boutique-style hideaway that promotes slow living and rejuvenation in all its forms. A testament to the benefits of truly switching off, the atmosphere of calm that permeates the air here has mellowed-out guests forgetting the desert metropolis sitting just outside of its walls.
Travel notes:
Rooms feature a generous amount of luxurious living space and either a private balcony or garden patio. Located within the main manor house, rooms are complete with a sumptuous freestanding marble bath, and separate walk-in rain shower.
With your own private pool, and uninterrupted views of either the New Dubai skyline or the iconic landscape of One&Only The Palm, this suite allows space and privacy with its expansive living and dining areas and grand master bedroom. One of only two suites of its kind, the suite is also home to its own beachfront garden patio and round-the-clock service.
Just steps away from the beach, this lavish living space is home to captivating sea views or lush garden vistas. Featuring either a sea-front garden patio, furnished with chic outdoor seating, or a private balcony, this room is ideal for couples seeking a perfectly Dubain getaway.
A freestanding villa set over two storeys, features of this beachfront abode include a grand entrance foyer, two master bedrooms, outdoor shaded garden areas and private gardens and swimming pool. Each of the four villas is home to Andalusian and Moorish inspired architecture and contemporary interiors.
Its location reclining on the furthest point of The Palm’s prestigious west arm not only prompts peace, it ensures privacy, and so much so that it exudes the air of a pseudo private members’ club. While space is a premium in much of Dubai, here it is celebrated with large walkways carving through Moorish archways that lead to expansive pools lined with cabanas and fragrant frangipani trees.
…refined hedonistic living and the finest dining. Dubai is a destination eager to attract attention, but here it’s for all the right reasons. One&Only’s tastefully opulent offering is the place to tune out from daily distractions and indulge any selfish desires; with exclusive treatments at one of only six Guerlain hotel spas and experimental gastronomic dramatics at three Michelin-starred Chef Yannick Alleno’s STAY, this is an easy and polished approach to Dubai’s usual extravagance.
With a two-bedroom family-focused villa perched on the oceanfront and a KidsOnly Club prepared to whisk eager children off to sister hotel One&Only Royal Mirage for fun on motorised water sports, this is a place where little ones can run riot without disturbing the peace. Families looking for all-singing-all-dancing entertainment outside its walls, find it in Dubai’s oversized theme parks, mega malls and its genuine something-for-everyone promise.
With the resort’s dedication to ensuring easy relaxation, it’s no wonder the swimming pool takes centre stage. Lined with double day beds (perfect for blissed-out couples) and private air-conditioned cabanas that hide among the palm trees offering access to the beach, indoor space to escape the heat and an attentive pool host, once settled here there is little need or desire to venture elsewhere.
The low-rise advantage of One&Only The Palm is felt best in the Palm Beach Mansion suites – take note, a luxury hotel suite with private swimming pool and direct beach access is a rare find in Dubai. These large suites (even the entry level rooms here are among the biggest in the city) lined with dark woods and plush soft furnishings, spill out onto beachfront patios that guarantee breakfast is accompanied by sandy toes and a soundtrack of birdsong and ocean waves.
For an insight into Dubai’s sandy roots, an overnight desert safari cruising through the Desert Conservation Reserve in a classic 1950s Land Rover comes close; picture camel rides, henna tattoos, live bread making and a traditional performance by locals. As the sun sets, dinner is served in an authentic Bedouin camp, while the morning welcomes caviar breakfast and hot-air balloon ride complete with a world-first in-air falconry display – an art that’s been part of desert life here for hundreds of years.
"Offering unrivalled views of Dubai Marina and the glistening skyline in the distance, One&Only The Palm is, in my opinion, the most secluded and exclusive resort in Dubai."
