One&Only The Palm
A luxurious oasis on the exclusive Palm Island, this elegant resort offers you access to the very best of Dubai. Combining opulence, luxury, privacy and style, this Dubai favourite occupies a privileged beachfront position and views out to the Arabian Gulf. This place is so luxurious you’ll feel a thousand miles from civilisation… and yet you’re perfectly located for exploring Dubai’s delights.
Beachside bliss
This is, without a doubt, Dubai’s most intimate beachfront escape. Here you can lounge on the white sands, soaking in the sun and gazing at the glittering skyline of New Dubai before you, or take shelter beneath a swaying palm – drink in hand – and watch the light sparkle on the azure water.
The spacious 850 sq m pool is lined with palms and bordered by plush double daybeds and chic cabanas for ultimate relaxation. For something a little more active, the private beach is the perfect place from which to launch a sea-kayaking, windsurfing or mini catamaran adventure.
Foodie Feasts
Dubai is a renowned culinary epicentre, and One&Only The Palm itself is one of the emirate’s highlights. Cuisine here is overseen by celebrated chef Yannick Alléno, who has earned no fewer than 14 Michelin stars, so foodies will truly be in heaven here.

Let the adventure begin
Within the resort itself there’s plenty to occupy you – including a variety of weekly activities such as 'Family Bonfire with storytelling', 'Chocolate Atelier at STAY by Yannick Alléno', and 'Meet the Mixologist'. But the resort’s location means there’s a world of discovery right on your doorstep, so every moment of your holiday can be packed with adventure.

Take in what will be one of the most glorious sunsets you ever see as you sit around a roaring fire snacking on mezze and enjoying traditional music – an incredible experience.
For something a little different, take to the streets of Old Dubai and be guided through centuries of history and culture. Take a meandering Abra boat down Dubai Creek, wander through bustling souks and immerse yourself in this fascinating place like the locals do.

Let the adventure begin
With all of Dubai on your doorstep, there’s no end to the activities on offer for Royal Mirage guests. So it’s really a question of what do you want to do, not what can you do. Golf?

Dubai is an adventurer’s playground. Explore the desert on camelback, on a sand-boarding mission or in a purpose-built 4x4 for an exhilarating dune-bashing adventure. Head to a traditional Bedouin camp for an authentic mezze feast, be entertained with falconry and belly dancing, have your hands adorned in henna, star gaze with your expert guide or even try traditional shisha.
