The hotel

An oasis of stylish energy and tranquility, One&Only The Palm is a luxurious addition to Palm Island's impressive portfolio. Blending Moorish and Andalusian architecture with contemporary, chic interiors, guest rooms are divided between the manor house and beachfront mansions, boasting every home comfort you can think of, including luxury marble bathrooms and a private balcony or garden patio. Choose to stay steps from the sea or surrounded by lush, green gardens. As well as lazing on your own private stretch of beach in oversized day beds, you can splash about to your heart’s content in the 850 sq m swimming pool or indulge in water sports galore at its sister hotel One&Only Royal Mirage. There are also several world-class golf courses a short drive away as well as Atlantis Aquaventure, Dubai’s most popular water park. For sheer relaxation, head to the Guerlain Spa, a tranquil retreat set amidst ponds, fountains and open courtyards. The health conscious will appreciate a state-of-the-art fitness centre, tennis court as well as an adult-only pool. To ensure that your family enjoys its stay at One&Only The Palm there is a kid’s programme that is designed to help keep your children entertained, allowing you to make the most of the resort’s many wonderful facilities. Dining is another huge treat with three superb restaurants to choose from, all under the expert guidance of three Michelin star chef Yannick Alléno. ZEST is the main restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows and a lovely outdoor patio overlooking the pool and gardens whilst STAY by Yannick Alléno showcases traditional cooking methods reinterpreted in a contemporary way.

This is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed at. Not simply because it is beautifully designed and looked after but because the hotel staff are world class. Every member of staff took the time to introduce themselves, support my needs and remember my name. The manner in which they did it was exceptional and not overwhelming. They even remembered the names of friends who came to visit me at the hotel. This will be the only place I stay when I return back to Dubai and you should too! It’s worth the expense. Read less
