The hotel

Anantara’s latest 5-star edition is located on the fantastic Palm Jumeirah and perfectly combines contemporary Asian flair with world-class facilities on this peaceful part of the palm. Rooms are grouped in private clusters along a series of shimmering lagoons, the only accommodations of this type in Dubai and backed by luscious landscape. Some have direct pool access. Some villas have infinity pools of their very own. On honeymoon? Upgrade to a One Bedroom Over Water Villa, perfect for any special occasion, not only are they sumptuously furnished but the gentle lapping of the ocean around you is a sound you’ll adore. Families too will love the Anantara, there’s so much for kids to do. Not only do children and teens have their very own clubs to hang out in, with activities galore, there’s a playground, babysitting on request and a private beach to play on. Whilst they’re busy, indulge yourself at the world-renowned Anantara Spa or laze by one of the swimming pools, topping up your tan. Come sundown, you’ve five restaurants to choose from, serving delicious dishes from around the world. First though, bag yourself a seat on the shisha deck and enjoy a cocktail!

Aung was great and provided excellent service and helped with all our requests when we spoke to him at reception. The whole Crescendo team were amazing and the food was great and I miss it a lot. Meena and all the team plus the amazing chefs were so welcoming. Su May was very friendly on our last night including pila. Roshan and Aashish were great too and no request was too big. Chayma at reception helped us a lot booking a cab and was very friendly. Myat at the Bushman restaurant provided amazing, friendly service which made both our meals and experience very good.
