Ever feel like you want to escape to a private island far, far away – well here’s your chance. This is the first resort to open on Dubai’s astonishing archipelago, and they’ve not done things by half. Arrive at Anantara The Palm Dubai and jump onboard your boat transfer across to this luxury, secluded island and leave the city behind. You won’t need to pack many pairs of shoes for this trip, as you’ll find yourself with the sand between your toes for the majority of the time, whether it’s stepping our from your beachfront room, taking part in the watersports, or watching a movie under the stars. You’ll feel far away from Dubai city but you can enjoy spectacular views of it whilst dining on tapas and wine at Luna, a cool island haunt with chilled vibes. Speaking of chilled, why not take part in one of the beach yoga classes to start your day? Whilst there is an air of relaxation around the place, little ones will enjoy the activities on offer at the kids’ club and there’s beach volleyball available should you wish to exert a bit more energy. And why not upgrade to a pool villa for that added privacy, complete with sparkling ocean views from your own private pool.

We really wanted to stay on the islands, so a good deal popped up. Great staff and experience. The rooms with the pool and outdoor shower/tub were something very unexpected. It was a bit chilly in February, but not too bad during the day in the sun. Overall very good. Only issues I'd say to be on the look out for is the beaches aren't that great.…

They haven't trucked in the fine sand you'd normally expect.

Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Luxury Price
I recently stayed at this hotel for two nights, expecting a luxury experience, but was sorely disappointed. The only available room I was checked into had a terrible smell, and the only alternative required an extra charge despite which is unacceptable for a high-end establishment. To make matters worse, the hotel hosted a “last minute” wedding without informing guests in advance, thats two out of the three restaurants we’re not available to dine in. Limited dining options and an unpleasant room made for a frustrating stay in addition to waiting a hour for the main & eventually cancelling due to the wait.
For the price, I expected much better service and transparency. Would not return.
