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.

Dining is another huge treat with three superb restaurants to choose from, all under the expert guidance of three Michelin star chef Yannick Alléno.

Possibly the best hotel in Dubai for a leisure visit. The beauty and good taste of the place as well as some of the bedrooms in the main building are hard to beat. Pleasant beach, excellent food and service. A bit out of the beaten path, at the end of The Palm, so may be not an ideal location if one is in a rush, on a business trip. But, truly a… Read more

Felt a bit cheeky to call it a suite as the sofa area was in the sleeping space, but the outside area was nice and the private pool was ample. We only stayed a night as we were passing through the city. All of the staff were very helpful. To be honest it was really nice overall and I'd definitely return for a longer stay when I'm next dragged to Dubai. Read less

By far the best hotel experience I’ve had for a long time and certainly the best in Dubai. Attentive staff, quality food and beautiful facilities. The only small problem (and this is not the hotels fault) is the noise that comes from West Beach opposite. Simply wonderful experience.

We had a short 3 day break here and loved every minute. We've stayed at many hotels in Dubai but this was our first time at the One & Only The Palm and it is definitely my favourite. If you are looking to get away from all the madness this is the place, super tranquil but pure luxury. The food is amazing, we loved the breakfast but also the food at 101 on the marina was stunning. The rooms beautiful, spacious with very very comfy beds. The staff couldnt be more attentive without being overbearing. The staff at the Safina pool were particularly helpful. The two pools are absolutely beautiful but we spent most of our time at the adults only Safina Pool which was so tranquil with the comfiest pool beds i've ever had. We will definitely be returning and would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a luxurious escape. Read less
