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.

George@bushhilltravel.co.uk, 0208 350 6018. A superb service offered by George, making all the arrangements so seamless! The hotel was simply amazing. We were in need of a restful holiday, and we certainly had that in luxury surroundings. The Team at the Hotel, went out of their way to ensure our stay was the best it could be. Without exception, everyone was so lovely, helpful, thoughtful and kind. The room we had, pools, restaurants and Spa were all out of this world. A particular thank you to Andrei, our host, who made our stay so special. Our only disappointment was having to leave! We hope to be back again soon. Read less

This hotel is not only the best One and Only we have stayed at, but probably the best hotel resort we have ever stayed at. The staff are amazing and make you feel special from the minute you walk in, the 3 restaurants are all excellent and the pool areas are second to none. It’s the first time my wife and I have stayed at the hotel, but we will be back soon. I must make a special mention for our host Sujith who looked after our every need and also our room cleaner Sara who was efficient and always very polite. Bill M Read less
