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!

All in all it's a wonderful place to stay at, clean and beautiful. if a family wishes to stay here I would highly recommend especially around the lagoon pool. if you wish to have quiet time perhaps choose a different room that is not around a public pool. overall, I like Anantara for families but not singles.

We stayed at The Anantara for 6 nights. It was sheer luxury. We chose a Premier Lagoon Access room which was amazing. The room was very spacious and equipped with everything we needed and housekeeping were always on hand when we needed extra towels. The restaurants were first class with plenty of variety . We ate in the main restaurant most of the time as the food was so varied and of a high standard. We also ate in Mekong , the atmosphere was very authentic and the food was exceptional. The grounds were beautiful and there were always staff around tending the gardens and keeping it clean and tidy. Staff throughout the resort were always pleasant and happy to help. Overall a first class resort we will definitely return. Read less
