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.

This was better than expected, it surprised me. I’ve stayed at other places in Dubai, but this one felt different, in a good way. It’s right at the end of the outer Palm, so it’s a longer drive in and out (especially if you’re heading to Business Bay or downtown), but that’s kind of what makes it special. Once you’re in, it doesn’t feel so busy as other places. It’s calm, quiet, and honestly feels like you’ve left the city without leaving the city. The resort itself is stunning. The architecture is old Spanish palace vibe, elegant without being over the top. Everything’s beautifully done, from the landscaping to the tiny design details. Now, service in Dubai is usually quick and great across the board, but this place goes above and beyond. Not in that scripted "yes sir” kind of way, but more genuine. Delly, our guest host, was genuinely incredible, attentive, kind, and just had this calm energy that makes you feel looked after without being hovered over. Breakfast was spot on. Clean, quality food, great pastries, nothing too gimmicky. The Italian restaurant was alright too, not 'mad', but definitely good. We didn’t get around to trying the French one, it's a niche taste. This place is luxury done right. No pretentiousness, just peaceful, polished, and really well run. I’d definitely come back—unless I was stuck doing daily meetings in Business Bay, then I’d probably stay closer in. But if you’re here to unwind, this is it. The standout bits • Feels like a true escape—quiet, private, and peaceful • Gorgeous architecture with real charm • Customer service that actually feels personal (shoutout to Delly) • Excellent breakfast with quality, fresh options • Calm, luxurious atmosphere that doesn’t try too hard Worth keeping in mind • Located right at the end of the Palm, so getting around takes longer • On-site dining is decent but limited if you want variety. • Probably not ideal if you need to be zipping around the city every day Read less

This is our second time at this resort as we were so impressed the first time round, it did not let us down, You are truly in the lap of luxury where every need is anticipated and fulfilled, any request they will do there best to complete, The breakfast and dining options were of the highest quality as were the fitness facilities, the property is the last one on the Palm so suggest you either want a mainly resort experience or you have rented a car. Even better if - we had half board booked and quite a few items on the menu had a surcharge which was different to last year (except the 2* Michelin eatery), this does impact the customer experience and given the price they are charging it’s not an issue to just include this cost in the initial booking, it’s the small things that count, Read less
