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.

I had have the pleasure of returning once again to this stunning property. Repeat clients tend to spend their days around one of the three pools in the very capable hands of Tharindu, Ved and Mahesh, who cater to our every need, with grace, friendliness and a huge welcoming smile. I have been assisted as usual by my wonderful Host, Noushad, who with his organisational skills and expertise makes my vacation an amazing experience. In Zest, Hassan has brought warmth and professionalism, he has created a similar atmosphere as he did in 101, which he previously managed and established as one of the best restaurants in Dubai. All of the staff in Zest are a credit to O&O especially Kule and Izza. The Lounge Bar is expertly run by Faye, a rising O&O star, who has grown into the role and will continue to do so. I have had the pleasure of using Room Service which is overseen and Managed by Pritesh, who has done a marvellous job catering to my every need. It is impossible not to mention Kingsley, Abdul and Janna as incredible members of staff, plus the unsung heroes of O&O The Palm, which is the Housekeeping Department, my gratitude must go to Maria & Kapil who looked after my room and also to Shariff who for many years has kept the pool area absolutely spotless, he is a happy, jovial and hardworking character. Thank you O&O team! Read less

After 20 years of travelling regularly to Dubai, I can truly say that The One&Only The Palm has been the finest hotel experience I’ve had. From the moment I arrived, I was touched by the genuine warmth of the team. A special thank you to Rahul, the General Manager, for his outstanding service and to Stéphane, the French Executive Chef, for his exceptional hospitality and cuisine — their personal attention made me feel truly welcomed. In terms of quality, comfort, and luxury, everything was simply unparalleled. The atmosphere is serene yet vibrant, every detail carefully thought out, and the level of service exceeded all expectations. Without doubt, this is the best hotel I have ever stayed in Dubai, and I look forward to returning. Read less

A fantastic resort with first class accommodation and service, location was mildly remote but everything else was great.
