A closer look at One&Only in Dubai

18 September 2026

Dubai is known for its glittering skyline, desert adventures, and impressive choice of luxury hotels, but One&Only offers a more refined way to experience the city. At both One&Only Royal Mirage and One&Only The Palm, guests can enjoy private beaches, exceptional dining, beautifully designed accommodation, and thoughtful experiences, while still being within easy reach of landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and Palm Jumeirah.

One&Only Royal Mirage

Set along a one-kilometre private beach beside the Arabian Gulf, One&Only Royal Mirage combines traditional Arabian architecture with polished modern service. The resort stretches across 65 acres of palm-filled gardens and includes three distinct areas, giving couples, families, and groups plenty of space to settle into their own style of holiday. Families can enjoy the lagoon-style Arabian Court Pool, complete with a children’s slide, while younger guests are kept entertained at KidsOnly with activities including sand art, kite flying, crafts, and culinary classes.

There’s plenty to enjoy beyond the beach, too. Dining ranges from pan-Asian flavours and Levantine specialities to Indian fine dining and the French-inspired DRIFT Dubai, which overlooks the skyline from its private stretch of sand. For a quieter stay, The Residence is an adults-only retreat with its own pool, personalised host service, daily breakfast, afternoon tea, and access to The Dining Room and Library Bar. Guests can also unwind with an Oriental Hammam ritual or a treatment at One&Only Spa, while private villas have their own pools, direct beach access, and dedicated hosts.

One&Only The Palm

At the tip of Palm Jumeirah, One&Only The Palm feels more intimate, with low-rise buildings, Andalusian-inspired design, and a private stretch of golden sand. Rooms, suites, and villas are designed for indoor-outdoor living, with spacious terraces and garden or sea views, with selected accommodation featuring private pools. Families are particularly well catered for, with two-bedroom family rooms sleeping up to six guests, complimentary KidsOnly access, daily breakfast at Zest, and water park access included with stays.

The resort’s restaurants bring a different mood to every meal, from relaxed breakfasts and Neapolitan-style pizzas at Zest to seafood with French-Mediterranean flair at 101. For a special evening, STAY by Yannick Alléno offers Michelin-starred French dining, while the Guerlain Spa provides a sophisticated place to slow down with treatments inspired by French beauty expertise and Arabia. Guests can also take to the water on a private cruise, explore Old Dubai and the Creek in a classic car, or head into the desert for falconry displays and Emirati dining.

3 different ways to experience Malta on a city break

09 October 2026

A city break in Malta can look very different depending on how you like to travel. You could check into a five-star hotel and build your days around art, architecture, and Michelin-starred dining. You could slow everything down, wandering through neighbourhoods, stopping for pastizzi, and exploring historic towns. Or you could use the city as a base for hiking, kayaking, diving, and days spent discovering Malta’s coastline. Here are three ways to make a short break in Malta completely your own.

The perfect guide to a Valletta city break

09 October 2026

For a city break with plenty to see, eat, and experience, Valletta makes a wonderful choice. Malta’s compact capital is easy to explore on foot, with honey-coloured streets leading to grand palaces, historic churches, and harbour viewpoints. From its impressive fortifications to its lively restaurant scene, Valletta brings together centuries of history and a distinctly Mediterranean way of life, making it ideal for visitors who want more from a short break than simply sightseeing.

Bhutan offers a rare sense of stepping away from the familiar. On a recent eight-night journey, a group of Travel Counsellors travelled from Thimphu to Gangtey, Punakha, and Paro, experiencing mountain passes, riverside valleys, ancient monasteries, local communities, and peaceful highland landscapes along the way. The itinerary combined significant landmarks with hands-on experiences and quieter moments, offering a thoughtful introduction to a country that still feels wonderfully untouched.
