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.

A new year of travel is a chance to take a different route: swap the familiar beach break for a stretch of Albania’s Riviera, follow the Silk Road by train, or spend a few days among volcanic lakes in the Azores. These seven destinations are all reachable for a well-planned holiday, yet each offers something that can make a trip feel fresh, from the food and landscapes to the little-known corners between the headline sights. Here are some ideas to get your 2027 plans started.

Travel Counsellors explore Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies

23 October 2026

Six days, three cities, one very special train journey, and a lot of incredible scenery in between. A group of Travel Counsellors recently travelled through Western Canada, starting in Vancouver before heading through the Rockies to Jasper, Banff, and finally Calgary. It was a busy few days, but that meant getting a real feel for just how much variety you can pack into a Canada holiday – from mountains and waterfalls to city neighbourhoods, food tours, iconic lakes, and a few unexpected moments along the way.

What to expect from the new Hillside Resort Bodrum

A new name is arriving on the Bodrum Peninsula for summer 2027. Opening in April, Hillside Resort Bodrum brings the Hillside approach to Gündoğan Bay, with sweeping Aegean views, a private beach, generous outdoor spaces, and plenty of ways to spend the day. For guests visiting in its first season, there’s also the excitement of being among the first to experience it.
