The amazing One&Only Royal Mirage – one of our top picks in a destination full of tempting choices – actually consists of three properties spread across 65 lush acres: the Residence & Spa (understated sophistication), the Palace (Moorish-inspired) and the Arabian Court (super opulent).
Thanks to its fabulous location on Jumeirah Beach beside the Palm Jumeirah, just down the road from Dubai Marina, you can enjoy views of the iconic cityscape from its pools and kilometre-long beach. Here are some of the many reasons we recommend a stay at this world-class resort.
The wellness facilities
This is a resort that doesn’t limit itself to a simple spa menu but instead treats guests to a full wellness overhaul, thanks to the incredible Health and Beauty Institute located within The Residence. Available for those staying in all three hotels, this institute is an inspiring sanctuary dedicated to relaxation, fitness, pampering, and rejuvenation – home to the resort’s state-of-the-art gym and to the One&Only Spa.
The latter is simply breathtaking, with Arabesque treatment rooms, steam rooms, saunas, plunge pools, and a sumptuous hammam where you can indulge in authentic Moroccan bathing rituals. We guarantee they’ll transport you to another world. Yoga fans will also love the option of sunrise and sundown sessions on the beach.
The choice of hotels and vast array of places to eat
A member of the prestigious Leading Hotels of the World portfolio, the Residence & Spa is the most exclusive and intimate of the three properties. Choose it for its deeply cocooning rooms and suites, and for its tranquil residents-only dining in The Dining Room and The Lobby Lounge. Meanwhile, The Palace was the first built of the three properties and has become a Dubai landmark – its grand Moorish architecture is combined with chic modern Arabic rooms and suites, plus four restaurants including a sleek beach lounge. Lastly, there’s the Arabian Court with its dramatic design and gardens with fountains and walkways, offering all-sea-facing rooms and suites.
Choose from a selection of restaurants, including Eauzone serving Asian-fusion cuisine on floating decks, The Courtyards where you can sit on cushions beneath the star-speckled Arabian skies while feasting on mezze, or indulge in fine-dining experiences overseen by three-Michelin-starred Mauro Colagreco. Other options include traditional Moroccan dishes at Tagine, and Mediterranean favourites at the adults-only Drift Beach Dubai, with its pool bar and DJ sets.
The activities; from water park fun to wildlife drives
You’ll have worked up an appetite taking part in a whole array of sports available at One&Only Royal Mirage, including snorkelling, kayaking, water-skiing, tennis, and beach volleyball. Your exceptional butlers will also organise rounds of golf or tuition at world-class clubs nearby, while the concierge will set you up with thrilling pursuits including desert dune-bashing, sand-surfing, and even skydiving.
There are also extra-special ‘At One With Nature’ experiences including hot air balloon rides over the desert, falconry sessions, guided wildlife drives in a vintage Range Rover, and gourmet Arabian breakfasts.
If you’re here with kids, there’s complimentary access to the Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis The Palm, as well as a kids’ club with activities such as henna-painting and sand sculpting.
