With just 94 rooms, suites, and two-bedroom beachfront villas, this resort on the private peninsula of Palm Island always impresses us with its majestic interiors combined with fantastic facilities and outstanding service. Its intimate atmosphere appeals to those wishing to escape from it all. But for times when you want something a bit livelier, the resort also runs private and scheduled boat shuttles from its secluded marina to its larger sister resort, the One&Only Royal Mirage.
Here's why you should choose One&Only The Palm for your Dubai holiday.
The accommodation and the dining
At One&Only The Palm you can choose between Moorish-Andalusian rooms and suites in the Manor House and the low-rise Mansions, and private beachfront villas with two bedrooms and temperature-controlled pools – all set in grounds dotted with intricate fountains and shimmering pools.
For on-site dining, the signature restaurant here is STAY by Yannick Alléno. This modern fine dining experience includes a unique pastry library where diners can interact with the pastry chef. Some of the dishes that you might savour here include langoustines with vanilla, tamarind condiment and langoustine jus, and sea bass ‘aiguillettes’ covered with squid skin in a watercress and sorrel sauce.
One&Only The Palm is also home to Zest, an all-day Moorish-inspired dining room blending the culinary influences of the Middle East, Asia, and the West with a breezy poolside terrace location.
The unique spa
With nine private treatment suites, all with outdoor relaxation areas and an adults-only pool beside which you can take a private yoga or Pilates class, the UAE’s only Guerlain Spa is no ordinary wellness complex. Its exclusive One&Only rituals blend nearly two centuries of Guerlain’s scientific research and product innovation with Arabian traditions; don’t miss the 4-Hand Imperial Massage, the Guerlain Super Active Facials, and the Moroccan hammam hosting three exclusive House of Guerlain experiences. These are the Désert d’Orient traditional bathing ritual, the Solar Evasion experience, and the tension-relieving Dubai Harmony massage ceremony.
The unforgettable experiences
Hot air balloon rides over the desert, falconry sessions, guided wildlife drives in a vintage Range Rover, and gourmet Arabian breakfasts are among the ‘At One with Nature’ experiences offered by One&Only The Palm’s concierge service. There are also full-day 4x4 desert safaris, camel rides, and sand surfing excursions. For something closer to home, hop aboard one of the hotel’s boat shuttles to The Palm’s sister resort One&Only Royal Mirage, to enjoy water sports including canoeing and paddle boarding on the private beach.
