One&Only Royal Mirage

Dubai Marina & Palm Jumeirah


Not the newest resort but still a class act all around, the Royal Mirage consists of the Moorish-style Palace, the romantic Arabian Court and the ultra-discreet Residence & Spa hideaway. All are cocooned by richly landscaped gardens and flanked by a 1km-long sandy beach. Opulently furnished rooms with patios face the sea and are sheathed in soothing natural shades.

A boat shuttle departs hourly to the even-more-luxe sister hotel One&Only The Palm on Palm Jumeirah. Check the website for money-saving packages.
