The stunning Dubai skyline looms across the Gulf, yet this romantic and megaposh gem offers a complete retreat from the city. Exuding the feel of an exclusive private estate, it has rambling gardens, several pools and Moorish-influenced suites daubed with teal and purple colour accents and outfitted with all requisite 21st-century tech touches. Privacy is key throughout.
The mainland is at least a 30-minute drive away, but there’s a free boat shuttle to the sister property One&Only Royal Mirage.
