An oasis of stylish energy and tranquility, One&Only The Palm is a luxurious addition to Palm Island's impressive portfolio. Blending Moorish and Andalusian architecture with contemporary, chic interiors, guest rooms are divided between the manor house and beachfront mansions, boasting every home comfort you can think of, including luxury marble bathrooms and a private balcony or garden patio. Choose to stay steps from the sea or surrounded by lush, green gardens. As well as lazing on your own private stretch of beach in oversized day beds, you can splash about to your heart’s content in the 850 sq m swimming pool or indulge in water sports galore at its sister hotel One&Only Royal Mirage. There are also several world-class golf courses a short drive away as well as Atlantis Aquaventure, Dubai’s most popular water park. For sheer relaxation, head to the Guerlain Spa, a tranquil retreat set amidst ponds, fountains and open courtyards.

To ensure that your family enjoys its stay at One&Only The Palm there is a kid’s programme that is designed to help keep your children entertained, allowing you to make the most of the resort’s many wonderful facilities. Dining is another huge treat with three superb restaurants to choose from, all under the expert guidance of three Michelin star chef Yannick Alléno. ZEST is the main restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows and a lovely outdoor patio overlooking the pool and gardens whilst STAY by Yannick Alléno showcases traditional cooking methods reinterpreted in a contemporary way.

This was the most luxurious and relaxing place I’ve ever been. I skipped so many dinner reservations in favor of the pool and room service. Irmen, our concierge, was incredibly helpful. I’d never stay anywhere else.

My recent visit to The One and Only was truly memorable, largely thanks to the exceptional service provided by Ravi. Initially drawn in for shisha, my friends and I ended up staying longer for drinks and snacks, all because of Ravi's warm and hospitable nature. His proficiency in English greatly enhanced our experience, allowing for seamless communication. Ravi's constant smile and friendly demeanor added to the welcoming atmosphere of the place. He even thoughtfully provided us with blankets to keep us warm and made sure we had water, showcasing his attentive and considerate service. Ravi is undeniably an asset to The One and Only. His exceptional hospitality and the positive attitude he left us with made our visit extraordinary. What a great guy! Read less

This is one of the finest hotels we have ever visited. A beautiful stunning setting on the Palm, just away from the bustle of central Dubai but close enough for easy access to everything. Take a motor boat charter to explore, enjoy the food and wine or take a hotel car into the city. Our room was excellent, luxurious. But above all what makes this one of the best in the world is the staff. They are fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble for the friendliest of teams. They are special. What's also special is the 'Host' allocated to you to help you - with anything & everything. Our Host was called Noushad - he is literally the perfect host.
