A truly unique luxury beach resort experience awaits those who stay at Dubai’s One&Only Royal Mirage. The perfect mix of Middle Eastern tradition and modern innovation is achieved through a gorgeous layout and incredible oriental design.
Now populated with Dubai’s incredible skyscrapers, it’s hard to believe that this stretch of coastline was once home to Bedouin tribes and small fishing villages. The mystique and intrigue of these unique cultures live on in the authentic Arabian architecture of One&Only Royal Mirage.

A setting as beautiful as Palm Jumeirah Bay gives this resort an important point of difference over other luxury accommodations in the UAE while its proximity to the airport means that guests can take advantage of airport and boat transfers arranged by the hotel’s concierge.
Set on 65 acres of lush gardens at a prime beachside position, the sprawling resort is arranged into three different environments: The Palace, Arabian Court, and Residence & Spa. Be transported to a world of pure Arabian luxury and indulge in the resort’s restaurants, stunning suites, restorative spa treatments, and luxe offerings such as the exclusive Gold Club.
