An exclusive beachfront resort on Palm Jumeirah offering Moorish-inspired architecture, private beach, and exceptional service. The intimate property features just 90 rooms and suites.
One&Only The Palm occupies the western tip of the Palm Jumeirah's crescent, a position that sets it apart from the island's villa residences and positions it to capture panoramic views across the Arabian Gulf toward the Dubai Marina skyline. The resort is reached by a private water taxi operating from the Palm Jumeirah Gateway monorail station, reinforcing the sense of arrival that the brand's ultra-luxury positioning demands. Downtown Dubai is approximately 30 minutes by road and 40 minutes by water taxi, and the property provides transfers on request.
Designed in Moorish-Andalusian style, the low-rise buildings are finished in warm sandstone and terracotta tones, with Arabic geometric detailing on archways, timber screens, and courtyard fountains. The intimate scale — just 90 rooms and suites plus four private villas — means guests rarely encounter crowds, and the guest-to-staff ratio reflects this exclusivity. Accommodation ranges from Deluxe Rooms with garden or sea-view terraces to Grand Panoramic Suites with wrap-around balconies and private plunge pools. The four Palm Villas provide fully serviced freestanding accommodation with private pools and direct beach access.
Dining is anchored by STAY, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant helmed by a resident chef drawing on seasonal produce, and Zest, a poolside venue offering lighter Asian-influenced fare and fresh juices. The beach bar extends service into the evening. For guests choosing to explore the Palm's wider culinary scene, the hotel's boat connects to the Marina and Atlantis within minutes.
The One&Only Spa comprises treatment rooms across two floors, a hammam, an ice room, and a vitality pool. The 300-metre private beach is divided between a family zone and an adults-only section. A KIDS Only Club operates daily programmes for children aged four to twelve, catering to multi-generational families. The concierge team handles yacht charters, desert safari bookings, and helicopter transfers, making the resort a viable base for guests with wide-ranging itineraries.

Tips for visiting
- Book the water taxi transfer from the Palm Gateway in advance through the hotel — it runs on a schedule and can fill up during peak arrival periods.
- Request a room in the Sea Wing for the best unobstructed Gulf views; Garden Wing rooms are quieter but face inland.
- The STAY restaurant books up quickly on weekends; reserve your preferred dining dates before or immediately on arrival.
- November through March is the most comfortable season for beach and outdoor activities; summer rates are substantially lower but outdoor use is limited by heat and humidity.
