One&Only Royal Mirage - Arabian Court

A regal stop along Dubai's Palm Island Bay
VERIFIED LUXURY
Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star One&Only Royal Mirage resembles an Arabian palace. Nestled among 65 acres of palm-tree-filled gardens and sparkling pools, the Jumeirah Beach resort enchants with touches like ornamental arches and Moroccan lanterns.

Those details make for a photogenic backdrop. Snap photos of the flower-lined, narrow pool at the Residence & Spa Esplanade fronting a building with scalloped windows, or in The Palace lobby to capture the vibrantly hued domed ceiling and the towering palms underneath.

If you simply want a mesmerizing view, head to your room’s private balcony to see the Arabian Gulf’s blue staring back at you. The 452 rooms and suites hold a classic appeal, styled with custom furniture, rich fabrics and terracotta tiling.

Everywhere you turn at this resort, from the beach cabanas at The Beach Bar & Grill to the Esplanade Bar, gives you a stunning view.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • The Dubai hotel delivers a gourmet setting for every mood and taste. From authentic Moroccan dishes served in an Old World ambience at Tagine, to a meal in a classic, brightly lit atrium at The Dining Room (exclusive for guests of The Residence) or Middle Eastern cuisine from a show kitchen at The Rotisserie, the dining choices are diverse.
  • Spend a lazy day at the chic Drift Beach Dubai, home to a picture-perfect infinity pool overlooking the resort’s beach, the city’s stunning skyline and Palm Island Bay. Enjoy Provencal dishes and sip cocktails by award-winning mixologist Eric Ballard at the club’s onsite restaurant.
  • For Arabian-inspired pampering, try a traditional hammam treatment at the spa. It’s delivered by masseurs from Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey in the marble hammam complete with a dome roof, tiled walls and Arabesque lamps.
  • A three-quarter-mile-long private beach allows you to partake in an array of water sports in the Gulf without setting foot off the Dubai hotel. Try your hand at kayaking, sailing, windsurfing or waterskiing with a certified instructor, or just lounge at one of the city’s top beaches.
  • The fun here isn’t just for grown-ups; the KidsOnly club organizes daily supervised programs for little ones that include sand sculpting, henna painting, camping adventures and more. Two playgrounds provide plenty of opportunities for kids to burn off extra energy. Teens will love hanging out at OneTribe. 

Things to Know

  • There are four temperature-controlled pools within the landscaped grounds of the property, including two adults-only options for those looking for a little extra quiet time.
  • Accommodations are spread across three distinct buildings at this property: the contemporary Palace, the ornate Arabian Court and The Residence. 
  • Upgrade to a Gold Room to get access to a lounge that serves complimentary tea and cocktails.

The Rooms

  • Though contemporary in style, accommodations in The Palace still evoke Old World Arabia, with opulent furnishings in cream and gold, accented by turquoise, olive, rust and ochre. Carved arches, vibrant mosaics, ornate mirrors, dark wood finishes and Arabesque lamps add a strong sense of place.
  • Featuring a more neutral color palette and earthy materials, the 167 rooms and suites in the Arabian Court offer carved wooden headboards, colorful mosaics and dramatic artwork.
  • The most exclusive of the Dubai resort’s accommodations, the Residence & Spa’s 52 rooms and suites start at a spacious 624 square feet, complemented by dedicated staff and access to a private pool dotted with gazebos.
  • Luxurious bathrooms feature twin vanities, walk-in showers and separate soaking tubs.
  • No matter which room category you book, you’ll enjoy a prime perk: a sea-facing, furnished balcony overlooking the resort’s lush, manicured lawns.

The Restaurants

  • For casual dining, visit Mediterranean restaurant Olives for offerings such as pizza frutti di mare and other seafood specialties on a bougainvillea-covered terrace overlooking the pool.
  • Dinner and a show can be had at The Rotisserie, where you can watch chefs prepare Middle Eastern favorites alongside northern European dishes from the open kitchen. Dine inside beneath high ceilings, copper chimneys and cast-iron ovens, or outside in the garden-facing courtyard.
  • Dining options span the resort, from Indian flavors at Trèsind and Viva La Goa to beachfront dining with an Asian flair at Eauzone, and Moroccan classics at Tagine.
  • For cocktails, head to the beachfront Jetty Lounge for sundowners, light bites and lounge music with skyline views. Or visit the Rooftop Terrace and Sports Lounge for mezze and drinks under the stars while watching live sports.
