The house
MarriottPalatial beachfront resort
Courtyards with cooling fountains and lobby pearl chandeliers give this beachfront stay the presence of an Arabian palace.
What it’s good at
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
On the Ajman Corniche in Al Nakhil 2, steps from the promenade and the beach.
The rooms
Every room opens onto a private balcony, looking out over either the Arabian Gulf or the creek.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Palm trees shade the outdoor pool overlooking the Arabian Gulf, and children have their own shallow splash pool.
The spa and gym
Private treatment rooms face the sea for chakra-balancing therapies, and the mezzanine level houses a 24-hour gym.
Vista All Day Dining Restaurant
Chefs work at live cooking stations in the geometric-tiled dining room, which opens onto a beachfront terrace.
At the table
Escape serves drinks in an equestrian-themed lounge, and Bab Al Bahr hosts evening DJ sets right on the beach.

Our shorthand
How we rate hotels.
The medals

Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.

Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
Bronze
They did this well. You’ll notice.
Listed
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
