Forbes Four-Star
Forbes Travel Guide

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
With a predominantly Thai staff and Thai-inspired architecture and design, it has a very calm, spa-like vibe.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tucked along Palm Jumeirah's outer East Crescent, the tranquil shoreline offers open Arabian Gulf waters and views toward the Dubai Marina skyline.
The rooms
Overwater villas feature glass viewing panels cut into hardwood floors, while ground-floor rooms offer direct swim-out access into winding lagoons.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three temperature-controlled lagoons wind past the villas, and a 50-metre beachfront infinity pool holds a swim-up pagoda bar.
The spa and hammams
Ottoman hammams center on heated marble slabs, and dedicated treatment suites look out across the turquoise lagoons.
Restaurant
Crescendo
This poolside dining room serves global buffet dishes from live tandoor and charcoal grill stations.
At the table
Mekong serves Pan-Asian recipes in rickshaw booths, and The Beach House pours cocktails over the sunset terrace.
