This Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star gem doesn’t merely sparkle because of its private beach and spectacular views of the city skyline, it also impresses with what’s inside;
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on the trunk of Palm Jumeirah, the resort sits steps from the West Beach promenade and Nakheel Mall.
The rooms
Private balconies overlook the Dubai Marina skyline, while interiors blend Arabian motifs with marble bathrooms and deep soaking tubs.
The pools and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Loungers edge the temperature-controlled outdoor pools, and the health club offers submerged Aquaspin classes alongside garden treadmills.
The spa
Curved plaster arches lead to treatment suites looking over Dubai Marina, offering Shiffa Dubai bodywork and thermal hammams.
Restaurant
Flow Kitchen
Global buffet spreads anchor this all-day dining room, which opens out onto a pergola-shaded garden terrace.
Though the airport and city highlights are all a quick drive away, the Fairmont feels like a true getaway thanks to its setting on Palm Jumeirah island.
At the table
Evenings bring tableside carvings at Brazilian churrascaria Frevo, colorful regional Indian fare, and an intimate cigar lounge.
How it began
Opening in 2012 along the Palm trunk, the resort helped establish the island as a bustling beachfront hub.
