The rooms are bright, spacious and airy with décor that borrows from the Dubai property’s seaside location, soft beiges, creams and ivory.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched on the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, the peaceful waterfront setting frames panoramic views of the distant Dubai skyline.
The rooms
Sea-facing balconies open into airy ivory and turquoise rooms, where Italian marble bathrooms feature soaking tubs with built-in wall televisions.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
Spa and gym
Sheer curtained daybeds line the quiet relaxation lounge, and the timber-floored fitness center is equipped with cable machines.
At the table
Social serves contemporary Italian cuisine, and beachfront lounge Sunset 55 pours evening cocktails around open fire pits on the sand.
How it began
Opening in 2014 along the outer East Crescent, the palatial resort established a secluded presence on the man-made archipelago.
