Hello and welcome to One&Only Royal Mirage. Our beautiful beachfront resort is an authentic expression of Arabian hospitality and architecture, composed of three distinct environments – The Palace, Arabian Court, and the Residence & Spa. With a kilometre of private coastline and 65 acres of landscaped gardens, we’re known for world-class leisure facilities, with four swimming pools, a water sports centre, tennis courts, a golf putting green and “KidsOnly” children’s area. It’s safe to say that gourmands will also feel at home with a total of eight themed restaurants, ranging from Mediterranean fare at Olives, authentic Moroccan cuisine at Tagine, European cuisine at Celebrities, Indo-European flavours at Nina, and international cuisine with Asian Twist at Eauzone.

Why not take the kids for a visit to Aquaventure Waterpark, Atlantis The Palm? Just 10 minutes away from the resort is an adrenaline pumping experience for children – and adults too – with a variety of record-breaking rides, slides, and an opportunity to get up close and personal with sharks and rays (+971 4 4262000).

I often advise guests to take an al fresco lunch at The Beach Bar & Grill, with incredible views of the Arabian Gulf and Palm Island Bay. Surrounded by lush gardens and just metres away from the beach, this is a place where palm trees sway with the sea breeze. The mood is informal on the shaded wooden terrace and, as the waves roll in, so do the delicious platters of freshly grilled seafood, steaks and light salads.

Guests should make the most of the sunshine and relax in one of four lavish swimming pools, or simply enjoy a long walk across our private one-kilometre beachfront and explore the 65 acres of lush green landscaped gardens, winding walkways, and water displays.

I would recommend unwinding before dinner with an authentic Moroccan Oriental Hammam treatment. The Health & Beauty Institute is an “oasis of retreat” from Dubai’s daily stresses. Entering the Oriental Hammam is akin to a journey, with winding corridors, dramatic archways, intricate designs, and the sound of water that leads to the heart of Oriental Hammam itself. Between warm steam sessions, the experience includes deep cleansing with traditional black soap and a vigorous loofah body scrub. Expect a light, relaxing massage with various stretching movements to complete the experience. This is an ideal One&Only treat after a long day for you to relax and pamper yourself, along with friends or family. Within the facilities of the institute, guests should also enjoy a revitalising treatment by Carita Paris, hairstyles by Alexandre Zouari, our Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio by Bastien Gonzalez, a leading French podiatrist, or simply a One&Only Spa treatment by ESPA.

It’s time for sunset cocktails at The Jetty Lounge. Our elegant, tranquil beachside lounge is housed in chic Arabian architecture, contemporary interiors, and overlooks the pristine waters of Palm Island Bay. The Jetty offers the perfect surrounding to unwind in – a stylish yet relaxed ambience with chillout lounge music, offering a wide selection of wines, champagnes and cocktails, all complemented by light tapas-style platters. Perfect for endless long evenings on the beach, or pre-dinner drinks – definitely a must for your to-do list.

Take a boat transfer from the private Jetty at One&Only Royal Mirage to the 101 Dining Lounge and Marina at One&Only The Palm. Located at the very apex of the crescent that encircles Palm Jumeirah, this is simply Dubai’s most intimate beach resort – a chic hideaway and an elegant retreat where the world’s most discerning travellers are assured of a warm welcome, understated luxury and discrete, attentive service. The selection of three restaurants come under the culinary guidance of Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno and a recently launched Guerlain Spa completes the perfect scenario for a tranquil yet vibrant island getaway.

It’s time for drinks at 101 Dining Lounge and Marina. After a lovely gourmet experience, what better way to finish your evening?
