Stepping into the palatial lobby of One&Only The Palm feels like entering a stylish haven painted in white, ivory, cream and gold. Intricate latticed arches, floral motifs on the marble floor, elegant glass chandeliers with arabesque patterns and brass lanterns illuminating the already brightly lit space complete the scene. An Andalusian fountain lends a sense of calm and stokes the imagination with visions of a romantic, candlelit evening.
Located on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah, this beautiful beachfront resort boasts a luxurious and tranquil setting that, while inspired by Moorish and Andalusian heritage, never fails to convey a deep sense of place in the Middle East.
