Overlooking the visually arresting Palm Jumeirah, One&Only Royal Mirage is prime seaside real estate just south of restless Dubai. Here, you can relax with the rat race well out of sight.
EXPERIENCE
One&Only Royal Mirage evokes the spirit and mystique of Arabian Nights, but on a grander scale. The symmetry of its Orient-inspired architecture will captivate you, and you'll quickly adapt to its leisurely pace, in sharp contrast to the hectic, round-the-clock pace of Dubai.
The Royal Mirage comprises three distinct properties, one of which is actually a decadent hammam. Rooms here are spacious, starting at 484 sq. ft. and ranging up to over 3,000 sq. ft., and decorated with glossy wood furnishing and crisp linens.
The resort is ringed with a private stretch of beach off the Arabian Gulf, and offers a number of water activities - kayaking, windsurfing, water-skiing, and fishing, to name a few. If you'd rather stay poolside, there are several temperature-regulated pools around the resort.

LOCATION
Jumeirah is just south of Dubai and north of Palm Jumeirah. You'll recognize Palm Jumeirah from satellite shots of Dubai - the man-made island juts out into Arabian Gulf like a tropical frond you can see from space. Developing at a staggering pace, Jumeirah is quickly acquiring a high concentration of cutting-edge amenities and services. One&Only Royal Mirage is a short drive from Dubai International Airport.
