Our opinion
The One and Only Royal Mirage is a testament to the rich traditions and history of the region.
Hotel description
Paying homage to age-old Arab hospitality and architecture, One&Only Royal Mirage offers luxury and opulence combined with an informal and relaxed sophistication. Built on an impressively regal scale to reflect a traditional Arabian palace, the yellow domes and intricate arches of the architecture create a most magnificent first impression. This is continued inside with the lavishly decorated public spaces remaining a testament to the rich traditions and history of the region. Beautifully landscaped grounds lead to the sea, scattered through with courtyards, date palms and free-from swimming pools. Consisting of three hotels – The Palace, the Arabian Court and the Residence & Spa – One&Only Royal Mirage offers an unsurpassed range of facilities, including three tennis courts, 400 metres of private beach and a One&Only Spa. To make the most of Dubai’s excellent marine life, guests can enjoy a comprehensive selection of water sports, including snorkelling, scuba diving and deep-sea fishing. The resort has eight restaurants, including Celebrities, which offers a modern interpretation of Middle Eastern cuisine. The bedrooms and suites are beautifully furnished, with colours of blue and yellow that reflect the Gulf and the desert. Ornamental touches bring the Arabian flavour of the resort into the rooms, and sea views allow guests to enjoy the location. The three different hotels within the resort ensure that there is a great selection of rooms, with the Residence & Spa offering the most exclusive and intimate accommodation due to its small size. This is distinctive and sophisticated beach resort.
