Our opinion

The One&Only Royal Mirage pays homage to age-old Arab hospitality and architecture, whilst offering stylish luxury for adults and children alike.

Hotel description

The 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, which is continued inside with the lavishly decorated public spaces that provide a testament to the rich traditions and history of the region.
The bedrooms and suites at the One&Only Royal Mirage have been beautifully furnished, with the colours of blue and yellow reflecting the Gulf and the desert. Ornamental touches bring the Arabian flavour of the resort into the rooms and sea views allow guests to really appreciate the location. The deluxe rooms sleep up to two adults and one child under sixteen, and interconnecting rooms are available with no age restrictions. Beautifully landscaped grounds lead down to the sea, scattered through with courtyards, date palms and free-form 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, a thousand metres of private beach and a Givenchy 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. Children aged from two to eleven can enjoy the KidsOnly club, which is located in a specially built fortress and where activities include football and arts and crafts. The resort has eight restaurants, including all-day dining in Olives, which serves Mediterranean dishes and has a lovely outdoor terrace for enjoying the surroundings. The One&Only Royal Mirage is a distinctive and sophisticated resort that will charm both children and adults alike.
