The Royal Jasmine suites offer exclusive and distinctive service and facilities, including butler service on request, use of the Royal Jasmine Lounge and a private breakfast venue. The extensive range of facilities of the larger Jebel Ali Resort can be taken advantage of by guests of the Palm Tree Court & Spa, including a private 80-berth marina that is located by the resort’s sports centre, where boats can be hired for sailing and deep-sea fishing trips. This is also the only resort in the region that has its own modern riding stables and qualified instructors are available for lessons and rides through the desert. Guests can also make use of the 9-hole, par-36 golf course, whose saltwater lake feature makes it a challenging course.
