Drive up the palm-lined road leading to the impressive courtyard and it won’t take you long to discover why the One&Only Royal Mirage is renowned for being one of the best resorts in Dubai. Made up of three distinct properties – The Palace, Arabian Court and The Residence & Spa – the resort is surprisingly intimate, subtly embracing the grandeur of Old Arabia with arches, lanterns and mosaics.
Why we recommend the One&Only Royal Mirage – Incredible luxury and service
What brings travellers back to this timeless property year after year? It’s the sense of calm you feel as soon as you arrive, the Arabic charm from the staff who greet you like old friends and the incredible spaces, both indoors and out. The interiors feature bronze statues, ornate mosaic tiles and warm golden décor, all of which exude timeless Arabian elegance.

Rooms and accommodation at One&Only Royal Mirage
What we love about this stylish beach resort is that it really does have something for everyone – it’s all about which of the three properties you pick. Arabian Court is great for families – there’s a number of interconnecting rooms – while adults seeking a romantic escape should check-in to The Residence & Spa.
Adorned with rich fabrics, bold colours, marble bathrooms and spacious sea-facing balconies or patios… it’s a tough job to choose just one room to call our favourite at One&Only Royal Mirage! But for true Arabian sophistication – you’re in Dubai after all – we have to go with the Executive Suite at Arabian Court. These rooms have the added bonus of being adjacent to connecting Deluxe Rooms, making them ideal for families or groups.

Eat authentic mezze dishes accompanied by refreshing cocktails at the Rooftop Bar at Arabian Court - one of the most dramatic spots to spend an evening. For outdoor lunches and drinks beside the pool, the vibrant adults-only DRIFT is the place to be.
