Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort

Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort is perched on the eastern crescent of the iconic Palm Jumeirah, overlooking the Arabian Gulf. It sits serenely on a 400-metre stretch of private beach, yet isn’t far away from the airport as well as many of Dubai’s landmark attractions, such as the Aquaventure Waterpark, the marina, the Mall of the Emirates and Ski Dubai.

From gorgeous rooms by the lagoons to villas by the beach or perched above the azure sea looking out over the Gulf, you are spoilt for choice. The spacious and elegant interiors have plenty of Thai touches and modern luxuries at every turn, while floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies or terraces make the most of the views and the setting, with direct access to the lagoons or the beach.

Added extras in the villas include glass floors, private infinity pools and oversized soaking tubs, as well as the services of your very own Villa Host, so why not splash out – this is Dubai, after all…

As with everything else at this resort, the food is irresistible, and is a fusion of the best on offer from Asia and Mediterranean – enjoy gourmet Asian cuisine at Mekong, or sample sun-kissed Mediterranean fare at The Beach House. Have a cocktail by the pool at the Mai Bar, which also has a swim-up bar if you don’t want to interrupt your swim for a drink.

Join a Thai cooking class to take the secrets of the chefs home with you, or celebrate a special occasion with Anantara’s Dining by Design service, by creating your own bespoke dining experience with a personal chef in a perfect, memorable location. 

There are excellent gym facilities if you want to work off all that delicious food, and a blissful spa to unwind in, complete with a hammam, saunas, pools and even an ice grotto.

From relaxing on the beach to playing tennis, swimming in the infinity pool or one of the inviting lagoons and enjoying a range of water sports, as well as heading out in a longtail boat in traditional Thai style, there is something for every guest, whether you want to chill out or be active on your Dubai holiday.

If you are travelling with the family to Dubai, the kids and teens clubs will keep the children happy and occupied whatever their age.
