One&Only Royal Mirage Hotel, Dubai
Expert reviews
“The most romantic resort in Dubai, this hotel has four different hotels to choose from; while they differ in appearance and amenities, they are all tranquil, private, and spacious.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Dubai.
“Guests at The Royal Mirage have included Michael Jackson and David Beckham, who’ve slept within the Arabian architecture, immaculately cultivated palm tree gardens and probably lounged on the crisp white beachside cabanas.”
“One&Only Royal Mirage resembles an Arabian palace. Nestled among 65 acres of palm-tree-filled gardens and sparkling pools, the Jumeirah Beach resort enchants with touches like ornamental arches and Moroccan lanterns.”
“The One&Only Royal Mirage is a romantic beachfront resort made up of three properties – the regal Arabian Court, the Moorish-style Palace and the intimate Residence & Spa. Guests can expect sea-facing rooms, abundant gardens, a lavish spa and some of the city’s best restaurants.”

Wonderful hotel and incredible staff
Everything - the room were spacious and well designed - always cleaned and everything was working perfectly. The staff was absolutely incredible - especially with our baby. The pools are wonderful and the activities offered around are also a nice touch. Finally, the food was incredible and the service in each restaurant was brilliant! A special thank you to Nirmal who have been absolutely incredible with us during our stay.

Incredible stay in Dubai, beautiful hotel
Amazing staff, everyone very friendly and helpful. Amazing food at the restaurants for breakfast and dinner, the pool was beautiful and really nice that people came round with eg watermelon. Made it very easy to be on holiday with a baby, everything was fantastic.
Nothing, some drinks a bit expensive that’s all

Would return a beautiful property
Grounds and pool areas absolutely stunning. Gorgeous beachfront too
Rooms very old & dated. Spotless room with all the amenities you need but old fashioned now cold tiled floors.

They helped me arrange my engagement and couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating.
Beautiful pool setting, staff very helpful and polite. Rooms are amazing
The only negative I ever have when I stay here is the breakfast. The quality, choice and service is a few levels below everything else that the hotel offers. Nowhere near bad enough to stop me coming here though

A perfect paradise between the marina and the palm
The staff were so attentive to our every need. They made all our bookings seamless and made us feel that our experience at The Mirage was genuinely important to them. We couldn't have been better looked after.
The prices of the food and drinks at the resort were extortionate. We paid £7/8 for a 330ml bottle of coke zero. Alcohol was around £20 for a glass of wine which made it very difficult to order a round of drinks for 4 people without spending close to £100 at a time.

I had already stayed at this hotel in 2009, and I'm back in 2025. After having stayed at many hotels in Dubai, I think the One&Only Royal Mirage will remain my favorite; I'll only return to this one. A huge thank you to Sama, who took extremely good care of us, to all the staff at the kids' club, who are incredible and gave us a wonderful Halloween! And a huge thank you to the valets; they are all lovely. All the hotel staff are amazing, whether at the pool, the spa or in the restaurants! I 100% recommend this hotel; the services are top-notch, and thanks to the entire team, we had an incredible stay. Thank you! 🤩

Great location. Is near a tram station (if this is desired!) - and also very close to the palm monorail which we used to attend the Atlantis waterpark which was included as part of our room rate. Staff were all wonderful. Half board meal options were decent sized. Buffet breakfasts were all exceptional! Restaurants were all proactive in addressing my dietary allergy and were very helpful in accommodating this.
Water not being included in the half board at dinner- we weren't expecting this not to be included, and the price was expensive.

Beautiful hotel if you can afford it.
Stunning property
I made a mistake with booking online and booked UAE resident which I wasn’t aware of until check in and told by reception could be an additional cost of 20% cost but was more than double. I did receive a small refund however the cost to stay was a lot more than what was online. A lessened learnt to me about checking everything you book very carefully. Accomodation was amazing however for what it cost I would have chosen another hotel.

Good but should improve.
Green area and next to the beach. Small hotel compared to the really big ones.
Beach view is packed with new builds. Breakfast very loud due to poor parenting from the guests. Room was in principle fine but one can hear absolutely everything from the hallway.

Book a stay here if you value excellent customer service
Customer service from the buggy drivers to reception, housekeeping and in the restaurants is top notch. Beautiful and clean space and surroundings. Good variety of food options at breakfast and dinner buffet.
The location is approx 30mins drive from downtown Dubai.

The facilities were great for us and the kids. So much to do, pools, mini golf, table tennis, small arcade, tennis courts and a basketball ring. There is always something to do. The staff were always assisting in any requests we had. They made it extra special as we were celebrating my husband's birthday, sons birthday and 20yr anniversary . The hotel spans across multiple "sites" we were at Arabian Court, you can take the buggy to the Palace which is larger and still use the facilities. The gym was great too. Thr hotel was squeaky clean too, literally walking and your shoes would squeak. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!
The only thing was the pillow was super thin (we should have asked for thicker ones)

A truly beautiful experience stay at One&Only Royal Mirage, Dubai I traveled alone and felt completely looked after from start to finish. Concierge Amal was outstanding - proactive, thoughtful, and always one step ahead with spot-on recommendations and seamless arrangements. Manager Willy set the tone for the entire stay with his calm, attentive leadership and genuine care; you feel it in every interaction. The staff of in room dining were amazing as well. The rooms are elegant and comfortable, the ambience serene, and service consistently precise. I left recharged and impressed - highly recommended, especially for solo travelers seeking effortless luxury.

Our second visit this year in this amazing hotel. It started a little off with some logistic issues, after talking to one of the managers (Willy) everything was sorted out with extreme professionalism. We are coming both for business and leisure and this is the best quality/value/service/accommodation there is in Dubai. Coming back next month!

Voyage de rêve
The room was really comfortable and pleasant. Shakil was incredibly kind and attentive throughout my stay. The cleaning was excellent, and every evening my room was perfectly prepared, so I could go to bed feeling completely relaxed. The hotel itself is a beautiful haven of peace, and all the staff are exceptionally attentive and caring towards the guests. I highly recommend it!

Don’t book twin share if you’re 2 adults travelling
Love the location and the pool area is beautiful and relaxing
Booked a twin room expecting twin double beds but the room had twin single beds . Ok for children but terrible for adults. Didn’t sleep well for fear of rolling of the bed turning over. Felt like we were on ironing boards they weee that narrow .

The staff at the hotel cannot do enough for you! The best service I have ever received, and I lived in Dubai for 16 year
The traditional feel of the hotel mixed with modern. Perfectly located and there is everything on site you would require.

Stunning hotel. Few tweaks needed
Stunning property, immaculately maintained. Excellent, attentive staff and good location.
Impossible to find an available sun bed in the afternoon despite many clearly being unused, this is as much guest responsibility as the hotels to ensure towels are removed when no longer needed. Disappointed to be charged 40AED (£8) for a bottle of water at dinner. Of course you expect to pay premium rates at this hotel, but water is provided free of charge at the pool so why so much at dinner? We needed one bottle each, so for a large family like mine, it was a very unwelcome additional expense. Staff worked extremely hard but there were too few at the Rotisserie restaurant and service suffered as a result.
