One&Only Royal Mirage Hotel, Dubai
The One&Only Royal Mirage in Dubai is an expansive, regal sanctuary that feels less like a hotel and more like a collection of traditional Arabian palaces. Opened in 1999, the resort is split into three distinct environments—The Palace, Arabian Court, and the Residence & Spa—all set within 65 acres of lush, manicured gardens along a kilometer of private coastline.
The architecture is a masterclass in tribute to regional heritage, featuring intricate Moorish arches, hand-painted domes, and decorative mosaic tilework. Interior spaces are finished with fine materials, including rich Crema Marfil and Rojo Alicante marbles. The entire layout is designed to mirror an ancient desert oasis, complete with meandering water features, torchlit pathways, and serene, secluded courtyards.
A standout feature is the resort’s dedicated focus on traditional wellness. It houses an authentic Oriental Hammam, where guests can experience ancient steam-based cleansing rituals that are deeply rooted in Middle Eastern culture. This, paired with the resort’s commitment to old-world hospitality, creates a distinct atmosphere of quiet opulence.
The location is exceptionally convenient for those who want to balance relaxation with exploration. It sits at the entrance of the Palm Jumeirah, providing quick access to major landmarks like the Dubai Marina, the Emirates Golf Club, and the vibrant “The Walk” at Jumeirah Beach Residence. Whether you are looking to skydive over the Palm or visit nearby high-end malls, the resort serves as a perfect, tranquil base.
Expert reviews
“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.”
“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.
“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.”

We spent our wedding anniversay at this beautiful hotel and had the absolute best time. The room as just WOW and all members of the staff were very attentive and friendly. There was not ONE thing I would've changed, everything was perfect!

It’s a hotel in which you can truly relax on
That you are in the middle of Dubai yet you feel like you are in the jungle . Very peaceful.
I like it all, it is one of my favourite hotels in Dubai.

Relaxing and family oriented
The staff truly made our stay exceptional — warm, attentive, and always on hand without being intrusive. The overall atmosphere of the resort is wonderfully relaxing, and we genuinely had a great time from start to finish. The food, while not extensive in choice, was consistently of good quality, which suited us perfectly. We left already hoping to return!
The hotel is showing its age in places, and a little refurbishment in some areas would go a long way. The dining options feel somewhat limited, and our dinner at the Eauzone restaurant, while pleasant, did not quite live up to expectations — nothing on the menu or in the experience particularly stood out.

Absolutely the most stunning hotel in Dubai!
From the moment you arrive, you are treated like family. The staff are exceptional ,warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making every guest feel special. The interiors are truly one of a kind, unlike anything else you will find anywhere in the UAE. Every corner of the hotel is beautifully designed and full of character.
Thank you for making my family and me feel so welcome and cared for throughout our stay. This hotel is truly one of a kind and an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to return!
The beach floor and view not that amazing due to the construction around the beach

An exceptional stay, outstanding value and flawless hospitality.
We stayed in March during the period of regional tension with Iran, which made this a rather unique experience. The rates were exceptionally low, the resort felt pleasantly uncrowded, and the service was outstanding. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, restaurants were easily accessible with no wait, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxed. The rooms are beautifully designed, a refined Arabic style with a modern touch, and the grounds are simply stunning. It is probably not a typical scenario, but for us it was close to perfect, genuinely hard to find any faults.
Nothing significant to mention. Given the circumstances, everything exceeded expectations.

Relaxing, perfect and lovely hotel
The staff were incredible with my daughter and so friendly and attentative. The food was amazing and the room was clean and comfortable.
The only thing that I would say I was disappointed with is that I had to call house keeping each day to come and clean the room as it wasn’t done. And this would be at about 3 o’clock.

Spectacular, best hotel ever!
Everything! We don’t think any hotel will ever top this one. From start to finish we were treated like royalty. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Room was amazing and the food was 10 out of 10. As Dubai residents we really appreciated how well we were looked after 🙂

again again and again
I have to say the staff is truly exceptional. Their only guarantee is to create a peaceful environment and ensure completely satisfied guests.
The facility is wonderful, especially for families with children.
In an uncertain situation in Dubai, and with the discounted prices for UAE residents, I have to say that even though it's just a few steps from home, you feel like you're hundreds of kilometers away.
The sea is stunning, the service exceptional, the greenery everywhere, and the children are happy.
Seeing the children play was truly wonderful.

Wonderful frindly stay with staff that go beyond expectation to ensure a fantastic stay for their guests.
The property is located in the heart of Dubai, between the palm and the city making it perfect for all external trips. The gardens are stunning. The pools were great with a nice variety of quieter and more child frindly options. The staff were superb especially at Olive. Food was great and the rooms very comfortable and clean.
The beach, sadly the marina has ruined the beach front as the property is now surrounded by sky scrapers 360degrees. The sand was nice but eh water dirty with motor oils and pollution.
