Luxury is evident in every detail, from the lush green gardens, expansive pool and 500-metre beach overlooking the waters around the ionic palm tree-shaped island, to the opulent fixtures and furnishings inside the hotel. As well as beautiful rooms and suites, the hotel boasts fabulous dining, brilliant amenities and even a private cinema.

If you book a stay at Raffles The Palm Dubai before November 30, you’ll get Dhs150 spa credit, complimentary upgrade and breakfast for two, 24-hour Butler service as well as early check-in and late check-out (terms and conditions apply). Raffles The Palm Dubai is Raffles’ second hotel in Dubai, but its first resort in the Middle East.

For those who love their spa-time, check out the award-winning Parisian Cinq Mondes Spa, which features 23 treatment rooms, two private spa suites and an indoor swimming pool. To continue the self-love, you’ll find a fully-equipped, state-of-the-art gym, a yoga studio and two traditional hammams.

Raffles The Palm Dubai will have a number of dining concepts for you to try. These include: Matagi, serving up its signature fusion menu of Japanese and Italian food; Le Jardin offering breakfast, lunch and dinner with a lovely outdoor terrace overlooking the gardens; jazz bar SOLA; Raffles Patisserie; and beach restaurant Piatti.

There is a range of accommodation at the resort to suit every need and desire, from deluxe and premier ocean rooms to terrace rooms, suites, luxury suites and more.
