One&Only Royal Mirage

A Legendary Beachfront Oasis Celebrating the Splendour of Arabia

Resting on a kilometre of private coast overlooking The Palm and nestled within 65 acres of lush landscaped gardens, One&Only Royal Mirage in Dubai is a legendary beachfront oasis celebrating the splendour and opulence of Arabia. Arranged into three distinct environments - The Palace, Arabian Court and Residence & Spa, each complementing each other in a celebration of Arabic design, heritage and warm hospitality. The resort conjures the legends of old Arabia juxtaposed with the modern backdrop of the spectacular Dubai Marina skyline, effortlessly encompassing the traditional with the contemporary.

Drawing on the rich traditions of the region, One&Only Royal Mirage brings to life the myths of old Arabia through its architecture and design - a melody of intricate arches, domes and towers interspersed by courtyards and rich green lawns. The name ‘Royal Mirage’ comes from the age-old Arabic fable of an expedition to find the remains of the famed Palace of the Royal Mirage beneath the shifting sands of ancient Dubai. History tells the tale of a group of young Bedouins and their herd of camels, who took shelter from a fierce sandstorm for three days in a spectacular fortress, which was then lost in the desert. It was believed that one day, the fortress would rise again from the sands in all its glory, and once again travellers would arrive at its mighty gates.

A retreat resting just minutes from the buzzing city, the resort offers guests the perfect base to discover Dubai, from bespoke sunrise hot air balloon trips across the desert to boat trips chartering unseen stretches of the Arabian Gulf. Amidst lush gardens, One&Only Royal Mirage offers a range of luxury accommodation, eight restaurants including two overseen by famed chef Mauro Colagreco, The Health & Beauty Institute including the One&Only Spa, traditional Oriental Hammam, Padi:Mani:Cure Studio by Bastien Gonzalez and Zouari hair salon, four swimming pools including an adults-only pool, three floodlit tennis courts and a kilometre of private beach.
