Best Luxury Hotels in Palm Jumeirah

Perhaps one of the most famous and iconic destinations within Dubai, this manmade island plays host to some of the most luxurious hotels and restaurants in the world. A purpose-built archipelago with the sole mission to create the highest-end offering for those who dwell there and for those not staying at one of the many prestigious hotels, there are hundreds of options available to experience everything The Palm has to offer. 

To take in the whole island a walk around some (or all for the brave) of the 11km Palm Jumeriah boardwalk, hugging the Atlantic coast and dotted with street food vendors, is an absolute must. For those less hike-inclined, perhaps a visit to one of the many beaches and beach clubs that have achieved world-class status. You are truly spoilt for choice but our votes go to the ‘W’ with its iconic interiors or the beachfront gem that is Limonata. Shop till you drop at Nakheel Mall and make sure you visit the largest fountain display in the world at The Pointe, covering 14,000msq and reaching 105 metres high – things aren’t done by halves here. For the adrenalin junkies, Skydive Dubai offer skydiving experiences over The Palm or for those who prefer to be in the water than falling through the sky, water sports are plentiful and the infamous Aquaventure waterpark is ready and waiting. 

Despite its island status, access is simple be it via car and the underwater tunnel that links The Palm to the mainland or the Palm Monorail. Of course, if you want to do things in style, arrival by speedboat or yacht is the way forward.
