Learn How We Inspect

Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star 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.

Those details make for a photogenic backdrop. Snap photos of the flower-lined, narrow pool at the Residence & Spa Esplanade fronting a building with scalloped windows, or in The Palace lobby to capture the vibrantly hued domed ceiling and the towering palms underneath.

If you simply want a mesmerizing view, head to your room’s private balcony to see the Arabian Gulf’s blue staring back at you. The 452 rooms and suites hold a classic appeal, styled with custom furniture, rich fabrics and terracotta tiling.

Everywhere you turn at this resort, from the cozy wood-slatted cabanas atThe Beach Bar & Grill to the Esplanade Bar give you stunning visual.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The Dubai hotel delivers a gourmet setting for every mood and taste. From authentic Moroccan dishes served in an Old World ambience at Tagine, to a meal in a classic, brightly lit atrium at The Dining Room or Middle Eastern cuisine from a show kitchen at The Rotisserie, the dining choices are diverse.
Spend a lazy day at the chic Drift Beach Dubai, home to a picture-perfect infinity pool overlooking the resort’s beach, the city’s stunning skyline and Palm Island Bay. Enjoy Provencal dishes and sip cocktails by award-winning mixologist Eric Ballard at the club’s onsite restaurant.
For Arabian-inspired pampering, try a traditional hammam treatment at the spa. It’s delivered by masseurs from Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey in the marble hammam complete with a dome roof, tiled walls and Arabesque lamps.
A three-quarter-mile-long private beach allows you to partake in an array of water sports in the gulf without setting foot off the Dubai hotel. Try your hand at kayaking, sailing, windsurfing or waterskiing with a certified instructor, or just lounge at one of the city’s top beaches.
The fun here isn’t just for grown-ups; the KidsOnly club organizes daily supervised programs for little ones that include sand sculpting, henna painting, camping adventures and more. Two playgrounds provide plenty of opportunities for kids to burn off extra energy.
