Palm Island Palace

Picture this: you’re stretched out on a beach towel by the sea, feeling the sun on your face as the waves lap against the shore. You listen to the trees swaying in the breeze and sip your favourite cocktail while your friends and family splash around in the water. Now, open your eyes. This home on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah is where all of that is waiting to happen.

Boasting its own private beach and cinematic views of the city, this place is the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday with all your favourite people. If somehow you’re not wowed by the grand façade, you certainly will be by the palatial interior, which comes complete with marble flooring and gorgeous, arched windows that let plenty of light into your stunning living spaces. Beat the heat with a midday snooze in your air-conditioned sleeping quarters or treat yourself to a refreshing dip in the private pool followed by an alfresco meal on the patio.

If you fancy getting out and about, you’re just a stone’s throw from the glitz and glamour of Dubai’s famous manmade island. Treat yourself to an evening meal at one of its world-class restaurants, keep little ones entertained with an action-packed day out at Aquaventure Waterpark, or stretch your legs with a gentle stroll along the coast. Needless to say, there’s something for everyone here.
