Sofitel Dubai The Palm
Tucked away on the eastern crescent of Palm Jumeirah, Dubai’s famous man-made archipelago, Sofitel Dubai The Palm blends French flair, Polynesian aesthetics and impeccable Arabian hospitality. The luxurious resort has the feel of a private island hideout, and with 12 restaurants, bars and lounges, six sparkling pools and its own quiet stretch of beach, it has everything you need to cast yourself away.
The resort achieves that rare thing of appealing to both couples and families in equal measure. Loved-up couples will find style and seclusion among the adults-only infinity pool, private Tiki cabanas, dreamy Sofitel Spa with L’Occitane and impressive selection of softly-lit restaurants, ranging from Porterhouse Steaks & Grills to Pan-Asian Hong Loong and seafood restaurant, Moana. Families, meanwhile, will find pools with slides and waterfalls, the Amura Kids Club and a wide range of watersports, including glass-bottom kayaks, Hobie Cats, windsurfing and wakeboarding.
Accommodation ranges from elegant rooms and suites with views of the gardens or Arabian Gulf to stylish Signature Suites and even grander villas. Perfect for large families, Beach Villas come with direct beach access, three light-filled bedrooms, a private pool and jacuzzi and a stunning rooftop terrace. Lodge Villas step things up with the addition of two entertainment rooms and a private gym. Both come with 24-hour butler service.
