Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort occupies the eastern crescent of Palm Jumeirah, with a beach facing the Arabian Gulf and low-rise buildings arranged around swimming lagoons. Thai architectural influences give the resort a recognisable identity, from steeply pitched roofs to the arrangement of gardens and water. The atmosphere is shaped by outdoor living, with several ways to spend time beside or above the water. Rooms offer balconies or terraces, and selected categories provide direct access to a lagoon. Beach pool villas add private swimming space, while overwater villas extend the accommodation out over the Gulf. Apartments provide another option for longer or family stays. The spa includes hammam facilities for women and men, alongside treatment rooms and wellness experiences, with a fitness centre supporting regular exercise. Dining ranges from Asian dishes at Mekong to other restaurants across the property. Kayaking, paddleboarding and children's clubs add variety to days spent around the pools or beach. The resort suits travellers who want spa time within a broader coastal holiday, with enough choice for companions to follow different routines. Its combination of lagoons, beach accommodation and overwater villas makes the relationship with water particularly distinctive.
