Description
Opposite Palm Island on the golden sands of Jumeirah beach, the One&Only Royal Mirage is one of the few hotels in Dubai that has a truly Arabian feel.
The hotel’s three sections, the Palace, the Arabian Court, and the Residence and Spa feel like three smaller hotels, yet have the facilities and advantages of a much larger property. The food and service are exemplary and the style opulent and luxurious, making the Royal Mirage one of our favourite properties in Dubai. The hotel’s hammam and spa are a destination in their own right.
N.B. Dubai is a developing destination and building work is ongoing through the city. As such, guests should be aware they are more than likely to be able to view some sort of work from their hotel. However, the hotel continues to operate at a very high occupancy with a large number of repeat guests not being perturbed by the local works.
If you are returning to Dubai, please be aware that surroundings are likely to have changed since your last visit.

When to travel
The best time to visit the UAE is between October and November and then February and March, when temperatures hang around the mid-20s and the humidity is under control. While December and January are generally considered the best months to go, the weather over the last couple of ‘winters’ has been unpredictable with occasional cloud and rain.
The month of Ramadan means hotel rates are heavily discounted, but while outside the resort, Ramadan is strictly adhered to, within the resorts you will notice very little difference.
High summer (July and August) means heavy discounted hotels it’s a great option for a cheap getaway but it will be very very hot and very very humid!
