If Dubai had a royal court, One&Only Royal Mirage would host it. Think palm-lined avenues, lantern-lit courtyards, and domes catching that sunset glow—plus a full kilometre of private beach and 65 acres of lush gardens. The resort is actually three enclaves in one—The Palace, Arabian Court, and Residence & Spa—each with its own personality, all sharing the same dreamy shoreline.
WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: Time your arrival for golden hour—the sandstone façades are camera-ready without filters.
Why it’s special
- Choice of vibes: The Palace is grand and family-friendly; Arabian Court brings bold, Moorish drama; Residence & Spa is the intimate, club-style hideaway with its own pool and lounges.
- Space to breathe: 1 km private beach + temperature-controlled pools across 65 acres of gardens.
- Signature wellness: The Oriental Hammam and One&Only Spa offer traditional rituals and modern therapies.
- Dining worth the trip: From Tagine (Moroccan) to Beach Bar & Grill, Eauzone, Rotisserie, Celebrities, Jetty Lounge, and DRIFT Beach.
WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: If you want chic pool-club energy, book DRIFT Beach loungers early (16+ policy). Families should base at The Palace.
Dining at One&Only Royal Mirage (Deep Dive)
Celebrities (The Palace)
Fine dining with a polished European accent. Expect elegant plating, refined sauces, and a quiet, grown-up atmosphere. It’s your “dress-up” dinner spot, perfect for anniversaries and proposals.
WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: Ask for a table near the windows; the courtyard glow in the evening adds instant romance.
Tagine (Arabian Court)
Lantern-lit and atmospheric, Tagine champions Moroccan flavors—think slow-cooked tagines, couscous royal, aromatic pastillas, and mint tea poured high for that signature froth.
WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: Share a mezze spread and one slow-cooked lamb or vegetable tagine—portions are generous.
Beach Bar & Grill (The Palace)
Sea-breezy Mediterranean led by a culinary great. Grilled fish, bright salads, simply dressed vegetables, and that “lunch-in-a-chic-coastal-town” feeling—right in Dubai.
WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: Lunch here is unbeatable; go light on starters so you can share a whole grilled fish.
Eauzone (Arabian Court, by the pool)
Relaxed by day, sleek by night. Asian-leaning plates—fresh, fragrant, and designed for warm-weather eating. Pool-edge decks and over-water walkways make it super photogenic.
WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: Arrive just before sunset; the light over the water turns every plate into content.
The Rotisserie (Arabian Court)
The resort’s easygoing all-day option: roasts, fresh-baked breads, salads, and kid-friendly comfort hits. Great for refuels between beach and pool sessions.
WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: Breakfast here is a crowd-pleaser when you’re traveling with a mix of tastes and ages.
Jetty Lounge (The Palace beachfront)
Sundowner HQ: low sofas in the sand, chill beats, and a menu of mezze and sips. Come for sunset, stay for stargazing.
WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: Time your arrival 20–30 minutes before sunset to snag the front row.
DRIFT Beach (adjacent to The Palace; 16+)
A chic, adults-only beach club with Riviera energy—restaurant, infinity pool, and polished service. Think crudo, carpaccios, beautifully grilled mains, and a rosé-friendly menu.
WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: Book loungers and lunch together—your day flows smoother and you won’t miss prime seats.
The Courtyards (Shisha & Arabic Sweets)
Open-air majlis vibes under the stars—Arabic coffee, sweets, dates, and shisha with softly lit lanterns.
WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: Great after Tagine—move here for mint tea and dessert.
Samovar Lounge (Afternoon Tea & Light Bites)
A relaxed lounge for delicate pastries, light sandwiches, and quality teas—ideal for a cool, calm mid-day break.
WOW-Emirates Expert Tip: Pair with a spa afternoon for the most civilized day ever.
