Experience Dubai from the comfort of a private beach at the grand Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah. Resting on the famous man-made archipelago of Palm Jumeirah, you can have a sun lounger made up at your preferred spot on the beach and watch the world go by. Around the resort, there’s an attentiveness that guests can’t help but notice, coupled with a warm friendliness that instantly makes you feel at home.

Rooms are supremely spacious, starting at a generous 55m2 with a seating area and a glamorous bathroom complete with luxury Salvatore Ferragamo toiletries. Nothing here is designed to be purely functional. King Deluxe Skyline Seaview rooms offer a look back at Dubai’s epic skyline and the pristine Arabian Gulf which fronts it. The best way to experience a stay at Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah is with exclusive Club privileges, included in Premier Rooms, Premier Suites and Waldorf Astoria Suites. As a Club guest, you’ll have access to the exclusive Waldorf Astoria Club Lounge, where selected refreshments are served all day, as well as dedicated time for cocktails, canapés and afternoon tea.

At meal times, the resort is a foodie haven. The chic poolside restaurant Palm Avenue changes its menu throughout the day with a tempting Friday Brunch to sample too. Dining at main restaurant Mezzerie offers variety with a different theme each night. Italian restaurant Social by Heinz Beck is the place to go for serious fans of Michelin-starred cuisine – it’s overseen by a three-starred chef.
