The level of opulence at Raffles The Palm would make even Louis XIV blush. It shimmers with endless gold leaf and thousands of crystal chandeliers, found even in its lowest-category rooms – which offer 24-hour butler service and fabulous panoramas of the city and sea. It's expensive, but worth the splurge.
The Telegraph, January 2024As palatial as it gets, this resplendent hotel is like something out of a fairytale. From the arrival, which will see you surrounded by lavish cars to the majestic lobby that is simply awe-inspiring and glitzy. This is a stay guests won’t forget in a hurry.

Hotels Own Introduction
The first Raffles beach resort in the Middle East, Raffles The Palm Dubai, opened in 2021 as a 5-star haven of luxury. Featuring ornate Baroque-style architecture, the resort's design is a celebration of craftsmanship, from its remarkable collection of handcrafted furniture to its 6,000 Swarovski crystal chandeliers. Classic in style but contemporary in outlook, Raffles The Palm Dubai blends tradition with vibrant 21st-century luxury, brought to life by European artisans and masters in their fields, including our talented chefs and in-house furniture curator.
An extraordinary stay awaits in our 369-room resort, where Raffles hospitality bridges the gap between tradition and modern luxury. Guests can enjoy some of the city’s most spectacular views over The Palm and the Arabian Gulf. Conveniently located just 30 minutes from Dubai International Airport, we are also close to major retail and business hubs.
Relax and rejuvenate at our spacious spa, offering treatments inspired by time-honored rituals and featuring an array of wellness facilities. Our temperature-controlled outdoor pool is a favorite among guests, while our magnificent indoor pool, the largest on The Palm, offers a tranquil escape.
