The recent opening of Anantara Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa is the fifth Anantara property to debut in the United Arab Emirates. The new resort offers 293 rooms and a variety of accommodation types, including one- and two-bedroom beach pool villas with private infinity pools that overlook the lagoon or The Palm. It also introduces the Middle East’s first over-water villas.
Bringing elements of its Thai heritage to Dubai, the resort blends local character with familiar Anantara features. Tuk-tuks shuttle guests around the grounds, while floating market-style boats navigate the lagoon pools to serve cocktails and refreshments. The resort’s lobby includes a Dubai heritage corner showcasing indigenous artifacts, creating a connection between the destination and the brand’s origins.
Designed for leisure and relaxation, the resort emphasizes water-front living and thoughtful amenities. The beach villas and over-water suites create private retreats with direct access to scenic views and calming waters, while resort facilities aim to cater to couples, families and travelers seeking an upscale escape on The Palm.
Dining and leisure options reflect a mix of regional and international influences, often presented in relaxed, open-air settings around the lagoon and beachfront. Guests can expect curated food and beverage experiences that pair local flavors with global cuisine, alongside poolside service and specialty venues that highlight the resort’s striking waterside location.
Beyond accommodation and dining, the resort offers spa treatments, leisure activities and family-friendly programming, designed to make the most of its Palm Jumeirah setting. Recreational options and thoughtfully planned public spaces encourage relaxation and exploration, whether guests spend their days at the beach, by the pool, or enjoying a sunset over the lagoon.
With its mix of traditional touches and contemporary resort design, Anantara Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa aims to provide an immersive, tranquil stay on one of Dubai’s most iconic developments. The property adds to Anantara’s presence in the U.A.E., offering travelers another upscale option for experiencing Dubai’s coastal luxury and cultural influences.
