Rixos The Palm Hotel & Suites - Ultra All Inclusive

The East Crescent puts the Palm's best beach life right outside your door. Views stretch across the Arabian Gulf, the Palm's lagoons, and the Dubai Marina skyline. With everything included, most days revolve around the private beach and pools. When you're ready to explore, Aquaventure is a short drive along the crescent. The Mall of the Emirates is about a 20-minute drive, and Downtown is about a 30-minute drive.

Rixos brings its signature ultra all-inclusive concept to the Palm, including meals, more than 100 international drink brands, a daily restocked minibar, non-motorised water sports, and live music almost every night. Add warm Turkish hospitality, and it's easy to switch off completely.

Rooms are generous at 53 square metres, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the gardens or the sea. Wellness Rooms open straight onto the lap pool and the beach, with their own garden and plunge pool. At the top end, the four- and five-bedroom suites sleep up to eight and offer private pools and sea views, while the King Suite offers panoramic views across the Gulf. Two- and three-bedroom family suites and a kids' club with its own cinema make it easy to travel together.

Dining is generous and varied, from Turkish grills at the signature buffet to elegant Italian at L'Olivo, Mediterranean-Oriental seafood at Bodrum and prime cuts at Toro Loco, the Spanish steakhouse, with the à la carte restaurants open to guests staying four nights or more. Days drift into evenings at the swim-up bar, beachside lounge, and shisha lounge.

The Turkish-inspired Anjana Spa draws on signature rituals dating back to the Ottoman Empire, and the hotel includes a traditional hammam, sauna, and steam room in the stay. Fitness masterclasses, a beach jungle gym and a semi-Olympic lap pool keep active guests busy.
