Desert Palm Resort & Hotel

Dubai


Feel the stress nibbling at your psyche evaporate the moment you step inside this luxe boutique retreat, just a short drive outside Dubai and set on a private polo estate. You can opt for either a 'palm room' with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the polo field or go for total privacy in one of the villas with a private pool.

Either way, you’ll feel quite blissed out amid copper-toned decor, fancy linens and vast green landscapes. There’s also an infinity pool, an on-site spa and a gourmet deli for picking up tasty treats to enjoy on the terrace or as a desert picnic.
