Oyster Hotel Review

Arabian Court at One&Only Royal Mirage Dubai

Scene

Luxury hotel with Arabian design and decor, including massive lush gardens

Arabian Court is one of three hotels that makes up the One&Only Royal Mirage resort, and it's the most affordable (but still high end) of the three. The Royal Mirage property is massive, with 65-acres of palm-tree lined lush gardens and a kilometer of private beach. The hotel's lobby is made up of different sections, starting with the concierge and then another section with a large water feature lined with floating rose petals with the travel desk, and then into another section with the reception desk. The sectional design carries throughout the hotel, with the long winding hallways including several secluded spots and private outdoor terraces. This, along with the large arched walkways, Arabian lampshades, mosaic designs, and faint smell of incense create an authentic Arabic palatial atmosphere. Eauzone, with "floating" seating areas overlooking the Arabian Sea, dark lighting, and Arabian decor, offers a romantic restaurant setting in the evenings. During the day, the gardens and outdoor terraces are buzzing with guests. The relaxing and down to earth atmosphere along with luxury facilities appeals to discerning travelers, including families.

Location

Private beachfront location overlooking Jumeirah Palm Island

Arabian Court is situated within a larger hotel complex, isolated from the busy main road that runs alongside Royal Mirage. Therefore, there's little within easy walking distance, apart from the private beach access in front of the hotel; which overlooks the Jumeirah Palm islands. Nearby business districts, Media City and Internet City, are just 10 minutes by car. Downtown Dubai, however, is at least a 30-minute drive depending on traffic. JBR Beach, a public beach with loads of restaurants, take-away joints, an outdoor market, and shops is a 12-minute drive away. The Palm Jumeirah Tram Station is a five-minute walk away; so is the monorail station, which goes along the stem of Palm Jumeirah. Dubai International Airport is a 30-minute taxi ride away. The hotel offers a free shuttle service to nearby attractions including neighboring Palace Hotel, Mall of the Emirates, and Atlantis Hotel.
