Nestled between the timeless desert and cosmopolitan Dubai, experience the romance and majesty of Old Arabia at One&Only Royal Mirage, Dubai this season.

 

This mesmerizing and luxurious oasis pays tribute to Arabian architecture and hospitality on a truly regal scale; resembling a sheikh's royal palace where the past meets the present.

 

Amid intricate arches, domes, towers and courtyards on its own private beachfront, the unique destination blends fantasy with tradition - bringing alive Steven Spielberg's new 3D adaptation of Hergé's classic cartoon The Adventures of Tintin.

 

This stylish oasis is set amid 65 acres of lush green lawns and immaculate gardens along a kilometre of private beachfront, conjuring the magic of Arabia through three distinct environments - The Palace, Arabian Court and Residence & Spa.

The Palace commands a regal presence along the beachfront in a tranquil haven of meandering water features with a rich roster of leisure facilities including temperature-controlled swimming pools, water sports centre, tennis courts, golf putting green, and the One&Only signature KidsOnly play centre.

 

Rooms are adorned with ornamental arches, terracotta tiling and custom-made furniture in stunning colours echoing the warmth of the Arabian Gulf, and soft tones recalling the desert landscape.

 

Each room faces the sea with private balcony or terrace, and the night comes alive with a visit to Kasbar - a multi-levelled, multi-coloured and multi-alcoved evening venue contributing Arabian glamour to the resort.

 

In the heart of the resort, Arabian Court symbolises the majesty that is One&Only Royal Mirage.

 

At first glimpse, it is illusive and mysterious; an ancient dwelling concealed behind a sheltered oasis.

 

Within, The Arabian Court's majesty unravels through intimate courtyards that lead from water to stone, from granite to wood and from the palm trees to the sea.

 

Culinary discoveries unfold from grand and intimate to lively and casual - through the eclectic and vibrant Near East to colourful Indo-European dining, modern food with an Asian twist and rooftop Oriental mezzehs.

 

Residence & Spa is an intimate sanctuary for those who wish to enjoy exclusive indulgence and belongs to the prestigious association "Leading Hotels of the World". Compounding this elegant haven, adjacent, is the Health & Beauty Institute: an oasis of wellbeing and pampering featuring a One&Only Spa and a traditional Oriental Hammam.

"We strongly believe in providing an element of theatrical drama for our visitors and it is the enthusiastic response to our property and service that bring guests back, time and time again," says Olivier Louis, General Manager, One&Only Royal Mirage.

 

While many visits incorporate One&Only Royal Mirage into one night of a three night package to Dubai, the resort also immerses guests in more extended visits.

 

A 'Royal Celebrations' package is styled for special occasions from wedding anniversaries to milestone birthdays - guaranteed to bring memories lasting a lifetime, with packages from US$10,000 for 5 nights.

 

Accommodation for five nights is in a luxurious suite including daily breakfast, four dinners for two with Sommelier wine selection, three Health & Beauty treatments per person, round trip Rolls Royce airport transfers.

 

A choice of three excursions exploring dynamic Dubai range from an exclusive Sunset Dune Dinner Safari to a heart-warming Dolphin Encounter at nearby Atlantis Aquaventure Water Park.

 

An alternative '1001 Nights' adventure brings an insight into regional local culture and traditions - discovering the traditional City of Merchants and the world's tallest building Burj Khalifa, all complimented by exotic dining.

 

On a 'Just For You' Exclusive Dune Dinner Safari, a four wheel drive vehicle takes guests into the heart of Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve for a camel ride into the sand dunes to watch the glorious sunset on traditional rugs and cushions.

 

For an authentic Arabian spa ritual, visitors indulge in The Royal Hammam experience for two - a deep cleansing using Moroccan Black soap followed by a complete body scrub, traditional body wrap and relaxing massage.

 

Suggested itineraries based on a 5 night stay for two people are detailed at: http://royalmirage.oneandonlyresorts.com/specialoffers/experiences.aspx.
