Opened in September 2013, the 5-star Asian inspired Anantara the Palm Dubai Resort is the newest property on the Iconic Palm Jumeirah. Located on the Eastern Crescent whether set on the beach or surrounding the pool lagoons, all the spacious rooms and villas provide an unparalleled view of the sunset over the Palm.
Accommodation
In total the Anantara Dubai the Palm features 260 Lagoon View and Access Rooms, 12 Beach Pool Villas, 18 Over Water Villas, and 3 Two Bedroom Villas. The rooms are clustered into units of 4-8, design to offer maximum privacy, with half of these having direct lagoon access.
These clusters are made up of Lagoon View rooms on the first floor and Lagoon Access on the ground floor, allowing you to jump into the pool straight from your room. The Villas are undoubtedly the most spacious option and are either situated on the Beach Front with a Private Pool and direct access to the beach or Over Water without a private pool. Both are highly recommended but the Beach Front with a Private Pool is the most deluxe, only a stone’s throw away from the beach, enjoy the view from your very own pool.
