Palm Jumeirah is a place that is hard to really understand until you are there. The scale of the artificial island shaped like a palm tree jutting into the Arabian Gulf is extraordinary when you see it in person. Living on the Palm means you get to enjoy one of Dubai’s most sought-after addresses and a unique experience of a city that does everything on a grand scale.
The Beach and the Water
One of the Palm’s most under-appreciated features is its beach access. The fronds of the Palm each have their own stretch of coastline, and the hotels dotted along them offer a mix of beach and pool facilities that are among the best in Dubai. The water is calm and the setting is attractive. The ability to walk from a hotel room to the Arabian Gulf in a matter of minutes is a luxury that not all Dubai hotels can offer.

Dining and Nightlife
The Palm has developed into one of Dubai’s best dining and entertainment destinations over the past decade. Restaurants ranging from casual beachfront spots to high-end venues with views across the Gulf line the boardwalk and the hotel strips. The best hotels on the Palm Dubai are the cornerstone of much of this food and beverage scene. Consider staying at a hotel like Dukes The Palm Dubai Hotel to get the most of a Palm Jumeirah stay.
Getting Around the Palm
The Palm Monorail connects the trunk of the island to the Atlantis at the far end, with stops along the way that make getting around straightforward without a car. The Dubai Metro’s Red Line connects the base of the Palm to the rest of the city, putting Downtown, the Marina, and the airport all within a manageable distance from the island.
