Low-rise pavilions and villas give One&Only The Palm a quieter scale than much of Dubai, set behind gardens on the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah. Moorish and Andalusian references appear in arcades, fountains and patterned screens, while rooms and suites use soft tones and generous terraces; the beachfront villas add private pools. STAY by Yannick Alléno and the overwater 101 Dining Lounge provide two sharply different settings for dinner. The Guerlain Spa, main pool and sheltered beach are arranged around courtyards planted with palms and flowering bougainvillea.
