About One&Only The Palm
- STAY by Yannick Alléno has held a Michelin star at this address; Alléno holds three Michelin stars at Pavillon Ledoyen in Paris and is credited with developing 'extraction' as a culinary technique, concentrating flavours without heat.
- With 95 keys, One&Only The Palm is the only boutique hotel on Palm Jumeirah, a deliberate counter-programming to the mega-resort scale of Atlantis and other crescent properties; its position at the crownshaft of the West Crescent delivers a panorama of all 17 fronds.
- The resort is designed as a tri-level colonial Manor House with six flanking low-rise mansions and four freestanding beachfront villas, an architectural grammar more English country estate than Gulf resort.
History
One&Only The Palm opened on 10 October 2010 at the tip of Palm Jumeirah, offering a boutique counterpoint to the larger resorts on the Palm. Designed by DSA Architects International in a Moorish and Andalusian style, the resort comprises a tri-level Manor House, six low-rise mansions, and four standalone beachfront villas spread across manicured grounds fronting a private beach. With only 95 keys — unusually intimate for Dubai — the resort has cultivated a following among guests seeking seclusion rather than spectacle. A major summer uplift of the Manor House, mansions, and villas was completed in 2025. The property is home to STAY by Yannick Alléno, which has held a Michelin star.
The setting
One&Only The Palm is set at the crownshaft of Palm Jumeirah's West Crescent, the position that delivers the fullest panorama of the island's seventeen fronds, the Arabian Gulf stretching westward, and the Dubai Marina skyline visible to the south. AURA SKYPOOL is twenty-nine minutes by car and Aquaventure World thirty minutes; Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is one kilometre along the crescent. The resort's sixty-room low-rise format — the Palm's only boutique beachfront property — was a deliberate counter-programming to the mega-resort scale of nearby Atlantis, offering seclusion and intimacy within 40 metres of private Gulf shore.
