Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort

What the classifiers highlight

The resort leans into a Southeast Asian fishing village theme, with meandering lagoons, colourful tuk-tuks and a traditional longtail boat. Its 293 rooms and villas include the only overwater villas in the UAE, some with glass floor panels. Seven restaurants and three lagoon pools surround the Anantara Spa, pairing Thai treatments with Arabian touches.
