Rixos The Palm Dubai

Set on the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, Rixos The Palm Dubai is an ultra-all-inclusive beach resort with big Arabian Gulf views and a real "switch-off" feel, even though you're still within easy reach of Dubai's top courses and attractions.

The headline is simple: you can play your golf, then properly relax. There's a 1-kilometre private beach, multiple pools and a strong line-up of restaurants and bars, so the group won't be hunting for options once you're back from the course. It's a smart pick for winter sun trips where you want a five-star base and minimal logistics.

You're close enough to tee it up at venues like Troon International without spending half the day in a taxi, but far enough away from the buzz to feel like a resort holiday, not just a city stay.

Who is this for?

Golfers, couples and groups who want an ultra-all-inclusive Dubai break with a proper beach resort feel between rounds.

Who is it best for?

Societies and small groups who like a lively choice of dining and bars, plus the reassurance of a package where most of the spending is already covered.

Accommodation at Rixos The Palm Dubai

Accommodation

Rixos The Palm Dubai offers 315 rooms and suites, each designed as a calm, stylish retreat from the energy of the city. The Deluxe and Premium Rooms are spacious and flooded with natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, with views over either the resort's lush gardens or the deep blue of the Arabian Gulf. After a morning round in the Dubai heat, you'll appreciate the cool, contemporary interiors and the space to properly unwind.

The suites collection is where the resort moves up a level. Junior and Senior Suites are ideal for couples who want that bit more room and a separate lounge area, perfect for relaxing with a coffee before heading out to the course. For families or larger groups travelling together, the Two, Three, Four and even Five Bedroom Family Suites provide genuine home-from-home comfort, with multiple bathrooms, generous living spaces and all the little touches that make a longer stay feel effortless.

At the top end, the Penthouse Suites deliver 360-degree views that take in the full sweep of The Palm and the Dubai skyline, a cracking backdrop for sundowners after your round. The Four and Five Bedroom Pool Suites go one further, adding private pools and outdoor space for laid-back, post-round evenings.

Ultra-all-inclusive covers dining and drinks across the resort, with selected in-room options depending on your room category and package. It's a setup that works brilliantly for golfers who want to focus on their game and their downtime, without worrying about the bill at the end of each day.

Food & Drink

Dining at Rixos The Palm Dubai is a standout, and with ultra-all-inclusive covering everything, you're free to explore the full range without a second thought. The resort features an impressive lineup of restaurants and bars, each with its own character and menu.

Start your day at A La Turca or Turquoise, where lavish international buffets feature live cooking stations and a spread that covers everything from traditional Turkish breakfast dishes to Western favourites. It's the kind of breakfast that sets you up properly for 18 holes in the Dubai sun.

When it comes to evening dining, the à la carte restaurants are where things step up. Toro Loco Steakhouse serves prime cuts cooked to order, rich and bold, perfect after a long day on the course. L'Olivo Ristorante offers authentic Italian and Mediterranean classics, from fresh pasta to wood-fired pizzas, in a relaxed yet refined setting. For something a bit different, Bodrum Restaurant specialises in vibrant Turkish seafood, bringing the flavours of the Aegean coast to The Palm.

Between rounds or after dinner, the resort's bars and lounges provide plenty of options. Bar1 is a lively sports bar with big screens and a great atmosphere for catching up on the day's golf or watching live sport. The Nargile Lounge offers a more tranquil vibe, ideal for a quiet drink and a shisha. If you prefer to stay poolside, the Bodrum Swim-Up Bar keeps the drinks flowing without you having to leave the water.

The beauty of the ultra-all-inclusive setup is that you can move freely between venues, trying different cuisines and atmospheres throughout your stay, all without worrying about the tab.

Leisure Facilities

When you're not on the course, Rixos The Palm Dubai offers plenty of ways to relax and recharge. The award-winning Anjana Spa is a tranquil retreat inspired by Ottoman traditions, offering everything from classic Turkish Hammam rituals to deep-tissue massages and rejuvenating facials. It's a smart way to ease any post-round stiffness and reset before the next day's golf.

For those who prefer to stay active, the Exclusive Sports Club runs a full schedule of complimentary classes you won't find at most resorts, including Aqua Fit-Mat, Kangoo Jumps and sunset yoga sessions. There are four swimming pools across the resort: a large family pool, a dedicated adults-only lap pool for serious swimmers and a children's pool. The kilometre-long private beach is the real draw, though, offering soft sand, calm waters and those panoramic views of the Dubai skyline.

Rixos The Palm Dubai works as both a golf base and a beach resort, which isn't always easy to find in Dubai. Its location on The Palm gives you that sense of secluded paradise while keeping you close to the city's main attractions and world-class courses. Whether you're spending your downtime on the beach, exploring the dining options or simply enjoying the resort's facilities, this is a base that enhances the golf rather than just supporting it.

The welcome when we arrived was very warm and friendly. We arrived hours before check-in but they quickly provided a place for us to stay and freshen up, have breakfast. There was always someone available to help with directions and questions. Our family suite was amazing and the cleaners always had a surprise decoration on the bed; heart-shaped rose petals, Loved the free minibar which was stocked up daily We had a choice of 5 restaurants and we tried all. The 2 buffet restaurants were amazing with a huge selection of dishes and the friendliest of staff. The 3 a la Carter restaurants: steak and grill,Italian,sea food, all had an amazing menu. There are 3pools which are clean and not crowded with nice deck chairs and beautiful cabanas and drinks,fruits and snacks were always available Also hotel provides a free coach to and from the mall of Emirates. We didn't have time to try the Spa. But lawn tennis court was available and fun exercise workouts by the pool. Suggestion for improvement will be to have activities for teens(there's a toddler play group but nothing for teenagers).
