Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi
Overview
A landmark of Arabian grandeur, this iconic palace-like resort stretches across 85 hectares of lush gardens, 1.3 km of private white-sand beach, and overlooks a private marina. Designed by WATG with 114 domes and glittering interiors in marble and gold, Emirates Palace reflects the grandeur of Emirati heritage while delivering luxurious Mandarin Oriental hospitality.
With 390 rooms, 92 lavish suites, and ultra-exclusive Rulers’ Suites reserved for royalty, each accommodation offers sweeping gulf or garden views, marble bathrooms, custom furnishings, and 24-hour butler service. Many feature private balconies, lavish living space, and indulgent finishings in mother-of-pearl and silken textiles.
Iconic facilities include two vast pools – one with a lazy river, slides, and waterfalls – plus paddleboard and kayaking access to the Arabian Gulf. Spa offerings span a Moroccan hammam, heated marble caves, steam rooms, plunge pools, and bespoke treatments across two wellness centres. Dining spans 12 venues: from the Bedouin-inspired Emirati cuisine of Mezlai to Michelin-starred fine dining, beachfront grills, and golden tea rituals at Le Café. Kids are enthralled by Kids’ Palace (an aqua-fun waterpark and playground), while adults enjoy padel and beach volleyball, a full fitness centre, VIP marina access, and a wealth of conference and event spaces.
