One&Only Royal Mirage
An ode to Bedouin hospitality and style



Despite the name, the oasis-like qualities of the Royal Mirage are most certainly not the figment of any weary desert traveller’s imagination. Palm-fringed pools and an exclusive stretch of beach looking out to the Palm provide the backdrop to One&Only’s Bedouin luxe here, spread across the three distinct "environments": The Palace, Arabian Court and Residence & Spa. Some 26 hectares of lush, manicured ground connect the plush, desert-toned rooms and suites to eight restaurants plating Indian, Moroccan and European cuisine – the rooftop terrace a particular draw offering cushioned sunset views accompanied by cocktails and mezzehs.
