Palm Jumeirah
The world's largest man-made island, and Dubai's most-visited
Shaped like a palm tree and visible from space, Palm Jumeirah is Dubai's signature island — roughly 40% of all visitors to the city set foot on it at least once. Expect private beach access, waterfront villas and apartments, and a slower, resort-like pace than the mainland.
Highlights
- Private and hotel-linked beaches along a 1.5km stretch of fine sand
- Atlantis The Palm, Aquaventure Waterpark and The Lost Chambers Aquarium
- The View at The Palm — a 52nd-floor 360° observation deck
- Over 30 five-star hotels and resorts on one island
Getting around
Connected to the mainland by the Palm Jumeirah Monorail, linking to the tram and metro network at Dubai Marina — most guests arrive by taxi or private transfer directly to their building.
