Set on the eastern crescent of Palm Jumeirah, the Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, The Palm Dubai is a serene island retreat that exudes luxury. Offering views of the glittering Arabian Gulf and Dubai’s impressive skyline, the resort offers the distinctive style and impeccable service for which the Taj hotel brand has become known.
During their Dubai holiday in 2025/2026, guests can begin their day with an energising session of Bihar hatha yoga, and can stay in shape at the expansive 24-hour gym. The Jiva Spa offers Ayurvedic treatments, invigorating massages and has rooms devoted to couples’ therapies. The hotel’s 230-metre private beach is complete with spacious cabanas and is backed by a large, sea-facing swimming pool – the longest on The Palm. Sporting facilities at the resort include a tennis court, kayak rental and a putting green. Dedicated areas for families include a kids’ club and soft play area, as well as a recreation room for older kids with video games and a pool table.
There are 258 elegant guestrooms, all with balconies, plush bedding and warm decorative touches such as wood panelling and linen fabric panels. The marble bathrooms all have bathtubs and high-end amenities. Even standard category rooms are spacious enough to have their own sofa and easy chair. The 67 magnificent suites provide even more luxury, some featuring private terraces and Jacuzzis, and all offering complimentary access to the exclusive Taj Club Lounge.
Dining options include inventive gourmet Indian cuisine at Varq, and classic English pub food at the friendly Roaring Rabbit restaurant. Raia is a glamourous lounge with an Andalusian aesthetic that serves Arabic dishes and offers scenic views of the Palm. Other options include an al fresco barbecue buffet next to the beach, and a bright, airy indoor restaurant serving Mediterranean food.
