We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star One&Only Royal Mirage resembles an Arabian palace. Nestled among 65 acres of palm-tree-filled gardens and sparkling pools, the Jumeirah Beach resort enchants with touches like ornamental arches and Moroccan lanterns.

Those details make for a photogenic backdrop. Snap photos of the flower-lined, narrow pool at the Residence & Spa Esplanade fronting a building with scalloped windows, or in The Palace lobby to capture the vibrantly hued domed ceiling and the towering palms underneath.

If you simply want a mesmerizing view, head to your room’s private balcony to see the Arabian Gulf’s blue staring back at you. The 452 rooms and suites hold a classic appeal, styled with custom furniture, rich fabrics and terracotta tiling.

Everywhere you turn at this resort, from the cozy wood-slatted cabanas atThe Beach Bar & Grill to the Esplanade Bar give you stunning visual.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The Dubai hotel delivers a gourmet setting for every mood and taste. From authentic Moroccan dishes served in an Old World ambience at Tagine, to a meal in a classic, brightly lit atrium at The Dining Room or Middle Eastern cuisine from a show kitchen at The Rotisserie, the dining choices are diverse.
Spend a lazy day at the chic Drift Beach Dubai, home to a picture-perfect infinity pool overlooking the resort’s beach, the city’s stunning skyline and Palm Island Bay. Enjoy Provencal dishes and sip cocktails by award-winning mixologist Eric Ballard at the club’s onsite restaurant.
For Arabian-inspired pampering, try a traditional hammam treatment at the spa. It’s delivered by masseurs from Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey in the marble hammam complete with a dome roof, tiled walls and Arabesque lamps.
A three-quarter-mile-long private beach allows you to partake in an array of water sports in the gulf without setting foot off the Dubai hotel. Try your hand at kayaking, sailing, windsurfing or waterskiing with a certified instructor, or just lounge at one of the city’s top beaches.
The fun here isn’t just for grown-ups; the KidsOnly club organizes daily supervised programs for little ones that include sand sculpting, henna painting, camping adventures and more. Two playgrounds provide plenty of opportunities for kids to burn off extra energy.
