Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, a jewel on the western crescent of The Palm, is inspired by the extravagant Ottoman Empire and is finished with breathtakingly beautiful gold fountains, crystal chandeliers, turquoise velvet lounges and hand-painted frescoes on the wall and ceilings.

With its opulent design, ornate features and exquisite interiors you will feel as if you have stepped into the fabled land of the 1001 Nights.

Guests can choose from 379 guest rooms, 26 lavish suites and 38 Royal Residences offering stunning ocean views. The Guest Rooms are large and have huge beds decorated with colourful Ottoman-inspired cushions, luxurious marble bathrooms with enormous baths carved out of white marble and views looking over the harbor or the beach.

The various suites are spectacular but the ultimate for Lux Travellers are the multi-roomed Royal Residences, which stand proudly around a magnificent lagoon pool in lush tropical gardens and feature Turki Anatolia. While the accommodation is almost too good to leave, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray has plenty to lure you outside including the outdoor infinity pool overlooking the Arabian Gulf and the beach.

Make sure you book a treatment at the Talise Ottoman Spa, the largest Spa in the Middle East with 42 stunning treatment rooms, eight hydrotherapy rooms, steam rooms, saunas, snow rooms and three Hammams discreetly hidden behind vast carved turquoise doors.

The dining is exceptional and varied with 10 restaurants to choose from including Al Nafoorah, which serves Lebanese cuisine; Amala, which delights with Indian dishes; Imperium restaurant, which showcases international cuisine with a French twist; Lalezar, Dubai’s first Anatolian restaurant; and The Rib Room Restaurant, which is a traditional British Steak Restaurant.

Spice up your evening with drinks at the beautiful Voda Bar and, for a night of music you will never forget, the MusicHall presents ten amazing live acts each and every night.
