The Palm Jumeirah. Just saying the name sounds like an adventure, right? This amazing man-made island is one of Dubai’s most famous spots, packed with incredible restaurants, chic beach clubs, and even skydiving. If you’re looking for a great, affordable hotel near Palm Jumeirah, Rove La Mer Beach and Rove Dubai Marina are the perfect home base.
Let’s dive into the ultimate Dubai adventure!
What’s the Big Deal About Palm Jumeirah?
It’s that iconic, palm-tree-shaped island you’ve seen in all the pictures! It’s a true Dubai must-see and an engineering marvel. Staying at a Rove hotel nearby means you’re just a short trip from its stunning mix of luxury beach clubs, beautiful homes, and world-class restaurants.
It’s home to the world’s largest water park (at Atlantis) and the world’s highest 360-degree infinity pool. Getting there is easy by car, taxi, or by hopping on the scenic Palm Monorail that runs right up the “trunk.”
Our Top 7 Things to Do on Palm Jumeirah
1. Stroll, Eat, and Vibe at Palm West Beach
This is the place to be for sunset. Palm West Beach is a beautiful, long promenade lined with some of Dubai’s coolest beachfront restaurants (like Koko Bay and Lucky Fish). It’s perfect for a morning run, a lazy afternoon with your toes in the sand, or grabbing dinner as you watch the sunset over the Dubai Marina skyline.
2. See It All from The View at The Palm
If you want that jaw-dropping, 360-degree view of the Palm’s “fronds,” this is it. Located 240-metres up on level 52 of the Palm Tower, The View gives you an incredible, unobstructed look at the entire island, the Dubai skyline, and the Arabian Gulf. For an extra thrill, check out ‘The Next Level,’ an even higher viewing spot.
3. Swim in the Sky at AURA Skypool
Ready for the ultimate Instagram shot? AURA is the world’s highest 360-degree infinity pool, floating on the 50th floor of the same tower as The View. You can book a spot to swim, lounge, and soak in the unbelievable panoramic views. It’s a true “pinch-me” kind of Dubai experience.
4. Get Your Adrenaline Fix with Skydive Dubai
If seeing the Palm from a building isn’t enough, how about seeing it while free-falling? Skydive Dubai offers the tandem jump of a lifetime right over the island. It’s a truly unforgettable experience, and the expert instructors make sure you’re safe and (mostly) calm from start to finish. Not for the faint of heart, but 100% worth it.
5. Shop and Snack at Nakheel Mall
Need a break from the sun? Nakheel Mall is right at the base of the Palm and has over 300 shops, from big brands to local labels. The real highlight for foodies is the Depachika Food Hall—a unique gourmet market with everything from Greek food to Japanese ice cream, amazing cheeses, and Arabic sweets.
6. Hit the Water with SeaYou
You can’t go to an island and not get in the water! SeaYou offers everything from paddleboarding and kayaking to windsurfing. It’s a super fun way to see the Palm’s crescent from a different angle and get a little exercise in. They offer lessons, too, so it’s perfect for everyone, from beginners to pros.
7. Experience a World-Class Beach Club
The Palm is famous for its beach clubs. This is the perfect way to spend a day lounging, listening to great music, and enjoying fantastic food by the sea. While White Beach at Atlantis is a stunning classic, you’re spoiled for choice with spots like KYMA Beach, Nobu by the Beach, and all the new hotspots at Atlantis The Royal.
