Here’s are ultimate guide to Palm West Beach
Hotels
FIVE Palm Jumeirah
FIVE Palm Jumeirah has become the poster hotel for epic partying in Dubai, from its live DJ sets at Beach by FIVE, to rooftop soirees at The Penthouse’s glass-lined pool. But there’s much more to this hotel than parties and music: the culinary array is excellent: Maiden Shanghai should be visited both for its roster of ladies’ nights and brunches as well as its elevated Chinese cuisine; while we love the pretty interiors and tasty bowls of pasta at Italian restaurant, Cinque. A collection of swimming pools, state-of-the-art gym and luxe spa all add to the appeal of this all-encompassing resort.

Fairmont The Palm
When it first opened, Fairmont The Palm was one of the only plots occupied on this stretch of sand – and its design is reflective of grand Arabian architecture. It’s got a family-friendly feel, with swimming pools set amongst palm trees, and its own stretch of private beach with loungers that quickly fill up, especially on weekends. Restaurants range from BA – Boldly Asian, to the ever-brilliant and totally beautiful Little Miss India.
Adaigo Premium The Palm
An upscale aparthotel, Adaigo Premium The Palm boasts 163 chic studios and one-bedroom apartments complete with fully-equipped kitchens, laundry facilities and free WIFI. Guests can bask in the sun on the hotel’s private beach, or make the most of one of the many restaurants, beach bars and clubs that neighbour it. There’s a community cafe, Fixie, for grabbing quick bites and coffees, plus a 24-hour gym for those looking to work out while they’re away.

February 30
Home to three distinct bars, February 30 is a welcome addition to Palm West Beach’s array of restaurants and bars.

Bali-inspired parasols and wooden double sun beds with candy striped cushions take pride of place on the sand, while palm trees have been added to the beachfront to infuse tropical vibes all the way to the sea. The man behind the menu – acclaimed chef and restauranteur Reif Othman – has married the best of Mediterranean and Japanese influences.

Para Sol by St. Regis
When The St Regis Dubai Palm opened its doors last year, it promised it would also be bringing a new beach club to Dubai. Called Para Sol, it’s found next door to Fairmont The Palm’s private stretch of beach. There’s no opening date as of yet, but when it does open Para Sol will serve as St Regis’ beach (a shuttle will provide access to guests) as well as being another option for Dubai residents.
Playa
We’re very excited to see Playa take shape, a brand new beach club opening later this month. Described as a Peruvian-inspired restaurant and beach club, guests can expect a playlist described Shamanic house, and will also be able to enjoy access to one of the only pools on Palm West Beach.

Beyond the pool, JBR and Bluewaters skylines stand pretty along the horizon, where a prime sunset view will guarantee to amaze.
