The demands of modern life can be overwhelming, particularly in a fast-paced city like Dubai. To escape the hustle and bustle of the city, Dubai has an exceptional range of luxury resorts with private residences designed to offer respite, calm, and indulgence. Living on a resort, residents can build a life they do not need a vacation from – a life where all needs are met and whims are fulfilled. On Palm Jumeirah, a man-made island perched on the Arabian Gulf, there is an abundance of five-star resorts with a curated selection of private residences striking an idyllic balance between nature and city, comfort and convenience.

One name synonymous with upscale comfort is the Dorchester Collection – a global luxury hotel operator with a curated selection of residences on Palm Jumeirah. One such development is the prestigious ORLA Infinity – a rare collection of just 20 duplex apartments with glittering terrace pools, a wellness spa, and the Orla Beach Club. The warm hospitality of the Dorchester Collection can also be enjoyed at AVA at Palm Jumeirah by Omniyat. Here, residents can indulge in a range of five-star amenities, including a private beach, temperature-controlled infinity pools, and an in-house spa.

Not all of Dubai’s best resorts are located on the shores of Palm Jumeirah, though. One of the world’s most unique resorts, offering a stunning blend of urban convenience with resort comfort, is the coveted One&Only Resort in One Za’abeel — a skyline-defining marvel characterised by its futuristic central cantilever. Apartments here feature exceptionally finished contemporary interiors, but what really stands out is the amenities. Residents enjoy a selection of fantastic dining and retail options, in addition to a dedicated concierge, wellness sanctuary, and a garden pool.

Whatever your preferences, these resorts are private sanctuaries in the city, empowering residents to enjoy the finer things in life.
