Explore FIVE Palm Jumeirah,
the latest addition on the man-made island
OVERVIEW
Let’s face it, FIVE Palm Jumeirah is no stranger to the
scene, in specific due to the current re-branding confusion
that places them in the hospitality industry’s spotlight – it
was formerly known as Viceroy Palm Jumeirah. When you
do manage to look past the branding, which isn’t
problematic during the visit to be honest, you can
immerse yourself in a relaxing staycation with unrivalled
views of the glistening waters, an infinity pool hailed to be
one of the city’s best, and culinary offerings that cater to
all taste buds. The minute you set eyes on the floor to
ceiling glass-frame structure, with art pieces dotted
around the venue, you instantly feel as though you’ve
been transported to a city-style paradise by the sea. And
from here on, it doesn’t disappoint.
feel like you are in a stylish home away from home.
A plush king-size bed faces the Smart TV and a vividly striking
armoire/bar, which caters to every snacking requirement,
from nutritious organic varieties to a guilty bag of caramel
popcorn for a late-night movie in bed. Enter
THE ROOM
Imagine looking out to the Arabian Gulf, Dubai Marina and
the nearly completed Dubai Eye. It immediately excites,
while the waters puts you in a state of zen, with cosy vibrant
and neutral-hue interiors making the Luxe Sea View room
