Situated where dunes meet skyscrapers and tradition meets modernity, Dubai is an emirate that dazzles. It’s a state that deals in superlatives, whether that’s the finest hotels, the hottest restaurants, or the most relaxing spas. And Sofitel Dubai The Palm is the perfect base from which to explore it all. The resort’s design adds a touch of French elegance to the already excellent Arabic hospitality. Factor in the turquoise Arabian Gulf on one side and the glittering skyline on the other and you’ve got ample camera fodder – or simply the perfect place to unwind.
