Desert Palm Dubai

The sophisticated, boutique-styled Desert Palm by Per AQUUM provides the ideal location for guests looking for something very different in Dubai. Set in a private polo estate, the Desert Palm is the proud host of the Cartier International Polo Challenge. Guests can experience the pure adrenaline of polo, enjoy the majesty of horsemanship, along with all sorts of other unique activities. These include a riding school, cooking tutorials, bird-watching, quad-bike trips into the desert, an infinity pool, the award-winning Epicure market, and personalized wellness at the LIME Spa.

Rooms and suites
Set amidst green fields with palm trees, the Desert Palm offers sensually-designed accommodation hallmarked by a unique combination of Arabian and avant-garde design. There are twenty-eight 'naturally modern' guest suites and pool villas, each showcasing its own distinctive design while harmonizing with the simplicity and beauty of the estate. The Desert Palm polo estate comprises four championship polo fields, a riding school, stables, rare birds, endless sunshine and vast green landscapes.

Wood-fired steak and game are exquisitely prepared in a show kitchen and served on the terrace or the contemporary dining area. Kobe, Black Angus, Wagyu, and Argentinean Chimichurri are all on the menu, complemented by an impeccable choice of seasonal game and line-caught seafood.

The tradition continues at the LIME Spa in the Desert Palm Dubai, with therapies focused on healing, purification, and detoxification. Within the spa’s six treatment suites, clients engage in water and heat therapies, color balancing treatments, massages, and facial therapies. For the ultimate desert detoxification package, try the Dune Realm signature treatment.  The treatment begins with a purifying and cleansing exercise, designed to release harmful toxins. Next clients will undergo a color essence energy balance, followed by a detox body brush, reflexology treatment, and Wild Lime Cocoon, a full body clay cocoon designed to activate and replenish skin cells. The final step is a spirited vibrancy massage, bringing renewal to your body, reenergizing your life, a true desert metamorphosis.
