Set along the sought-after Palm West Beach, guests are invited to embrace relaxation and excitement with a stay at Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah, Dubai – a haven of tranquillity that meets all entertainment needs.
Home to 602 rooms and suites, choose to place your head in pure elegance and luxury with the Presidential Suite.

Okku spotlights Japan’s culinary heritage in artistic surrounds that include giant Samurai soldiers printed in 3D, traditional Yakisugi decorative wood-panelling and artworks inspired by the natural beauty and culture of The Land of The Rising Sun. For menu highlights, there’s foie-gras Kushiyaki or the formidable 1.7kg Japanese bone-in Wagyu rib of beef.
For the tastes of Italy, delightful trattoria Cucina, satisfies with breakfasts of freshly baked Italian pastries and fresh watermelon carpaccio, and dinner showcasing plates of al dente pasta and sharing dishes of veal Milanese or slow-braised goat with baked-agria potatoes.
