The Palm Tree Court and Spa is set in 128 acres of landscaped gardens on the shores of the Arabian Gulf, 50 kilometres from central Dubai, and shares premises with the Jebel Ali Golf Resort.

The 132 sea-front suites are situated within six low-rise beachfront buildings. Lower level rooms extend onto terraces, while middle and upper level rooms open onto large balconies overlooking palm trees and landscaped gardens with views of the Arabian Gulf.

Suites have sleek wooden floors and are decorated in bright colours. All are air conditioned and include satellite television, safes, and minibars. Bathrooms come with hair dryers, bathrobes, slippers and designer toiletries.

After lounging on the sun terraces beside the three outdoor pools, guests can head to the hotel spa to be pampered with one of over 30 innovative facial and body treatments.

Adults can socialise in one of the six bars or restaurants on the premises, while professional staff from the Peaco Children's Club entertain kids.

The onsite sister hotel Jebel Ali Golf Resort offers a comprehensive conference package and 1000 square metres of meeting rooms.

In between working hours, business travellers can make use the championship standard, 9-hole, par 36, golf course, 80-berth marina, 133-acre shooting club, or the private beach.

Fitness fanatics can work out at Club Joumana, an extensive sports complex that encompasses four floodlit tennis courts, a clubhouse with squash and badminton courts, a fully-equipped fitness centre, jetted tubs, a sauna, and massage-treatment rooms.

For indoor sports fans, a stately private snooker and billiards room is located in the Club Joumana clubhouse. Secure, valet parking is available to guests.

Guests can book deep-sea fishing trips on the hotel's two fishing boats, and the private beach offers facilities for windsurfing, catamaran-racing and banana boat rides. Back on dry land, children can go for camel and donkey rides along the sand, while adults can book for desert horse rides from the hotel stables.

Dubai International Airport is 50 kilometres from the hotel, around 40 minutes by car.
