We’ve all heard of the Rixos hotel branches, but now we don’t have to go all the way to Ras Al Khaima for that staycation we all need – Rixos is now open on the palm! The beach resort offers panoramic views of the azure waters of the Arabian Gulf, Dubai’s iconic skyscrapers, the shimmering skyline of Dubai Marina, and the remarkable lagoons and architecture of Palm Jumeirah itself.
