First impressions count
As you arrive at the valet, you’re greeted by jaw-dropping views of the Burj Al Arab and the Downtown skyline. Step inside, and the lobby sets the tone for your day with light flooding in through the glass ceiling and a calm vibe. Added details like fresh flowers, a grand piano in the corner, and art displayed throughout, with unique pieces and textures, create an elevated feel.
The lobby is a great spot for meetings or casual catch-ups. Emperor's Lounge serves fresh pastries and coffee for a midday pick-me-up.
Insider tip: Pick up an iced americano and one of their buttery croissants as you make your way to the pool.
Poolside haven
Surrounded by comfy sun loungers and nautical blue-and-white striped towels, the main pool is an ideal spot to soak up the sun, overlooking the beach. There are both single and double sun loungers, making it easy to relax with friends or family.
The 70-metre pool feels super spacious, with shallow areas for kids and a peaceful atmosphere for anyone looking to unwind.
Lime Pool Bar has you covered for snacks and drinks all day with two swim-up bars at either end of the pool! Top up your tan all day as you sip drinks here, there’s no reason to leave!
Stay active by the pool with daily activities! Whether you're up for a workout or want to cool off, you can dive into volleyball, water polo, or join an aqua aerobics session. Find the daily resort activities schedule at the towel hut.
Hidden gems: Don’t miss the complimentary ice lollies handed out at the pool every afternoon.
Tranquil beach
Relax in shaded cabanas, immerse yourself in the serene setting, and enjoy plenty of space to chill at Taj Exotica Resort’s private beach. With views of the Palm Jumeirah villas and a jetty on the left, it's a scenic spot for laid-back days. You can also add some adrenaline to your day and join beach volleyball and football - check the resort activities schedule for details.
Privilee loves: Staying for sunset and taking in the view from the cushioned cabanas.
Family-friendly fun
For families, the shaded kids’ pool is a game changer. It’s right behind the main pool, for little ones to splash around safely while parents lounge on nearby loungers and keep an eye on them. This is also where you can find the Surf and Snack Food Truck - located so you can easily get light snacks and drinks for the kids while they play.
Next to the kids’ pool is a shaded playground with a climbing frame and slide for when they want a break from swimming. Just around the corner from this area is Popsicle Kids Club, where daily activities like face painting, slime making, and board games keep the little ones entertained. Toys, puzzles, and movies also make sure they’re occupied.
Popsicle Kids’ Club is open from 10am to 7pm. Kids must be aged 4 - 11 to access the club.
Activities
There’s more at the resort beyond the pools and beach! Start your day with a friendly game of tennis, or switch things up and hit the courts midday for a change of scenery. Adults and kids can have fun at the putting green, tee up and perfect your swing on this area to the left of the resort.
Privilee Members get complimentary access to the tennis courts and putting green.
