Marvellous Palm Jumeirah in Dubai is quite a feat. The man-made archipelago, representing a palm tree, is a holiday haven offering loads of fun activities. From fab beach clubs to chilling at luxurious Palm Jumeirah hotels, here are the coolest things to do at Palm Jumeirah.
The Lost Chambers Aquarium is quite the treat. And it is perfect for everyone who enjoys aquatic adventures. There you can look forward to diving and snorkelling in glistening lagoons, which are teeming with all types of marine life. Over 65,000 species of marine life are yours to discover exploring the underwater world of the lagoons. Amongst the most exotic species are over 14 varieties of rays and sharks. There is also a yoga session at the aquarium, which promises to rejuvenate mind, body, and soul as you let the lush surroundings of the aquatic park surround you.
Weekends in Dubai is Friday and Saturday. Hence, you can look forward to a lazy brunch served at the luxurious Dubai Marina hotels on Palm Jumeirah. There are plenty of themes to choose from. The 'Nobu High Brunch' of Japanese dishes accompanied with cocktails is a popular option. And so is the famous 'Friday Fork & Cork brunch session served at the Crescendo, which guests at Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort will be able to easily enjoy.
Get set for an adrenaline-pumping ride across the Gulf in a powerful speedboat. The hair-raising ride takes place from the Dubai Marina and is a 90-minute thrill racing around the Palm Jumeirah. Stop along the way for photos in front of iconic attractions and jet off once more to sail past some of the most lavish palaces in Dubai.
If hair-raising rides are not your thing, enjoy the calm waters of the Arabian Gulf in a kayak. Group kayak tours are available for a leisurely paddle around the water. Or you can try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding and put your balancing skills to the test. No matter which tour you choose, look forward to stunning views of the Dubai skyline and the islands that make up the Palm Jumeirah.
A stay on the Palm Jumeirah does not limit you to just thrills on the Arabian Gulf. Book a scenic helicopter ride and enjoy birds-eye views of the entire Palm Jumeirah archipelago, World Island, and Dubai city. Your ride will fly over the iconic Dubai Creek, the fascinating historical attractions of the Old Town area, and impressive skyscrapers on Sheikh Zayed Road.
The coolest thing to do when staying at a Palm Jumeirah hotel is to enjoy sunset cocktails from the terrace of your hotel. There is nothing more relaxing and thrilling than the laid-back atmosphere and comfortable ambience of a lavish Palm Jumeirah resort.
