The hotel is home to several new dining concepts unique to the property. Zing Beach Bar offers refreshing craft drinks and a wide selection of light bites at the water’s edge. SocialBee features a delightful menu designed around locally-sourced honey, providing a cool, calm, and connected dining experience. Mowsem, the hotel’s all-day dining destination, serves an array of global cuisine, while Australian Jones the Grocer, located on the beach and a favourite among residents, is a breakfast spot for fresh and delicious artisan food.

Beyond the culinary experiences, the Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah offers one of the longest pools in Dubai, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and the award-winning eforea Spa. The spa provides comprehensive relaxation experiences, eight well-appointed treatment rooms, a dedicated spa suite, and a Moroccan Hammam for individuals and groups.

 

As a side note, there’s certainly nothing more frustrating or irritating when traveling than having to deal with roaming costs or spending half a day trying to buy a local SIM card – filling out pages and pages of contracts for only a few days connectivity. During this trip, we put the eSIM from Holafly to the test. Founded in Spain, Holafly has a range of international eSIM plans that you can purchase online and activate upon arrival, by scanning a QR code and following a few easy steps. The service offers unlimited data only, with the options of connecting other devices via tethering.
