Rixos the Palm Dubai is a top five-star luxury hotel, located in the most prestigious part of Dubai, Palm Jumeirah. Dedicated to offering trademark Rixos hospitality, guests will immediately sense its special atmosphere as being one of warmth and intimacy, relaxation and charm in a beautiful ambiance. Rixos the Palm offers a personalised service tailored to the needs of its guests, but what really sets the property apart is the fine dining, with five outlets wowing patrons.

During the holy month of Ramadan, Rixos the Palm Dubai will be offering a Ramadan tent Qasr Al Sultan. The location is designed to resemble the Sultan’s palace in which people used to break their fasts, play games, smoke shisha and experience traditional Arabic entertainment.

Having been schooled in the Rixos philosophy in Turkey, Mouhamad Hadla has now been appointed hotel manager at Rixos the Palm Dubai. Here Breaking Travel News catches up with him to discus what is on offer at the property, what separates it from its competitors in the busy Dubai luxury sector, and what it means to be nominated by the World Travel Awards.

Rixos Hotels is to mark its Middle East debut by managing a new property on the Palm Jumeirah. The Turkish luxury hospitality brand steps in after Jumeirah Group, the brand behind Dubai’s iconic Burj al Arab, terminated its contract with Al Fattan Properties to manage Jumeirah Al Fattan Palm Resort.
