A private cove on the Arabian Gulf. One hundred and twenty keys, a row of overwater villas and a beach that is yours alone until sunrise.
Mirage Bay sits on a sheltered cove of the Al Marjan coast, seventy-five minutes from Dubai International and a world away from it. One hundred and twenty keys are spread between lagoon rooms, beach villas and a row of overwater villas that catch the first light. Everything here — the hammam, the shisha lounge, the ballroom built like a majlis — was designed for how the Gulf actually lives: late dinners, long evenings, family at the centre.
Every key faces the water. Rates include breakfast at Saffron, the kids' club and the wellness circuit.
Most bookedGround-floor rooms opening straight onto the saltwater lagoon, with a sunrise terrace, a king bed and a rain shower carved from Omani stone.
FamiliesA one-bedroom villa with its own plunge pool, an outdoor majlis under the palms and twenty steps of sand between you and the Gulf. A butler is on call around the clock.
SignatureTwo bedrooms suspended over the lagoon, glass floor panels, a twelve-metre infinity pool and a private chef. Arrive by boat; leave only when you must.
Three venues, all halal kitchens. Alcohol is served only at Al Bahr and the pool bar; Saffron and Dukhan are alcohol-free.
