As the sun rises over the azure waters of the Arabian Gulf and into the elite confines of the newly opened Royal Penthouse at the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira in Dubai, the welcoming wave of another day isn’t merely on the horizon, rather it’s the inaugural embrace of a new lifestyle.

Lovingly curated and awash with royalty-certified accoutrements, the 850sq m penthouse will please even the most discerning sybarites. For starters, there’s the access to a personal gym, private dining room, bar, well-appointed study and enough space to entertain up to 16 guests. There is also 24-hour personal butler service as well as an exclusive snack menu catered by in-house Michelin-starred chef José Avillez.

Those in need of some extra special pampering should seek out the hotel’s revamped spa. Here a range of specially curated full-day retreats, comprehensive three-day programmes and unique well-being restorations – with the help of Subtle Energies cosmetics and consultations – to rejuvenate physical, mental and emotional balance await.

Perhaps the finest part of the stay, though, is the rooftop terrace, where the sterling skyscrapers and sparkling sea afford a view only accessible to Dubai’s most prestigious visitors.
