Soon after I check-in, Mira Huzyuk, the hotel's F&B Sales Executive, tells me that FIVE Palm Jumeirah's number one agenda is entertainment. "At FIVE, you can have a thrilling, action-packed vacation without ever needing to leave the premises," said Huzyuk. I spot many unaccompanied women at the resort, which is unsurprising considering the many offerings for its female patrons. "We offer Secret Ladies' Day every Thursday at noon, featuring poolside enjoyment with live DJs. We host a special Ladies' Night on Tuesdays with complimentary drinks and a three-course Japanese feast. Female guests can also pamper themselves at our spa daily from 10 am, take a dip in our rooftop pool and try a session of yoga," she added.
At FIVE, each guest's experience is designed to be environmentally conscious. This is achieved through solar-powered water heating, using repurposed water for landscaping, focusing on local produce and biodegradable amenities, and implementing intelligent controls to conserve energy.
