Staycation review: The Residence at One&Only Royal Mirage, revamped
An icon of Dubai hospitality of more than two decades, the One&Only Royal Mirage is the kind of city getaway that does city getaways right. This weekend, we're staying at the recently-refurbished Residence. The Setting Designed to emulate traditional Arabian architecture, the resort is an imposing, intricate facade, coloured in the typical stone with high ceilings, smooth arches, grand chandeliers, antique furniture, oriental furnishings and a kind of old-world charm. 3 of 12 Our area of focus, The Residence, is just one of three separate properties enclosed in the One&Only Royal Mirage compound – a more intimate, settled in and luxurious escape with winding hallways, shiny tiled floors and wooden accents found in traditional Arabian homes. Massive, aquamarine pools and a stretch of private beach add a touch of the exclusivity to the resort. Think desert chic, elevated. The Room Recently, the 48 rooms and suites of the Residence underwent a meticulous renovation, revealing a fresh new look that blends timeless Arabian design elements with contemporary touches. Our room, the Junior Suite, is located on the ground floor of The Residences, with a shaded patio that overlooks the gorgeous gardens and the pool. The room itself is expansive, divided into a sitting area and a bedroom. Wooden fittings, low-hanging lanterns and lattice partitions give the room an Arabian feel, while large mirrors, plush carpeting, curated coffee table books and the airy bathroom add a modern touch. It truly feels like a residence, somehow more boutique and personal. The Food & Drink The first night, we dined at Tagine, the resident Moroccan restaurant draped in cultural and heritage elements. The staff spoil us with keen, attentive service and we sample some authentic Morrocan favourites like the namesake tagine, a selection of dips, pastries and starters, couscous and tender meat – everything packed with flavour and varied textures. The next day we have lunch at The Beach Bar & Grill by Mauro Colagreco, a charming, nautical-themed establishment perched by the beach. Here, we sample delicious seafood cooked with bright, colourful ingredients and South American flair. Portions at both the restaurants are hearty and filling. The Activities During our stay, we're invited to join the Moonlight night swim at the adults-only Janoub Pool, located in The Palace. The night is crisp and pleasant, and we relax in the infinity pool followed by a quick dinner on the loungers of some of the bar bites – warm empanadas, a meaty burger and some drinks. The rest of the night is spent lounging on the sun beds, breathing in the nighttime air and the calm of our surroundings. We also have a couples massage at The Spa, a quiet sanctuary laid further and further inward for complete disconnect – a much-needed reset – and explore Sauce, the in-house vacation store. Besides this, The Residence does have a fitness centre with a trainer, a pool, access to the beach and The Library Bar for moody evenings. The Experience Right in the heart of Dubai Media City, a packed, bustling, corporate area, The Residence, and the resort as a whole, whisks you away to a bubble elsewhere, where the noise of the traffic, the haze of the crane lights and the catacomb of the roads is far removed. If you were dropped into the centre of the massive, sprawling property, you would never guess what lies beyond the rolling grounds of swaying date trees and the boundaries. Think long relaxing days spent by pool, glamorous dinner dates by night and total escapism. What to Pack Bathing suits for the pool, flowy glam for evenings and airy linens for daytime. What's On the Bill From Dhs900 per night – there is also the Summer Escapes offer, exclusive to this season. Enjoy 15% savings on longer stays, daily waterpark access, and evening drinks for guests at The Palace. Guests at The Residence can indulge in a 60-minute spa treatment and daily afternoon tea, while families at Arabian Court benefit from kids staying and dining free. Minimum stay of 2 nights. The Final Say What's On Verdict: The Residence at One&Only Royal Mirage is a city sanctuary done right. The Deets Location: Dubai Media City, Dubai Check-in/Check-out: 3pm/12pm Contact: (04) 399 9999 | @ooroyalmirage Booking tip: Grab the staycation offer for this season before it ends.

Inside: The Growhouse by One Life at Alserkal Avenue
House favourite One Life Kitchen is growing – literally and figuratively. The community concept has a brand new outpost in Alserkal Avenue, resident cool club for all the cool kids, and now a culture and dining hotspot in the city, and this one is a little bit different. After wildly successful branches in D3 and JVC, they've made a pivot into a farm-to-table experience coming straight from just one level above – The Growhouse by One Life. Necip Camcigil, founder of One Life, tells us that this was a natural progression. The demands of Alserkal Avenue for this collaboration were such that he had to innovate and come up with a fresh idea for a fresh space, as is the MO of the avenue, and this is what came out of it. He adds that One Life was never going to be a franchise-chain-esque concept, which is why each branch has an element that makes it stand apart from the others. After failed attempts at growing produce at their D3 location during the strange times of the pandemic, him and partner Chef Kelvin Kelly decided now was the time to revive that design, but done with purpose and intention this time. And so, The Growhouse was born. Housed within industrial chic walls, the cafe and co-working space features a regenerative biodiversity farm and a massive kitchen, three times larger than the sister branches, and is also now the catering headquarters of the brand. The space itself is big and airy, still having retained a lot of the barebones elements of the warehouse structure – concrete walls, exposed vents, high ceilings and all that. Posters from neighbour Cinema Akil's activations line the walls. Two bright red, charming handpumps stand in the middle of all the greenery, so you can wash your hands the way your ancestors did it. This time around, UAE-based sustainable solutions provider LetitGRO is offering horticulture expertise to make up for the lack of Camcigil and Kelly's green thumbs, and local company, The Waste Lab, will help them convert food waste into a resource. The Growhouse will also serve as a community hub, hosting public workshops and events centred around sustainability, food, and wellness. The food One Life has always had a made-from-scratch, sustainable philosophy, but now with an indoor farm where they're growing their own ingredients, they're executing it in the most absolute manner – real zero-mile, farm-to-table stuff, with a view into the magic with the open kitchen. A myriad of all kinds of delicious scents reach my nose before the food is even served, and I'm given a selection of some of the exclusive Alserkal dishes. Two kinds of tortellini – hearty, packed with flavours and comfort; perfectly done kebabs, Camcigil's own recipe, juicy and slathered in yogurt sauce; sea bass served in a silky, buttery sauce with sweet grapes – you'd think it doesn't work, but it couldn't be better; mixed salad bowl with pasta, beetroot, cherry tomatoes, kale and more good, green stuff; and of course, some amazing coffee. The story of One Life is also one of awakening from corporate slumber. As we pick at our food, Camcigil explains the inspiration of the name of his brand – having spent 9 years in corporate, he decided he was going to take his one life and do something with it that nourishes him. The many things The Growhouse does and the way it does them reflects what it stands for – doing everything, for everyone, from scratch. The air is buzzing with a welcoming, communal feel as patrons tap-tap away at their laptops, sipping coffee, having meetings and going about their day. Life, done at a leisurely pace, because you know, you only have one of it. @thegrowhousedxb Images: Supplied > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
