Dubai's Marriott Resort unveils UAE’s first 5-star pet-friendly staycation
New Seaview rooms combine comfort, terrace access and outdoor charm
DUBAI – Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah has unveiled an innovative offering for pet owners with the launch of ‘Pawfect Stay on the Palm’, a curated pet-friendly staycation package.
The initiative coincides with the introduction of 14 newly added Palm Seaview Rooms with Terrace, offering expansive outdoor spaces for relaxation and sunbathing.
With Dubai’s luxury hospitality market seeing a growing demand for pet-inclusive stays, Marriott is leading the way on Palm West Beach by officially welcoming pets to its five-star resort.
What’s new?
The newly launched Palm Seaview Rooms with Terrace are located on the second floor, combining stylish interiors with direct outdoor access. Each room is designed to accommodate guests travelling with pets, providing an ideal blend of comfort and practicality.
With these additions, Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah becomes the first five-star property on Palm West Beach to offer a dedicated pet-friendly experience.
How pets are pampered
From arrival, pets are treated like VIPs. Check-in includes a special welcome package with treats, a personalised letter, a pet bed, food and water bowls, and a branded “Pet in Room” door hanger.
Guests also receive take-home goodies, including a chew toy and a walking map of nearby pet-friendly spots. The experience extends to dining, with pet-inclusive breakfast and a choice of lunch or dinner either in-room or at MYAMI.
Dining outlets Myami and Bal Harbour Beach now feature dedicated pet menus and shaded seating, while the Fountain Area provides a relaxed environment for pets and owners alike.
Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah has partnered with leading UAE pet brands Furchild Pet Nutrition and Pet World UAE. Furchild, known for its fresh and raw pet food, and Pet World UAE, a premium retailer of pet products, provide exclusive offers and discounts for guests. These collaborations ensure pets are treated to high-quality food and accessories throughout the stay, enhancing the resort’s home-away-from-home experience.
Promenade along Palm West Beach
A highlight for many guests is the Promenade along Palm West Beach, widely regarded as one of Dubai’s top walking areas for dogs. The scenic route, just steps from the resort, offers an ideal setting for early morning strolls, sunset walks, or simply enjoying the beachfront atmosphere.
The pet-friendly terrace access from rooms makes it easy for guests to integrate outdoor activities into their stay seamlessly.
What are the rules?
The pet-friendly policy applies exclusively to Palm Seaview Rooms with Terrace. Each room accommodates up to two pets, dogs or cats, with a maximum weight of 25kg per pet. A non-refundable fee of Dh300 per night, per room, applies. Pets may transit through guest lifts, hallways, and the lobby but should not linger in these areas.
Designated pet-friendly zones include Myami, Bal Harbour Beach, the Fountain Area, and the Promenade, with a map provided in-room.
How to book a spot
With luxury pet-friendly stays still rare in the UAE, Marriott’s new package caters to the growing demand for accessible, high-quality getaways that welcome every member of the family, including pets.
General Manager Gerrit Schmitt emphasised, “Guests told us what they wanted, and so we created it. It’s a natural next step in creating personalised experiences that we hope guests and their furry friends will treasure forever.”
The ‘Pawfect Stay on the Palm’ package, available exclusively through marriottresortpalmjumeirah.com, includes premium pet amenities, curated in-room dining, and a host of other pet-friendly perks.
