Structured sports coaching for children — football, tennis, swimming, and similar. Useful for kids aged roughly 6–12 who want something more focused than the general kids club.
The educational arm of the kids' program — archaeology dig themes, seascape painting, craft projects. Runs during day hours; age groups vary. Free with the package, staffed by dedicated club supervisors.
Kids' cooking sessions — pizza making and similar. Popular and books up; register early on arrival.
Evening program includes a Rixy Disco. General play and game sessions fill afternoon slots. The club keeps children occupied well enough that parents can genuinely use the adults-only pool.
Evening entertainment program in the main outdoor area — fire shows, acrobatics, live music. Quality varies by night; the weekend shows tend to be more elaborate.
Major sports events screened in the lounge/bar area. Themed evenings tied to UAE national holidays or seasonal events occasionally run.
Not included by default — standard package guests pay the day entry fee (significant). Guests staying minimum 4 nights reportedly receive complimentary tickets through December 2026. Verify this at booking, not on arrival, as the offer has conditions.
Scheduled shuttle to Mall of the Emirates. Useful for a half-day off-resort excursion without dealing with taxis. Check the current schedule at concierge — it doesn't run continuously.
Available as a paid add-on. The Palm's immediate water visibility isn't exceptional for diving — if diving is a priority, dedicated Dubai dive sites require a taxi or boat.
Paid motorized water sport, arranged through the beach activities desk. Gulf conditions are typically calm enough for beginners.
Paid activity. Views of the Palm Jumeirah from altitude are genuinely good. Book through the beach desk; availability depends on wind conditions.
Paid half-day or full-day excursions to explore the Gulf coast. The concierge desk can arrange — pricing varies by boat size and duration.
Available for hire at additional cost. Useful for families wanting an adults-only evening without relying on the kids' club schedule.
