Palm Tower

Palm Tower is a 52-storey mixed-use development sitting at the centre of Palm Jumeirah's trunk, comprising a residential tower (The Palm Tower Residences) and the five-star St. Regis Dubai hotel. It is one of the most recognisable addresses on the Palm, with units stacked to take in unobstructed views of the Gulf, Dubai Marina skyline, and the broader Palm frond network.

Location & connectivity

Palm Tower sits directly above Nakheel Mall and the Palm Monorail's Gateway station, connecting residents to the mainland Palm Jumeirah Gateway Towers station without a car. By road, Sheikh Zayed Road is roughly a 10-min drive via the Palm Jumeirah Tunnel, putting DIFC within 20 minutes and Dubai Marina within 10 minutes.

Property mix

The residential component occupies floors 18–50 and is apartment-only — no villas or townhouses exist within Palm Tower itself.

• •Apartments: 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units in The Palm Tower Residences
• •Penthouses: Full-floor and sky-suite configurations on upper floors

Schools

No schools are located within Palm Tower. The nearest options are on the mainland, accessible via the Palm Jumeirah Tunnel:

• •GEMS New Millennium School, Al Khail — British curriculum, ~15-min drive
• •Dubai British School Jumeirah Park — British curriculum, ~15-min drive
• •Regent International School, The Greens — British curriculum, ~15-min drive

• •Saudi German Hospital, Al Barsha — ~20-min drive
• •Mediclinic City Hospital, Dubai Healthcare City — ~25-min drive

Shopping & dining

Nakheel Mall is directly connected to the tower's base, housing a Waitrose supermarket, cinema, and a range of dining and retail outlets. The Palm's boardwalk restaurants — including Nobu, Bice Mare, and Kao — are within a short drive or taxi ride. For broader retail, Mall of the Emirates is approximately 20 minutes by car.

Parks & leisure

Residents have access to the St. Regis rooftop infinity pool on level 50 and a private beach managed by the hotel. Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis is a 10-min drive along the Palm's trunk. The Palm's dedicated cycling and running track runs along the boardwalk just minutes away.

Things to consider

Palm Tower commands a significant price premium over comparable Palm addresses due to the St. Regis branding, rooftop pool access, and central location — buyers should budget accordingly. The trunk of the Palm can experience heavier traffic congestion than the quieter frond villas, and parking for visitors is limited to the Nakheel Mall structure.
