Jumeirah Marsa al Arab

Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, the final piece in Jumeirah’s iconic nautical trilogy, redefines ultra-luxury on the Dubai waterfront. Designed by renowned architect Shaun Killa, the resort's unique architecture is inspired by the sleek, fluid lines of a futuristic superyacht, creating a seamless curvilinear silhouette. 

A standout feature is the dramatic steel arch entrance, which perfectly frames a captivating view of its older brother and Dubai icon -  the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab - setting a cinematic tone for arrival.

The resort boasts world-class facilities, including 386 accommodations with expansive terraces, an 82-berth private marina and a collection of 11 curated dining concepts like The Cullinan, a premier gourmet steakhouse; Italian cuisine at the grand Venetian-inspired Rialto; and Greek flavours at the beautiful beachfront restaurant, Iliana. 

Those with a sweet tooth: don’t miss the exquisite pastries by  world-famous pâtissier Pierre Hermé at the Lobby Lounge.

For wellness, the tri-level Talise Spa offers high-tech therapies like Cryotherapy, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, ChromoSpace light treatments and a dedicated female-only floor. Leisure facilities include multiple pools, notably the serene Kinugawa Adult Pool and the Iliana Pool Club, which is available exclusively for suite guests.

Tatler Tip: Book a treatment at the Talise Spa to coincide with "golden hour." The relaxation area's private terrace offers an unparalleled view of the sunset over the Arabian Gulf.
