Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is a superyacht-inspired property that completes the luxury brand’s nautical trilogy (alongside the wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the iconic sail-shaped Jumeirah Burj Al Arab).
Designed by architect Shaun Killa, the property draws inspiration from “the majesty of the world’s finest yachts,” featuring 386 elegantly designed rooms and suites, 82 serviced residences and an 82-berth superyacht marina.
The interiors are inspired by the hue of golden hour, incorporating marble-clad surfaces, organic wood, soft-edged seating, handcrafted silk carpets, hand-blown crystal lights and textured fabrics.
Expansive windows throughout the property offer views of the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, the Arabian Gulf, and the surrounding landscapes, which include four outdoor pools.
The resort presents what it describes as “an extraordinary gastronomic journey” with 11 curated dining experiences and four destination bars. Among them is The Fore, a new-to-Dubai concept that transforms throughout the day, featuring four destination restaurants and a central bar.
Other culinary highlights include Iliana, a Greek Mediterranean pool club and rooftop bar; Kinugawa, which combines Japanese and French cuisine; and The Bombay Club, a celebration of Indian cuisine curated by Michelin-starred Chef Manav Tuli.
Wellness is central to the resort’s offering, with the state-of-the-art TALISE Spa spanning three floors. The spa is guided by three foundational pillars: Performance, Intention and Empower.
Advanced treatments are available in the Remedy Suite, featuring four technology-driven therapies including cryotherapy, ChromoSpace light treatments, iDome infra-red triple detox and a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
Bespoke treatments and holistic therapies are offered in 13 treatment suites, each with a private terrace overlooking the Gulf. Facilities include a 20-metre indoor pool and fully equipped fitness studio.
Families are catered for with a dedicated Family Club for guests aged 3 to ten, designed around connection and discovery. The club applies the techniques of “Jumeirah Circle”, described as “a fun educational concept for a meaningful family experience.”
The resort also emphasises cultural connections through a curated programme of exclusive activities. Partnerships with local and international artists, galleries, and museums celebrate Dubai’s cultural narrative, while an artist in residence programme provides platforms for chefs and creatives.
Beyond the hotel itself, the Marsa Al Arab Marina and Promenade offers a waterfront social hub featuring “serene vistas, homegrown dining concepts, exclusive retail stores and sophisticated suites” for both locals and visitors.
