Life

Is this Dubai’s most luxurious new stay?

If you’re dreaming of a Dubai staycation that offers next-level luxury, then pack your favourite resortwear for Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. The superyacht-inspired resort is an architectural vision sitting pretty on the shorefront of Jumeirah – and it’s welcoming guests from Friday March 14.

Completing a nautical-inspired trilogy alongside Jumeirah Beach Hotel and another visual icon – Burj Al Arab, the gorgeous new resort exudes elevated oceanic style. Inspired by the majesty of superyachts from around the world, the resort features 386 rooms and suites, a curated collection of almost a dozen restaurants and bars, five swimming pools, a rejuvenating spa and even its own 82-berth marina.

Checking-in to pure luxury

Of the glamourous and contemporary accommodation options, guests can check in to one of 300 rooms or 86 suites. In the top-tier suite categories, guests can enjoy bold and sporty interiors, modern butler service, and access to the exclusive Iliana Pool Club.

Top tier suites include the Pearl Suite, complete with wrap-around terrace and space to host events for up to 80; the Presidential Suite, with its own plunge pool; and The Royal Suite, which seemingly floats above water, and can be expanded into a multi-bedroom retreat of five connecting rooms.

A feast of flavours

Set to become the ultimate destination for gourmands, diners will be spoiled for choice with 11 restaurants and four bars at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. Unique for Dubai is The Fore, a transforming dining destination that evolves through breakfast, lunch and dinner. Elsewhere, highlights include The Cullinan, a fine dining steakhouse; Kira, where Mediterrasian dishes take centre stage, and guests can continue the night at the exclusive Litt club afterwards; and Kinugawa, a contemporary Japanese restaurant that hails from St Tropez.

Other dining options include the grand Venetian restaurant and bar Rialto, which captures the timeless allure of 1950s Italy; and Orizonta, a chic Eastern Mediterranean restaurant with dreamy Burj Al Arab views. There’s also aforementioned Iliana, a suite-guests-only pool club by day, and an alluring rooftop bar by night.

Completing the line-up is Umi Kei, serving Japanese dishes inspired by the art of kintsugi; Madame Li, a refined Asian fusion restaurant; breezy Mediterranean brasserie Mirabelle; and The Bombay Club, which brings to life the vibrant culinary heritage of India.

Rejuvenating wellness

Jumeirah brings its renowned Talise Spa wellness concept into Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab as a three-floor emporium of relaxation and rejuvenation. Bespoke treatments and holistic therapies are offered in 13 treatment rooms with private terraces, while guests can also enjoy a 20-meter indoor pool, a fully equipped fitness studio, gym, and female-only spaces.

Another standout feature is the Remedy Suite, which features four technology-driven therapies such as Cryotherapy, ChromoSpace light treatments, the iDome Infra-Red Triple Detox Treatment, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber.

A destination little ones will love

Not just the ultimate playground for adults, little travellers can enjoy a dedicated family club, perfect for children aged three to 10. Here, daily activities are designed to foster creativity, learning, and meaningful connections through engaging activities and interactive experiences.
