Inside the hotel’s white low-rise building, you’ll encounter 430 tastefully designed rooms and suites, interiors inspired by desert sands and the Arabian Gulf, and natural materials like wood and stone.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Wooden abras ferry guests along four kilometers of canals to Souk Madinat, and Wild Wadi Waterpark sits next door.
The rooms
Sliding oak screens open up the bedrooms, and bathrooms have deep bathtubs beside broad stone lounging benches.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three outdoor pools wind through gardens designed by Bill Bensley, flanked by draped cabanas and sun loungers.
The gym
The first-floor gym sits beneath wide skylights with Technogym equipment, and trainers lead daily beachside yoga.
Bar
Blind Tiger
Mirrored ceilings reflect plush velvet seating inside the lounge, and the terrace looks straight out over the Turtle Lagoon.
Jumeirah Al Naseem—meaning ‘sea breeze’ in Arabic—draws a younger crowd by swapping the arabesque grandeur of its siblings for a more clean-lined, contemporary aesthetic.
At the table
Beachfront tables sit under thatched pergolas beside the water, and pastel dining rooms open onto the central turtle lagoon.
How it began
Emirati artist Mattar Bin Lahej designed four signature works for the hotel, including the galloping camel caravan at the entrance.
“Rooms bridge a sense of Far-Eastern zen with up-to-date Arabian aesthetics via enveloping neutrals, marble, wood, leather and gilded accents.”
