Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Direct beachfront on Jumeirah Beach Road places you along the Gulf coast, just fifteen minutes from Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa.
The rooms
Balconies frame the Gulf or skyline, while interiors layer Persian travertine and Statuario marble bathrooms with freestanding tubs.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A palm-lined lap pool stretches toward the beach, and an adults-only infinity pool perches on the rooftop.
The spa
Curved ceilings arch over indoor vitality pools, joined by a dedicated hammam suite and cold immersion plunge baths.
The gym
Outrace rigs and functional training gear outfit the studio, with daily classes ranging from boxing to beachfront workouts.
At the table
Dining spans straw-fire Warayaki steaks at Netsu and Portuguese seafood at Michelin-starred Tasca overlooking the skyline.
Rather than its towering neighbours, the hotel is low-rise with a private stretch of beach lapped by the Arabian Gulf.
How it began
The 2019 opening marked the brand's United Arab Emirates debut, conceived as a low-rise beachfront urban resort along the Jumeirah coast.
