Dubai’s luxury hotel landscape has a new crown jewel. On March 14, 2025, the much-anticipated Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab officially opens, redefining grand luxury hospitality with its superyacht-inspired design, exceptional amenities, and world-class dining.

Positioned on a private peninsula next to the iconic Burj Al Arab, this architectural marvel by Shaun Killa marks the final masterpiece in Jumeirah’s trilogy of ocean-inspired hotels, joining the wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the sail-like Burj Al Arab.

This ambitious project, which has been in development for over six years, is a true masterpiece of design and engineering. Costing an estimated $1.5 billion. This resort is a witness to Dubai’s vision of pushing the boundaries of luxury.

Situated in the exclusive Umm Suqeim district, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab will offer you a perfect balance between urban excitement and serene seclusion. Guests are only moments away from some of Dubai’s most iconic attractions, including the Burj Al Arab and Souk Madinat Jumeirah.
