Dubai's Most Expensive Ultra-Luxury Hotel to Debut in 2027
Dubai is on the brink of welcoming another luxurious addition to its already impressive array of hospitality offerings. Aman, the ultra-luxury hotel group, is gearing up to make its debut in the UAE with the highly anticipated launch of Aman Dubai in 2027.
Situated on the prestigious shoreline of Jumeirah Beach, this suite-exclusive boutique resort will include a limited number of branded residences, fusing contemporary design with traditional Arabian hospitality. Drawing inspiration from the UAE's diverse landscape, the vertically designed nine-acre property features desert-inspired tones and natural materials, achieving a harmonious interplay of opulence and authenticity.
At the core of this establishment will be a lush garden and parkland reminiscent of the botanical gardens at Aman Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. Complementing this serene setting will be a 300-metre private beach, a luxurious Aman Spa and an exclusive Aman Club – a members-only space offering access to an array of amenities including villas, spa facilities, restaurants, meeting rooms, and a cinema.
'Dubai stands as a global city, leading the charge in dynamic evolution, offering an array of experiences for both visitors and residents alike,' Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman, shares with SceneTraveller. 'Securing the optimal site was paramount to ensure the delivery of our unparallelled service and authentic experiences, for which we are world-renowned.'
While details regarding the room count and rates remain undisclosed, it's anticipated that guests should be prepared for indulgence. Prices are expected to rival those of its sister property, Aman New York, where rooms fetch an astounding USD 3,200 per night, equivalent to nearly AED 11,000. Currently, renowned establishments such as Atlantis The Royal, Bulgari Resort Dubai, and Burj Al Arab command an average rate of around AED 4,000 per night.

Powerful New Documentary Spotlights World's Largest Humanitarian Logistics Hub in Dubai - Middle East Business News and Information
– ' Coming Together: The Dubai Humanitarian Story' provides a unique behind-the-scenes look inside the heart of one of the largest global disaster response facilities – Dubai Humanitarian – First six months of 2025 saw AED179.2M of humanitarian aid distributed from Dubai Humanitarian across 81 countries, reflected in its Humanitarian Logistics Databank Dubai, UAE – Dubai Humanitarian, the world's largest humanitarian logistics hub, has unveiled a new documentary, Coming Together: The Dubai Humanitarian Story – a gripping behind-the-scenes look at the premier disaster response facility. From devastating floods in Pakistan to the escalating conflict in Gaza, the film captures real-time coordination between United Nations agencies, international NGOs, and government partners. It reveals how Dubai Humanitarian's 150,000 sqm of warehouses – donated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai – enables life-saving supplies like vaccines, health kits, and clean water to reach crisis zones within hours. The documentary highlights the critical role of partners including the UN World Food Programme and UNHCR, and government logistical partners like Dubai Customs and Emirates Airline, whose close collaboration ensure relief efforts are swift, seamless, and scalable. Their combined expertise in customs clearance, logistics, and airlift capacity has proven vital in overcoming the most complex humanitarian challenges and ensuring response and aid are provided in record time. This new documentary also underscores the human stories behind the headlines – of aid workers, customs officials, and airline crews working as one to deliver hope. 'Dubai Humanitarian is more than a logistics hub – it's a global lifeline,' said Giuseppe Saba, CEO, Dubai Humanitarian, 'This film shows what's possible when the world comes together, and when the UAE leads with purpose.' Saba added: '2025 continues to bring extraordinary global challenges. Working alongside our UN partners and other relief organisations, in just the first half of the year Dubai Humanitarian facilitated the delivery of over AED 179.2 million in aid to 81 countries across the globe, with the need for shelter and health aid being particularly striking. We remain steadfast in our commitment to stand with our international humanitarian community in safeguarding the most vulnerable.' Head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) UAE, Sajeda Shawa, said: 'We need to make sure humanitarian aid is delivered based on humanitarian principles – with no discrimination and with equality. Being the voice of those who have no voice is not a luxury – it's a responsibility, an honour and a life calling.' Dubai Humanitarian's one of a kind, AI-powered Humanitarian Logistics Databank enables real-time analytics, demand forecasting, and stock visibility across time zones. It helps aid agencies anticipate needs, avoid price spikes, and prepare for seasonal surges, such as monsoon-related shelter demand in Bangladesh. Dubai's strategic location, just 10 minutes from Jebel Ali Port and Al Maktoum Airport, allows humanitarian cargo to reach two-thirds of the world's hazard-prone population within 4 to 8 hours. As the databank expands to 11 hubs, aid will be increasingly sourced locally, reducing carbon emissions and delivery times. Dubai Humanitarian aid in numbers Jan to Jun 2025: $48.8m Aid worth $48,867,298 distributed from Dubai Humanitarian. 81 Aid sent to 81 countries. $14m Health Aid: This included $13,969,276 worth of health accessories, medical equipment, pharmaceutical items and more. $1m Water and Sanitation Aid: The demand for water and sanitation aid included $733,297 worth of water supply items, ranging from buckets and containers to Jerry Cans. $15m Shelter Aid: Almost a third of all aid was allocated to shelter. This included 937,377 pieces of camping and field equipment, from tents to winterisation kits $208.1m Stock value available at Dubai Humanitarian in June 2025. 25 During the first half of 2025, key moments included the 25th Dubai Humanitarian airlift for Gaza. The April operation delivered 56.8 metric tonnes of critical medical supplies worth over $1million (AED4.3million), provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), to El Arish Airport in Egypt. About Dubai Humanitarian: Dubai Humanitarian, formerly known as the International Humanitarian City, is the largest humanitarian hub in the world. Established in 2003 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, it was created to proactively support the efforts of the international humanitarian community. As the only non-profit, independent humanitarian free zone authority, Dubai Humanitarian is home to a diverse community of around 80 members, including United Nations agencies, non-profits, non-governmental organizations, and commercial companies. Together, they work to advance humanitarian and development efforts worldwide. Benefits of the Humanitarian Logistics Databank To countries in need of aid: Real-time analytics and 24/7/365 visibility of aid levels – daily updates provides accurate data, especially convenient across time zones and saves phone calls Enhanced co-ordination and faster identification of aid partners –countries requiring aid have access to detailed data, including which members from UN World Food Programme to UNICEF within Dubai Humanitarian have how much of each product, so they can approach them direct for support, knowing their current stock levels To Dubai Humanitarian-based aid agencies: Prepare more effectively by anticipating aid demand – as aid flows can be tracked over time, through its ongoing AI backed data analysis, Dubai Humanitarian can advise aid agencies when demand will likely peak and aid levels will run low. For example, during the August monsoon season in Bangladesh, Dubai Humanitarian identified the higher annual demand for tents and blankets. Aid agencies at Dubai Humanitarian can then build up stocks ahead of time Avoid price spikes – By building up stock ahead of demand spikes, aid agencies can manage stocks more effectively and purchase aid ahead of price surges. To Dubai Humanitarian Anticipate storage needs – Dubai Humanitarian continually analyses its data to understand changing demand for different types of aid. By recognising the increase in health product demand in the early years of the databank, Dubai Humanitarian were able to expand its cold storage solutions and were then more prepared for the Covid-19 response as a result. Global sustainability Reducing travel distances and carbon emissions – Due to Dubai's strategic geographic position on the path between Middle East, Asia and Africa, and Dubai Humanitarian being located only 10 minutes away from the Jebel Ali seaport and Al Maktoum airport, it enables the humanitarian community to reach, within 4-8 hours, two-thirds of the world population living in hazard-prone areas. Future view: locating local aid – As the databank grows to include up to 11 hubs, countries and organisations in need will be able to effectively locate their closest available aid, reducing travel time and emissions, with aid able to travel by road and sea rather than air. Interview opportunities or commentary: Giuseppe Saba, CEO, Dubai Humanitarian Giuseppe Saba is a leading logistics and support services expert. He is the founder of the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot Network (UNHRD) and joined Dubai Humanitarian as CEO in 2017, leading the launch of the Humanitarian Logistics Databank in 2018.

Dubai to Welcome Nearly 10,000 Millionaires in 2025; That's More Than One New Millionaire Every Hour! - Middle East Business News and Information
Dubai's transformation from a transient luxury stopover to a permanent global wealth capital is accelerating, according to Betterhomes' data-led report, Dubai: No Longer a Pit Stop, But the Finish Line for Global Wealth . As of December 2024, Dubai counts 81,200 resident millionaires, contributing to the UAE's total of 130,500 dollar millionaires, a remarkable 98% jump in the last decade. With 142,000 millionaires set to migrate globally in 2025, even if just 5% select Dubai, that's 7,100 new HNWIs and nearly USD 7.1 billion in fresh investment. 'Dubai has matured into the world's most compelling plug‑and‑play city for wealth. What's changed is intent; founders, operators and multi‑generational families are anchoring here, not passing through,' said Louis Harding, CEO at Betterhomes. Ticket sizes tell the story. On‑the‑ground allocations are rising, with HNWIs averaging AED 11.4 million (USD 3.1 million) per residential acquisition, and UHNW families committing AED 134 million+ (USD 36.5 million+) to legacy villas, waterfront compounds, and identity‑rich branded residences. These are end‑user purchases oriented toward permanence, professional services, and inter‑generational planning and not flip culture. Market depth is broadening. Dubai's luxury property market continues to set new benchmarks, with year-to-date villa and townhouse sales soaring to AED 147.2 billion (USD 40 billion), a remarkable 41% jump compared to last year. Ultra-prime communities remain at the heart of this momentum: Palm Jumeirah has witnessed 85 transactions worth AED 3.8 billion (USD 1 billion), while Emirates Hills saw 30 deals totalling AED 1.9 billion (USD 517 million). At the very top end of the spectrum, homes priced above AED 35 million (USD 10 million) amassed AED 9.4 billion (USD 2.6 billion) in sales over the past six months alone, spanning 146 transactions. How does Dubai convert flow into stock? Policy clarity and zero personal income tax reduce friction for wealth creators. Safety, modern infrastructure, elite healthcare and education, and a USD‑pegged currency support families who plan to stay. The DIFC ecosystem, spanning private banking, trustees, and legal/accounting services, underpins the growth of family offices and capital‑formation vehicles. Together, these features convert mobile inflows into permanent capital. From status buys to service stacks. Branded living has evolved from a badge to an operating system: concierge, wellness, club networks, and managed rental programs bundled into one address. In a supply‑constrained waterfront and villa market, this service stack is the new gravity. 'This cycle is driven by real users, not leverage,' Harding added. 'Global wealth is consolidating in branded ecosystems and legacy neighbourhoods. With policy clarity and quality-of-life premiums compounding, Dubai's prime market is shifting from cyclical to structural.' As the global migration supercycle continues, Betterhomes expects sustained depth in prime and super‑prime, a further build‑out of family‑office services, and developers doubling down on concierge‑grade, club‑linked offerings. With supply tight in key sub‑markets, pricing power remains with high‑quality stock. Why it matters now: Legacy hubs (London, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Paris) face rising tax and policy friction. Dubai offers clarity, speed, and scale, a rare combination for wealth creators who value time to operate, predictable rules, and global reach within one flight hop. The result is a structural recalibration, not a cyclical blip.

New Documentary Explores Dubai Humanitarian's Role in Global Relief
A new documentary lifts the curtain on Dubai's disaster hub, where AED 179.2 million in aid for 81 countries moved in just six months this year. Aug 19, 2025 A new documentary, 'Coming Together: The Dubai Humanitarian Story', examines the operations of Dubai Humanitarian, the world's largest humanitarian logistics hub. The film follows the work of United Nations agencies, NGOs and government bodies as they coordinate responses to crises such as floods in Pakistan and the conflict in Gaza, highlighting how supplies including vaccines, shelter kits and food are dispatched from Dubai within hours. 'Dubai Humanitarian is more than a logistics hub - it's a global lifeline,' said Giuseppe Saba, CEO, Dubai Humanitarian. 'This film shows what's possible when the world comes together, and when the UAE leads with purpose.' Dubai Humanitarian operates from a 150,000 square metre warehouse complex provided by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The documentary outlines the role of international partners such as the UN World Food Programme and UNHCR, as well as local contributors including Emirates Airline and Dubai Customs. Alongside logistics, the film focuses on the people involved -aid workers, customs officers, and teams on the ground - who manage the pressures of ensuring supplies reach affected areas. By mid-2025, Dubai Humanitarian had delivered AED 179.2 million worth of aid to 81 countries. Its AI-based logistics platform, now used across 11 hubs, provides real-time forecasting and crisis preparation. With two-thirds of the world's most disaster-prone populations accessible within eight hours, the hub is positioned as a central node in global relief. The documentary is available on Dubai Humanitarian's official YouTube channel.
