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.
All of the restaurants are now open for bookings. 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. Room rates
Reservations from March 14 onwards start from AED4,465.

The Art of Stillness: Why Nolinski Venezia is the Summer Escape GCC Travellers Didn't Know They Needed
The Art of Stillness: Why Nolinski Venezia is the Summer Escape GCC Travellers Didn't Know They Needed For those living in the GCC, summer is often synonymous with escape. When the days turn molten and the pulse of city life becomes relentless, there's a quiet craving that begins to surface—not for more, but for less. Less movement. Less performance. Fewer decisions, fewer demands. A need to retreat into a rhythm that's slower, softer, and deeply personal. In Venice, a city often steered away from summer for its crowds and chaos—Nolinski Venezia offers a counter-narrative. Nestled between La Fenice and San Marco, this hotel doesn't require your presence—it simply welcomes your becoming. Where Stillness Is Not Absence, But Intention The allure of Nolinski for a GCC traveller isn't in its grandeur but in the way it makes space for quiet. For the resident who moves between boardrooms and brunches, where daily life is hyper-connected and curated, Nolinski is a place where your mind can unwind. There are no over-the-top entrances, no cameras waiting to capture a moment; it's luxury that's been edited to its essence: privacy, beauty, and breath. Mornings That Reconnect You to Yourself One of Nolinski's most powerful offerings is its Suspended Morning, a quiet moment paired with breakfast on the terrace of one's suite, beginning not with a to-do list, but with sunlight spilling gently into the space. It's the kind of start that feels almost ceremonial: the clink of porcelain, the hush of the waking city, the simple permission to sit with your coffee and just exist. For GCC travellers accustomed to structured productivity, this slow unfurling of the day is its own kind of luxury; a way to gently recalibrate the nervous system. The Golden Pool: A Place to Float, and Let Go Tucked atop the hotel is a pool like no other, lined with shimmering mosaic, wrapped in panoramic silence. But this isn't about swimming; it's about surrender. The water here doesn't just cool the skin, it lightens the spirit. In a culture that often celebrates motion, the stillness you find while floating here feels like an act of quiet rebellion. A chance to be held, weightless, above the rooftops of Venice. A Room That Becomes a Retreat Each suite is its own world. Designed not to impress but to embrace, with curated books, soft Murano glass, and diffused Venetian light. For a UAE traveller, used to polished symmetry and bold design, the textures here speak differently; they don't call attention—they call inward. There's a distinct emotional intelligence to the interiors. The kind that doesn't speak loudly, but stays with you long after you leave. Rituals That Heal, Not Just Pamper Taking private rituals into consideration, the hotel offers exclusive pampering sessions for each guest. Inside every suite, a myLEDmask by myBlend session invites guests into their own private rejuvenation ritual. No spa menus, no performance, just the quiet transformation. These small, intentional gestures are where Nolinski truly shines. Each one is a pause. A recalibration. A gentle reminder of who you are when no one's watching. A Venice You Can Finally Feel Beyond the walls of the hotel, Venice continues to surprise, if you let it. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection offers art that doesn't shout but stirs. A stroll through Calle Larga XXII Marzo feels more like a whispered conversation with craftsmanship than a shopping spree. Even the tiramisu at Il Caffè isn't dessert—it's memory, emotion, layers of nostalgia on a plate. Everything here is felt before it's understood. A Summer of Subtle Transformation Nolinski isn't where you go to escape life, it's where you go to return to yourself. For the GCC traveller who's seen the world, this is the journey inward. It's the summer where nothing needs to happen yet there's the underlying aura of quite change. No itinerary, no performance. Just a new way of being. Book your suite and discover Venice anew. Contact & Reservations The concierge team is at your service to arrange transfers, private visits, and reservations at your convenience.
