J1 Beach partners with D-Marin to Launch Anchorage Experience
Dubai's premier beachfront destination, J1 Beach by Merex Investment, now offers guests the opportunity to arrive by sea, introducing a new way to embrace the Riviera lifestyle in the heart of the city. In collaboration with D-Marin, the region's leading marina network, visitors can now sail directly to one of the city's most talked-about destinations, where global flavours, iconic concepts, and beachside luxury await.
This new arrival experience is made possible through the launch of the J1 Beach Anchorage Zone, allowing private yacht owners and charter guests to anchor offshore and be seamlessly welcomed ashore. Operated by D-Marin – who manage five premium marinas across Dubai – this service enhances access while upholding world-class standards of comfort and hospitality.
Situated along the vibrant coastline, J1 Beach is home to 13 celebrated licensed restaurants and beach clubs, each bringing distinct flavours from across the globe – whether it's the refined tastes of the French Riviera, the vibrancy of Tulum, or the flair of New York. The destination blends sun-drenched relaxation with culinary excellence, setting a new benchmark for day-to-night dining in Dubai.
Among the standout venues is Kaimana Beach, a Pan Asian cuisine concept with an Island flair. With its dreamy tropical atmosphere, the restaurant delivers bold Pan Asian flavours through signature dishes like Oxtail Siamin Dumplings, Saikyo Miso Cod Skewers, Hamachi Truffle with crispy potato shavings, and an island-inspired Beef Cheek Loco Moco. While the poolside area caters exclusively to adults, the beach facilities welcome families, ensuring the space offers something for every guest.
For those looking to charter a yacht, a variety of premium providers are available – including BENO, a luxury mobility brand renowned for its expertly designed superyachts and tailored onboard experiences. With vessels like the 115-foot Santorini – combining advanced marine technology with elegant finishes – the journey to J1 Beach becomes as special as the destination itself.
More than just a place to dine, J1 Beach unites culinary excellence, beachfront luxury, and world-class service in one unforgettable experience. From poolside lounging to energetic nightlife, it's a destination where guests can explore, unwind, and savour life with sophistication and ease.

Guntermann & Drunck and VuWall launch VisionVS
VisionVS combines G&D's Vision product line of dedicated, high-performance KVM and KVM-over-IP solutions with VuWall's VuStream IP encoding technology. Guntermann & Drunck (G&D), in partnership with its sister company VuWall, has announced the launch of VisionVS, a compact dual-encoding appliance designed to transform control room operations by merging video wall visualisation and KVM control into a single, streamlined solution. This innovation promises to simplify system integration, improve deployment efficiency, and enhance round-the-clock operational performance across demanding control environments. Andreas Gerlach, EVP of Innovation at VuWall and G&D, said: 'VisionVS marks a significant advancement in control room technology. By merging the strengths of VuWall's video wall visualization technology and G&D's world-class KVM capabilities, we're delivering a solution that simplifies integration, accelerates deployments, and ensures reliable 24/7 operations. It's a game-changer for both integrators and end-users.' The VisionVS appliance integrates G&D's Vision KVM systems with VuWall's VuStream IP encoding technology. It captures video from KVM sources and simultaneously transmits two separate streams: a high-quality G&D bluedec stream directed to G&D KVM matrix systems, and a proprietary VuWall stream delivered to PAK processors for video wall display, remote access or operator stations. This dual-streaming capability ensures pixel-perfect visuals with near-zero latency, while also enabling content to be efficiently shared across remote sites. The result is a significant reduction in required hardware, cabling, and components, streamlining control room architecture. Technically versatile, VisionVS supports both fiber and copper connectivity and is equipped with a DisplayPort DP1.1 input and loop-through HDMI 1.4 output, each supporting resolutions up to 4096×2160 at 30Hz or 2560×1600 at 60Hz. Both encoded streams offer full encryption and up to 4:4:4 color fidelity, delivering high-quality visual output with minimal bandwidth consumption. By reducing installation components and simplifying real-time signal distribution, VisionVS empowers integrators to compress project timelines and lower long-term support costs. Meanwhile, end-users in mission-critical environments — such as emergency response centers, security operations, transportation hubs, and process control facilities — gain immediate access to vital information through a more intuitive and responsive control room setup. With VisionVS, G&D and VuWall are setting a new standard for integrated control room systems, offering a powerful, unified solution that meets the growing demands for efficiency, flexibility, and reliability in modern operational environments.

Calling All Artists: Make The InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort Your Muse
How an artist's retreat allows nature's true beauty to surface at Intercontinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort When you fall in love with a destination, there is something special in then sharing that experience with someone else – as you get a chance to witness the magic through their eyes all over again. I've been fortunate to visit the Maldives many times, but never in the company of an artist. This is something InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort in Raa Atoll is exploring with its Artist in Residence series as a way to build strong cross-cultural connections with the Middle East, whilst inviting guests to explore the paradisiacal archipelago through the eyes of an artist. Recently, Dubai-based Lebanese artist Kristel Bechara spent a week on the island creating a painting inspired by the island's natural beauty, its wildlife and ongoing conservation efforts. Her piece, entitled The Silent Dance, captures the incredible magnetism of the Maldives' marine life as a chromatic Manta ray gliding through a monochrome ocean. Joining Kristel for art workshops and exclusive live art classes where we unleashed our own creative instincts on canvas, allowed an entirely new perception of the Maldives to take shape. While the islands are, by default, undeniably appealing, when you're looking to put pencil to paper you notice things on a more acute level. Not just the blue of the sea, but the exact moment one hue bleeds into the next; how each palm frond moves singularly in the breeze creating light and shadow play; how the sun alters the entire character of the island depending on where it sits in the sky. And through this, a new interpretation of the same place. An artist's impression where the Maldives is the muse. Naturally, a beautiful backdrop lends itself to artistic expression and InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort doubles down on agrarian allure. Five-star, yes, but much more raw and organic in its approach to luxury. The island is smaller than many, but all the better for it. Buggies are rendered almost obsolete, as bikes and walkways take you everywhere you'll need to go. Namely to the villas, that are either overwater or beachfront, all with private pools. Designed by Avalon Collective, the interiors looked to the 'musafir' (Arabic for traveller) for inspiration, with modern, open- plan interpretations of a nomadic free-spirit, where the space is left open, absent of internal walls to convey a true sense of freedom. Nature is all around: from the reef sharks that swim in the shallow waters and the kaleidoscopic house reef to the towering greenery that envelops the island. Climb The Lighthouse at dusk or dawn for the best views of the island. Make a night of it too at its restaurant, with grilled artichokes, local fish and seafood paella served over the sea. Or, grab a table by the water at Fish Market for dinner under the stars. Manta ray and dolphin-watching excursions should almost be mandatory they are so special. Nothing on earth beats seeing these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat – silently dancing, wild and free.
