An icon, unveiled: In conversation with Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab's Harun Dursun

It's an architectural marvel of contemporary design, envisioned to look like a superyacht sailing serenely along the Arabian Gulf. But Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, the hotly anticipated Dubai resort that has commanded the attention of luxury travellers worldwide, is about much more than just striking aesthetics. With culture, meaning, thought and attention carved into each of its experiences, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab's wellness, culinary and leisure offering is here to create a league of its own. Managing director Harun Dursun talks us through the resort's visionary approach to luxury hospitality. The resort is one of the most exciting hotel openings of 2025, what makes it unique? Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is more than a hotel. It's a transformative lifestyle destination that completes our iconic nautical trilogy alongside Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. Situated on one of Dubai's most exclusive private peninsulas, it blends the sleek elegance of superyacht-inspired design with the warmth of Arabian hospitality. A key differentiator is how the resort integrates three dimensions: hotel, residences, and marina into a unified experience. As a place where hospitality, wellness, dining, and cultural connection converge, it's been thoughtfully designed as a modern global majlis – a meeting point for meaningful experiences. What truly sets us apart is our commitment to immersive and personalised experiences, whether it's our intuitive butler service, wellness journeys at the next-generation Talise Spa, or cultural programming with regional artists. Every element has been carefully considered to deliver not just luxury but meaningful moments of discovery. Why is Dubai the right city for a hotel of this calibre? Dubai is a city that celebrates ambition, innovation, and cultural exchange. It's a global hub that attracts discerning travellers who expect more than luxury, they seek experiences that are both enriching and extraordinary. Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab responds to that call. We're building on a legacy that began with the Burj Al Arab over 25 years ago, redefining what luxury hospitality means in this part of the world. As a homegrown brand, Jumeirah has grown alongside Dubai, helping to shape its global identity as a destination for world-class hospitality and bold, visionary design. How does Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab reflect the requirements of the new traveller in terms of wellness, personal service and immersive experiences? Today's luxury traveller doesn't just look for opulence, they seek meaningful, transformative experiences. Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab reflects this shift with a 360-degree approach to well-being, personalisation and cultural immersion. Our Talise Spa is a next-generation wellness destination spread across three floors, thoughtfully designed to support holistic well-being. At its core is Dubai's first Remedy Suite, which offers a curated menu of advanced treatments including Cryotherapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, ChromoSpace light therapies, and the iDome Infra-Red Triple Detox Treatment. These cutting-edge experiences are complemented by a 360-degree approach to wellness, integrating mindfulness, nutrition, and performance-driven fitness. Tell us a bit about one of your favourite places within the hotel? My favourite areas are the lobby lounges, which are intimate pockets framed by traditional mashrabiyas to evoke a sense of cultural richness and warmth. These spaces create small majlises for meaningful conversations, where guests feel as though they're in the comfort of their own home. This element exemplifies the spirit of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, blending innovation with local tradition and creating an atmosphere of familiarity and effortless elegance. What do you hope Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab brings to the luxury hotel scene that isn't already here? We've created a destination that redefines what luxury hospitality can be in this region. Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab brings together space, privacy, and storytelling in a way that is both contemporary and deeply rooted in heritage. It's not just about aesthetics or service, it's about creating a place where people from all walks of life come together to connect, share, and celebrate. Through our unique architecture, culinary innovation, and cultural collaborations, we're offering something dynamic and ever evolving. It's a place that sets a new benchmark—not by being louder, but by being more thoughtful. This is the discovery issue, what's one thing you hope people discover at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab? I hope people discover a sense of connection, whether it's to themselves through our wellness offerings, to others through our communal spaces and cultural moments, or to the surroundings through the immersive design that brings the beauty of the sea indoors. Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is full of quiet surprises. Every corner invites exploration, from the superyacht-inspired lines of the Royal Suite to the curated art in our public spaces. But more than anything, I hope guests discover how luxury today is about feeling present, seen and cared for—an experience we're proud to offer. @jumeirahmarsaalarab

10 bucket list UAE staycations every resident should do

From glamping spots that unroll along the Ras Al Khaimah mountains to ritzy resorts that have become statement pieces in Dubai's skyline, here are 10 tried-and-tested UAE staycations we think every UAE resident should do. The splashy new one: Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, Dubai Completing the oceanic-inspired trilogy Jumeirah first began creating with Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the Shaun Killa-designed resort resembles an avant-garde superyacht. Inside, the facilities mirror the wow factor, with almost a dozen restaurants ranging from haute Japanese fare at Kinugawa beach club to a taste of the Italian dolce vita at Rialto and Mediterrasian dining with a view at Kira. The three-floor Talise Spa offers next-level wellness and rejuvenation, while the Marsa Marina and promenade is a lovely spot to watch the yachts bobbing on the water. Insider tip: Splash out on a suite to get access to the exclusive adults-only Iliana pool club. Rates from Dhs1,575. The family one: Sandy Beach Resort, Fujairah A firm favourite with long-standing UAE residents, Sandy Beach Resort has long been the base of choice for families seeking a no-frills beach retreat, party people descending on the sand for the regular Snoopy Beats music festival, and watersports enthusiasts alike. Facing Fujairah's famed Snoopy Island, its stripped-back approach is part of the charm, and after checking in to one of the rooms or bungalows, head straight to the shorefront for a dip in the infinity pool, snorkel around Snoopy Island or sundowners with your toes in the sand. Insider tip: If you're serious about discovering the underwater world, head down to the Sandy Beach Dive Academy where PADI courses start from Dhs1,100. Rates from Dhs445. The nature one: Anantara Sir Bani Yas, Abu Dhabi Sir Bani Yas island makes for the sort of stuff staycation dreams are made of, with its beautiful beaches, expansive desert and nature reserve home to 14,000 animals. There's three Anantara resorts to choose from on the island. The wallet-friendly Desert Islands offers a traditional hotel experience and is best suited to families looking for a solid base to enjoy the island's best bits. Luxurious beach escapes are best enjoyed at Anantara Al Yamm resort, a 30-key all-villa sanctuary designed like a sleeping village. While recently reimaged Al Sahel resort with its pool villas overlooking local wildlife offers a unique safari-style staycation experience. Insider tip: The wildlife drive is a must for an out-of-Africa experience of spotting cheetah, giraffes, ostriches and Arabian Oryx. Rates from Dhs575. The desert one: The Ritz-Carlton, Al Wadi Desert, Ras Al Khaimah One of two luxurious Ritz-Carlton resorts in RAK, this desert retreat blends Bedouin traditions with five-star luxuries to create a retreat that feels worlds away from the city. Set amongst the beauty of a protected desert reserve, picturesque scenery and rich local heritage backdrop villas that come with private pools and gourmet dining that includes a seasonal Zuma pop-up and signature restaurant led by a Michelin-pedigree chef.. When you can tear yourself away from your villa, the desert activities range from horse riding and camel treks to wildlife drives, archery and stargazing. There's also the unique sensory Rainforest spa experience, where 16 different hydrothermal stations offer deep cleansing, muscle relaxation and stress reduction. Insider tip: Snag bicycles when you check-in and enjoy a sunset cycle along the track that wraps around the whole resort. Rates from Dhs1,862. The adventure one: Jais Explorer Camp, Ras Al Khaimah Picture this: a weekend out in the wild with a group of your closest friends or family exploring the mountainous area surrounding you. Wild goats are your neighbours, dinner is cooked up by your crew on the barbecue, and after toasting marshmallows you'll bed down in bunk beds in cosy containers out in the wild. That's what you'll find at Bear Grylls Explorer Camp, where your rustic retreat also means learning survival skills from lighting a fire to keeping calm under pressure. Insider tip: The camp operates seasonally, so May is the last month to make the most of unleashing your inner adventurer. Rates from Dhs400. The gourmet one: Atlantis The Royal, Dubai This glittering example of all-out Dubai luxury has become an international hospitality headliner thanks to its dazzling architecture, opulent interiors and expansive leisure offering. But it's the culinary array that makes it stand out. Some of the world's finest culinary minds have assembled at Atlantis The Royal, including Heston Blumenthal, Costas Spiliadis, Nobu Matsuhisa and Gaston Acurio. Soon, they'll also be joined by another culinary icon – New York's impossible-to-get-into Carbone, cementing the resort's status as the ultimate foodie destination. Insider tip: Don't miss sundowners at Seascapes, a secret bar on the beach where you can enjoy cocktails with your toes in the sand. Rates from Dhs2,271. The wellness one: Zoya Health & Wellbeing Resort, Ajman Priding itself as the region's first fully integrated wellness retreat, Zoya is Ajman's answer to an array of health and wellness concerns. Fusing holistic wellness with best-in-class medical practitioners, but yourself in the safe hands of the experts who can devise programs based on your goals, be it weight management, health optimisation or anti-ageing. The minimalistic space has been designed with peace and relaxation in mind, whether you're here simply to chill out in the natural surroundings or embark on a six-night detox program complete with body composition analysis, IV drips and massages. Insider tip: Their 'wellcation' package is the best place to start for those unsure of what they need, with full-board dining, oxygen therapy and a 30-minute massage included. Rates from Dhs470. The heritage one: The Chedi Al Bait, Sharjah In the UAE's cultural capital, The Chedi Al Bait embodies Arabian splendour. The 65-room hotel in the heart of the city is spread across seven heritage houses, each lovingly resorted as part of an ambitious preservation project. The former homes of distinguished local families have been enhanced with luxury touches befitting of a five-star hotel, while keeping the brand's historic design DNA. The resulting hotel is a refined take on traditional Emirati hospitality, where guests can take a trip through history at the museum, cosy up with a book in the library, and be pampered at the traditionally-inspired spa. Insider tip: Book one of the Khalid Ibrahim suites with a private plunge pool for the ultimate heritage-inspired sanctuary. Rates from Dhs579. The romantic one: Naama Beach Villas & Spa, Fujairah Unrolling against the backdrop of the Hajar Mountains and the Indian Ocean, Naama Beach Villas & Spa is upping the luxe for romantic retreats in Fujairah. The 44 villas are all finished in calming shades of caramel and cream and all come with private pools and jacuzzis – and even a steam room or sauna depending on your villa category, so you don't have to leave your digs should you not wish. Further relaxation awaits at the inviting main pool which gazes out to the sea, or the ESPA where wellness lovers can enjoy treatments like a salt stone massage. Insider tip: Those looking to up the ante can enhance their stay with a private dining experience in the gardens, by the beach, or served in-villa. Rates from Dhs4,140. The unique one: Casa Mikoko, Umm Al Quwain Part of the rustic, Zanzibar-inspired Kite Beach Centre is Casa Mikoko, a glamping experience of five chalets nestled within the UAQ mangroves. The chalets all come with thoughtful amenities like a tea and coffee bar, hairdryer and slippers, so it mirrors a hotel-style experience. Three of the five come with their own plunge pools, serving as a delightful spot to start the day. And all boast an African-inspired aesthetic and views over the calm waters that gives staycationers a tropical and instant on-holiday feel. Insider tip: Book one of the chalets with private pools and live like you're staying in the Maldives with an Instagrammable floating breakfast. Rates from Dhs1,200.

Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab review: Dubai's superyacht-style hotel combines sensational views with VIP touches

The long-awaited Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab has opened, completing the hotel chain's nautical trilogy – with the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Burj Al Arab – and nestling in beside four more sister properties within Madinat Jumeirah, all of which share 1.8km of beach. With 11 restaurants, three swimming pools (including one for VIPs and one that is adults-only), an 82-berth yacht marina, a three-storey spa and uninterrupted Burj Al Arab views, the 386-room hotel caters to Dubai's luxury clientele. Designed by Shaun Killa (the architect behind Dubai's Museum of the Future), the hotel resembles a superyacht. That said, its main design feature is probably its framing of the Burj Al Arab. The neighbouring hotel, one of the most enduring symbols of Dubai, dominates your view as you sweep in by car. It is then visible through floor-to-ceiling windows on the entire left-hand-side (or should that be port side?) of the lobby, which reaffirms the yacht-like feeling within the hotel. I was lucky enough to be checking into a suite, so a butler greeted me at reception (a service that comes as standard with the 86 suites at the hotel), and promptly relieved me of my bags, guiding me up to the room, where check-in was completed. Despite only opening a week before I stayed, the lobby was packed (a testament to how anticipated the launch was), and the hotel had a lively energy. The hotel's 386 rooms and suites are split into several categories – ranging from a Marina Deluxe Room to the five-bedroom Royal Suite. The latter has a private terrace, plunge pool, bar, games room and spa treatment room. The location of the hotel ensures that every room has a sea view, whether it is of the Arabian Gulf on one side, or the marina on the other. For our two-night stay, my partner and I enjoyed the luxury of an Ocean Deluxe Suite. The room is decorated in neutral stone tones, with hints of vibrant orange and cooling blues throughout. A long terrace, with a day bed and seating, is ideal for lounging and room service dining. Inside, the living room leads into a spacious bedroom, a generous walk-in wardrobe and the main bathroom, which has a bath and a rain shower, the latter being one of my highlights of the room. The minibar is also very impressive. Among the drinks and snacks, I was thrilled to see bars of Fix, the viral Dubai chocolate, available to buy (Dh80), as well as other local brands including Hunter crisps. Even though I have been living in Dubai for more than a decade, the Burj Al Arab never fails to put a smile on my face. As a result, most of my phone book received a photo of the hotel at sunset, which is the view that greeted me when I first walked into the room. I was also delighted by the uninterrupted view of the hotel from bed each morning. Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab has 11 restaurants, a lobby lounge boulangerie and three bars. During my stay, I tried six of the outlets. Greek restaurant Iliana was a highlight. I recommend sitting outside on the terrace and soaking up uninterrupted sea views as you dine on freshly prepared seafood. The scorpionfish orzo stew (market price) was fantastic. We also loved The Bombay Club, a modern Indian restaurant by chef Manav Tuli. The restaurant has stunning ornate interiors – think velvet chairs and peacock wallpaper. There is also a terrace with marina views. The guinea fowl samosas (Dh88) were a delicious take on the Indian snack. Do not expect a pastry pouch – these are served as an open cone, filled to the brim with warmly curried game meat. If you are there for a treat-yourself meal, order the tandoori lobster (Dh328). The whole-lobster dish was highly recommended by our waiter, and it was easy to see why. Served in the shell, the meat was succulent but well spiced, cooked for less than two minutes in the tandoori oven, we were told. High-end Venetian-Italian restaurant Rialto is perfect for a date night at the hotel. Start with a cocktail at the Rialto Bar opposite, then head to the Art Deco restaurant, where the pasta menu is the star of the show. Leave the hotel grounds, and you find yourself on the buzzing Marsa Al Arab Walk. A new waterside hotspot, there is a Salt burger restaurant and Japanese restaurant Cutfish. Wandering down the strip of restaurants and cafes, I felt like I was in Dubai's newest place to be seen. Breakfast is the highlight of a hotel stay for many, and Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is no exception. The hotel has taken a creative approach to all-day dining, using four of its restaurants – Umi Kei (a Japanese izakaya), Mirabelle (French-Mediterranean), Madame Li (pan-Asian) and The Bombay Club – to create The Fore. During the day, dividing walls come down and the lighting changes to make the space almost unrecognisable from the night-time eateries, and breakfast is served across the four outlets. There are buffet dishes, classic international offerings, and at the table you can order a la carte eggs and warm dishes. The masala dosa was sensational. The lavish breakfast diner can order lobster Benedict or caviar-topped soft-boiled eggs. The more traditional French toast, waffles, shakshuka and eggs your way are also available. The Talise wellness centre is spread over three floors, with a well-equipped gym (which offers group classes that are free to hotel guests), a 20-metre indoor pool, female-only treatment rooms (including a hammam) and couples treatment rooms. There is also a menu of technology-focused wellness treatments, including cryotherapy, ChromoSpace light treatments and a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. I had a 90-minute Grounding Ritual full-body massage (Dh1٬150), which started with a foot bath and used Ground Wellbeing products from Ireland. The massage was firm but relaxing, ironing out my many knots from terrible desk posture. My therapist used a set of cards to set my intentions for the day (a nice grounding touch) and sent me away with a menu of products she recommends and general tips for healthy living. Note to self: drink more water. Away from the spa and restaurants, pool and beach activities will keep you busy. There is an enormous resort pool, while the adults-only one is catered for by high-end Japanese restaurant Kinugawa. A nice feature for VIP guests: Iliana Pool Club is reserved for suite guests only, with a selection of private cabanas and poolside loungers. We did not stay with children, but there is a lot to keep kids busy. The main pool is stocked with flower-shaped floats and has fountains to paddle under. There is also a Family Club, which caters for children aged three to 10. At breakfast, I noticed a creative kids menu, which included cereal baked to look like mini pancakes or cookies, which came with flavoured milk, including chocolate cake and hazelnut options. It was clearly popular, as I saw plenty of children emerging from the buffet with mini flavoured milk bottles. Most of the room categories can accommodate two adults with two children under 12. A stay at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab does not come cheap, but the service and finishing throughout the hotel reflect the price. The average room rate starts at Dh4,650 per night. This review was conducted at the invitation of the resort and reflects standards during this time. Services may change in the future

New 7-star hotel in Dubai? Marsa Al Arab 'beyond conventional classifications'

Dubai's iconic sail-shaped Burj Al Arab is popularly known as the only 7-star hotel in the world. Its recently opened neighbour, the yacht-inspired Marsa Al Arab, however, 'goes beyond conventional classification", its managing director told Khaleej Times. In an interview, Harun Dursun, said: 'Rather than focusing on star ratings, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is a luxury lifestyle destination that goes beyond conventional classifications. The hotel embodies the pinnacle of service, design, and curated experiences, offering an unmatched level of hospitality, personalisation, wellness, and culinary innovation." Dubai is witnessing a good supply of uber luxury hotels. In 2024, according to Cavendish Maxwell, almost 70 per cent of room supply fell in the high-end category. Of the upcoming supply for 2025, nearly 70 per cent will be in the luxury and upper upscale segment. The opening of Marsa Al Arab Hotel next to sail-shaped Burj Al Arab and wave-inspired Jumeirah Beach Hotel is the final chapter in Jumeirah Group's nautical trilogy, adding a new mark to Dubai's hospitality market. 'Jumeirah is building on its strong legacy in luxury hospitality, which began with Jumeirah Beach Hotel in 1997, followed by Burj Al Arab in 1999 — the iconic symbol of Dubai. Completing this nautical trilogy on Dubai's most exclusive beachfront, Marsa Al Arab further enhances our portfolio,' he added. The hotel, he said, plays 'a key role in our strategy to create vibrant communities by seamlessly integrating residences, hospitality, and retail spaces". The property features 386 rooms and suites, including the Royal Suite, each with a private terrace. Since opening on March 14, he added, it has been met with incredible enthusiasm. Designed by Shaun Killa, the architect behind the Museum of the Future and the Dubai Opera, the hotel's design maximises light, space, and indoor-outdoor living. The hotel has partnered with UAE-based artists — Feryal Al Bastaki, Alreem Al Mansoori, and Nadine Kanso — to bring local artistry to life within the resort. In terms of sustainability, the property has been designed with self-shading terraces to reduce energy consumption, greywater recycling for irrigation, and energy-efficient lighting. Spanning an exclusive private peninsula, the resort has a dedicated marina, a collection of luxurious residences and retail. F&B options Guests have access to 11 curated dining experiences and four destination bars. 'A standout concept is The Fore, a multi-restaurant venue that transforms throughout the day, featuring four distinct dining experiences — Umi Kei, Madame Li, Mirabelle and Michelin star chef-led, The Bombay Club — as well as a sophisticated central bar,' said Dursun. Other highlights include Rialto, an Italian restaurant celebrating the glamour of Italy's Golden Age in the 1950s, Iliana, a Myconian-inspired beachside retreat, contemporary Japanese Kinugawa, Commodore Club, Orizonta, The Cullinan, Kira, in addition to the Marsa Al Arab Marina Promenade, which features six casual dining restaurants and bars. Spanning three floors, The Talise Spa features a female-only floor, 13 treatment suites with private terraces, a 20-metre indoor pool, and a fitness studio. 'What I think truly sets us apart is the integration of cutting-edge technology with wellness. Our Remedy Suite, for instance, features four technology-driven therapies such as Cryotherapy, ChromoSpace light treatments, the iDome Infra-Red Triple Detox Treatment, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber,' he said. Dursun added that each guest's stay is made memorable through personalised experiences. "Our dedicated butler service allows guests to customise their stay in Dubai based on their interests, reflecting our deep commitment to Arabian hospitality.' "Dubai is a city that thrives on reinvention, and Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is perfectly positioned to lead that charge in the hospitality scene. The journey has only just begun, and I am excited to see how we continue to shape and challenge extraordinary guest experiences that set new benchmarks in luxury for those seeking the finer things in life,' he concluded.

Dubai: Superyacht-inspired Marsa Al Arab now open; rates from Dh6,100 to Dh20,425

Dubai's highly-anticipated superyacht-inspired Marsa Al Arab is now open. The lifestyle destination completes the Jumeirah group's nautical trilogy, along with the wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the iconic sail-shaped Burj Al Arab. According to its operator, the resort will 'redefine ultra-luxury hospitality'. With 386 rooms and suites, 82 serviced residences, and an 82-berth superyacht marina, the hotel also features an immersive spa, a collection of restaurants, and indoor and outdoor pools. The hotel's room rates start from Dh6,100 for a 110sqm marina deluxe room and go up to Dh20,425 for a 359sqm ocean grand terrace suite over the next week. The rates will likely go up during the Eid Al Fitr break. The ultra-luxurious hotel also allows visitors to select a pearl, presidential and royal suite. For those with big families, there is the 1048sqm five-bedroom royal suite that sleeps 20 people. Equipped with a large wrap-around terrace and a private plunge pool, the suite comes complete with a separate entertaining area, a jacuzzi bathtub with Burj Al Arab views, a private gym, and a telescope for stargazing. The price for this suite has not been revealed. The marina The Marsa Al Arab Marina offers a yachting experience along Dubai's coastline. With 82 berths accommodating yachts up to 61 metres, the marina provides several facilities, including full maintenance and fuelling services. Featuring homegrown dining concepts, retail stores, and sophisticated suites, it invites locals and visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of the sea. Design Designed by acclaimed architect Shaun Killa - whose firm also designed the Museum of the Future — the resort features a superyacht-inspired aesthetic that draws on the looks and features of some of the world's finest yachts. Other interior design features include marble-clad surfaces, organic wood, soft-edged seating, handcrafted silk carpets, hand-blown crystal lights, and textured fabrics. The rooms are inspired by Italy's legendary Riva boats, featuring 60s glamour and expansive terraces. Residences Jumeirah Residences Marsa Al Arab offers a collection of 82 one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes. Much like the hotel room, each residence features expansive terraces, well-crafted interiors, and access to all hotel amenities. Ranging from 79sqm to 229sqm, these spaces provide views of the marina, ocean, or the iconic Burj Al Arab. The lobby is adorned with a chandelier of over 1,500 hand-blown seashell-shaped crystals from the Czech Republic's renowned Crystal Valley. It is complemented by over 300 curated artworks and 29 sculptures throughout the resort. Dining The hotel features 11 dining experiences and four bars, the most exciting of which is the new-to-Dubai transformative concept The Fore. In the morning, the eatery offers a breakfast experience with views of the Burj Al Arab and the superyacht marina. Through the day, it transforms into four destination restaurants and a central bar. The resort also welcomes a Viennoiserie by internationally renowned pastry chef Pierre Hermé in the Lobby Lounge. Other restaurants include Umi Kei — a Japanese restaurant inspired by the art of kintsugi, where broken objects are repaired with gold; Madame Li - An Asian fusion venue, inspired by a well-travelled woman whose handwritten recipes tell a story of discovery and tradition; and The Bombay Club - an Indian eatery curated by Michelin-starred Chef Manav Tuli. Visitors to the facility can also enjoy Iliana, a Greek Mediterranean retreat with a pool club, private beach, and a rooftop bar. Other amenities Other amenities of the resort include the Talise spa, Jumeirah's signature wellness concept. Spanning over three floors, this features a 20-metre indoor pool, a fitness studio, a gym, and female-only spaces, as well as 13 treatment suites. It offers advanced treatments, including the Remedy Suite, which features technology-driven therapies like Cryotherapy, ChromoSpace light treatments, the iDome Infra-Red Triple Detox Treatment, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber. The dedicated Family Club at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, offers a space for young guests aged between 3 to 10. The resort has partnered with local and international artists, galleries, and museums. Initiatives like the 'artist in residence' programme provide platforms for chefs and creatives to inspire guests.
