The Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab resort in Dubai has recently opened its doors to the public, providing a wealth of information for potential visitors.
Location of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab
The resort is situated on Dubai’s most exclusive beachfront and marks the completion of the city’s “nautical trilogy.” It joins the wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the iconic sail-shaped Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. As expected, the architecture of the new attraction reflects a similar maritime theme.
The Designers Behind the Futuristic Resort in Dubai
What Makes Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab Unique?
The resort has been meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of thrilling discovery from the moment of arrival: its sinuous forms gradually unveil varied vistas, and the dramatic arched entrance sets the stage for an engaging experience. The rooms and suites, which echo the architecture, feature interiors inspired by the legendary Italian Riva boats and exude a 1960s glamour. The essential details and curvaceous seating add a sporty air, while the golden beach color schemes are complemented by a palette of materials including marble, fine woods, structured fabrics, hand-blown crystal lamps, and silk carpets. Each room also boasts a spacious private terrace with ocean views. The suites are even more luxurious: the Presidential Suite includes a private pool; the Royal Suite appears to float on water and offers a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, capable of expanding into a multi-bedroom retreat; the Pearl Suite features a wrap-around terrace, a private kitchen, and can accommodate up to 80 guests.
The Restaurants at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab
The resort’s restaurants are scattered throughout the property, allowing guests to experience a variety of global cuisines in a true gastronomic journey. In total, there are eleven restaurants and four bars, including a Viennoiserie by renowned pastry chef Pierre Hermé in the Lobby Lounge. Notable venues include The Fore, an exciting new concept in Dubai that transforms throughout the day with four restaurants and a central cocktail bar. The experience begins with breakfast overlooking the ocean and the superyachts in the marina, transitions to Umi Kei, a Japanese restaurant inspired by the art of kintsugi (repairing with gold); followed by the Asian fusion eatery Madame Li, the Mediterranean brasserie Mirabelle, and The Bombay Club, a sophisticated tribute to Indian culinary heritage.
Other highlights in the hotel include Iliana, a Greek-Mediterranean restaurant with a pool club, private beach, and rooftop bar, perfect for a relaxing seaside dinner; Rialto, a Venetian restaurant, and Kinugawa, a contemporary Japanese restaurant with a French twist.

Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is a Sustainable Resort
Sustainability is at the core of the resort’s design. An advanced dual irrigation system optimizes water use, while the terraces are designed to reduce solar gain, cutting down energy consumption for cooling by up to 40%. The ecological landscaping further reduces the energy requirements. In line with Jumeirah’s commitment to the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, the resort has implemented cutting-edge NORDAQ water bottling systems that eliminate single-use plastics.
Other Highlights
For ultimate relaxation, resort guests have exclusive access to the Iliana Pool Club, a private oasis with cabanas and a secluded beach. Art lovers will appreciate the 300 artworks and 29 custom sculptures throughout the resort, as well as the spectacular light sculpture in the lobby, made with 1,500 hand-blown shell-shaped crystals from the Czech Republic. Additionally, yacht owners can take advantage of the Marsa Al Arab Marina, with 82 berths that can accommodate vessels up to 61 meters and features world-class maintenance facilities. Even if you’re not a yacht owner, the marina’s waterfront is worth a visit for its stunning views, cultural attractions, shops, and restaurants, where locals mingle with tourists.
