Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab | Dubai, United Arab Emirates | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

5 stars

If Dubai does anything well, it’s going big. And Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab? She’s the new show-off on the shoreline, a superyacht-inspired stunner that’s basically sailed straight into the luxury league. Sitting on its own private peninsula with the Burj Al Arab as its glamorous neighbour, this is the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve made it the second you walk in. Every room and suite comes with floor-to-ceiling views and a private terrace, because of course they do. Whether you’re gazing out to the Arabian Gulf or the iconic Burj, the scenery here genuinely gives screensavers an inferiority complex. Think sleek lines, soft lighting, and interiors that whisper luxury without screaming it. There’s a private beach made for lazy days, four sparkling pools, and a glamorous marina that looks straight out of a glossy travel mag. If switching off is your love language, head for the three-storey Talise Spa. It’s big, it’s beautiful, and it’s one of Dubai’s newest wellness hotspots, prepare to float out feeling like someone pressed your personal reset button. From chic dinners overlooking the water to poolside bites that hit the spot, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab isn’t playing around when it comes to food. Expect world flavours, big flavours, and menus that tempt even the “I’ll just have something light” holiday-goers. One thing’s for sure: nobody’s going home hungry.

“Ideal City Break”

Feb 08, 2026Sargahaz

We had the perfect mini break in the city, and were so well taken care of at the Marsa Al Arab. A special shout out to Kaung, who accommodated and executed our last minute requests with such finesse and professionalism. The entire Al Marsa team made this holiday feel like a home away from home and we leave with giant smiles and fab memories of a well rested stay.

“Marsa Al Arab – I Will Return”

Feb 07, 2026Lucas M

Second time staying at Marsa Al Arab and once again, everything was impeccable. From the warm welcome to the excellent service and overall comfort, the attention to detail truly stands out. A hotel that consistently delivers a flawless experience. I will definitely return.

“Wannabe luxury that misses the mark”

Feb 07, 2026Anna B

Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is a sprawling complex with the hotel, residences, spa, and countless restaurants. It has gold fixtures in the bathroom and big chandeliers, hinting at the opulence suggested in the price of the rooms. We stayed in a suite and had many problems: an inexperienced butler who only spoke to us once (while also talking on the phone to someone else), inadequate housekeeping with dirty sheets upon arrival and lots of dust and mold in the room, and an ongoing issue of them entering our room multiple times daily—even if the do not disturb light is on—to close our blackout curtains so they can save on the AC bills (in February). Forget trying to get rest or privacy in the room. The location is tricky because while it’s right at the beach and we have a lovely view of the Burj Al Arab, there is so much poorly coordinated traffic and it is difficult to get in or out of the hotel—especially on the weekend. I can’t really find anything positive to say about the hotel. I know I won’t be coming back.
