Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab
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.

“Beautiful property with good food”
Dec 25, 2025rashadnasir
Beautiful new property in Dubai. The property smells luxe the minute you enter, and the grounds and views were gorgeous.
Our room showed a couple signs of wear (curtains and floors) which was odd for such a new property, but overall was excellent.
The views were slightly marred by ongoing construction across Dubai, but that’s what you’ll see no matter where you go — cranes.
The breakfast spread was excellent, and service was mostly good. The restaurants on the property were also excellent - Kira isn’t affiliated directly but is a stone’s throw away, and the food was awesome. The Bombay Club was also great.
At $3k+ per night during this season, you’d expect an in-person walkthrough of the room’s amenities and more personal butler service… but that’s not offered here. Maybe it would be on request.
The e-butler was fine. They got whatever I needed done, done correctly.
There is buggy service to all the other Jumeirah restaurants and facilities in this area. Shimmers in particular was excellent.
The price point may be steep for some if you are comparing it to other “5 star resorts” in Dubai, but it really is a cut above the rest.
“The best of the best”

I can not praise anyone at the hotel high enough during my stay. Truly the best of the best service I have ever experience.
“Gorgeous property, great place to stay in Dubai”

This property is just gorgeous and the employees are very friendly and attentive. The breakfast buffet was over the top excellent. Although we didn’t dine on site for dinner, there were plenty of choices had we done so. The butler service is a nice add.
