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.

“A staycation of dreams!!!”

Mar 31, 2026ghizlan g

i spent 2 nights at marsa al arab and it is by far one of the best experiences i have had. it was a staycation as we live in Dubai yet we felt like we had been on a vacation out of the country. Everything from the STUNNING ocean view suite, amenities, the impeccable service (Arbaz was our butler and he was FANTASTIC) made our stay a dream. And the restaurants at Marsa Al Arab are some of the best in Dubai hands down.. Having been in Dubai for decades, Madame Li is without a doubt the best chinese in town.. Iliana is an incredible greek (sit outside when the weather is nice), Rilato is truly an authentic italian.. so elegant and elevated.. and KinuGawa is a hidden gem if you want a chilled lunch by the beach & great suchi.. staying here is an absolute no brainer, in love with this hotel and everything about it.

“Birthday Visit”

Mar 28, 2026John A

A fourth great stay at this fantastic property. Although a large resort it feels like a boutique hotel, where everyone greets you either by name or with a smile. Nothing is too much for the staff or management, especially the Butler team who go above and beyond whenever possible. Restaurants of particular mention are Rialto and Iliana, although Cullinan has provided some outstanding experiences in the past. Looking forward to our next visit which we have extended based again upon this experience as well as previously. Probably the best hotel in Dubai, for professionalism of staff, service, facilities and atmosphere

“Exceptional hotel with exceptional service”

Mar 27, 2026essa a

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and truly enjoyed every moment. The property itself is beautiful, clean, and very well maintained, with a relaxing atmosphere that made our trip even more special. What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service. A special thank you to Kaung, who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. From the warm welcome to the attentive assistance during our visit, Kaung’s professionalism and kindness did not go unnoticed.
