Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab – slated for Q4 of 2024 – has a design inspired by Dubai’s futuristic superyachts. Its unique design cleverly recreates the sense of being in water through the property’s curvatures…
The highly anticipated Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab in Dubai is set to re-define the hospitality scene, with a bold design by award-winning architect Shaun Killa. Completing an oceanic trilogy of iconic hotels, with Jumeirah Beach Hotel representing the wave and Jumeirah Burj Al Arab as the sail, Killa took inspiration from the soft elegant lines of a superyacht, and recreates the sense of being in water through the building’s curvatures. The way the hotel slopes effortlessly represents a dynamic movement – much like a superyacht going out to sea.

Boasting its very own 82-berths D-Marin marina at the tip of a peninsula, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is nestled at the heart of Dubai’s largest private beach, and features 385 rooms and suites, and 82 exclusive residences. Cleverly following the contour of the property, this collection of premium accommodations boasts floor-to-ceiling glass windows, which are retractable and frame 180° views of neighbouring Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, surrounding marina, and the Arabian Gulf. The hotel’s rooms feature exceptional bathrooms with a view; spacious walk-in closets; and contemporary interiors.

Set amid lush, landscaped gardens, the hotel comprises opulent cabana areas and pavilions for ultimate privacy. The resort’s spectacular swimming spots include a spacious pool perfect for families; an adults only pool; Mykonian pool club and a panoramic pool situated within impressive double-height ceiling wellness area – once again with unforgettable views of Jumeirah Burj Al Arab.
Killa, whose Dubai-based architectural firm created some of the city’s most interesting buildings such as Museum of the Future and Dubai Opera, said: “For the design of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab we wanted something which surpassed expectations of what supreme luxury can mean for the affluent traveller. With the new hotel’s ergonomic superyacht design, I think we have achieved that goal. There has been particular attention paid to elevating the guest journey and seamlessly connecting them to the distinctly unique experiences available throughout the resort. Each part of the resort has been designed for the ultimate bespoke comfort and enjoyment of guests, with unparalleled exclusivity and privacy.”
