Three Luxury Hotels to Open on Palm Jumeirah
March 23, 2010
Located along Palm Jumeirah's trunk and crescent, the hotels from a series of different operators and developers will join Atlantis, The Palm, currently the sole hotel, offering visitors a broader choice. The launch of these hotels represents Dubai's ongoing commitment to promote tourism growth in the region, with prestigious developments continuing to open to international acclaim despite the tough global economic climate.
First to open will be the Zabeel Saray by Rixos (originally named Ottoman Palace) which will welcome guests in the second quarter of 2010. Zabeel has been built on a grand scale with 410 rooms, as well as a series of suites. In addition, the development will house 38 exquisitely designed residential villas with owners able to take advantage of the resort's outstanding facilities. These villas will range in size between four to five bedrooms. Facilities are set to be second to none, and include a true Turkish delight the Middle East's largest authentic Hammam spa which stands at some 8,500 square metres inviting guests to enjoy a range of Turkish treatments with a modern twist.
Moving further East, the Asian-inspired, lagoon-wrapped The Royal Amwaj Resort & Spa from Moevenpick Hotels & Resorts will open on the north-eastern crescent of Palm Jumeirah in October 2010. The 293-room, six restaurant resort sits on the serene shores of the Arabian Gulf. In keeping with the concept of an island-style resort, Moevenpick Hotels & Resorts has decided to introduce a pre-paid, all-inclusive offering incorporating all guest dining - both food and beverage. The offer will have the value-inclusion of a club concept meaning that guests will be able to dispense with carrying around their wallets with no nasty surprises on check-out! It is likely that three different bundles will be available at the point of booking, ranging from dining at The Royal Amwaj Resort & Spa to enjoying dinner at over 20 outlets across four of their other properties throughout Dubai.
Food and drink aside, The Royal Amwaj Resort & Spa will also offer a Balinese Spa Island with 25 treatment rooms and a collection of villas. 18 of these will perch on stilts just metres above the water with a further 15 beachfront villas with their own chilled pools.
One&Only The Palm is due to open in October 2010 with a blend of Moorish and Andalucian influences. Surrounded by lush landscaped gardens, the resort will provide an oasis of tranquillity amid cosmopolitan Dubai.
Comprising 100 keys, guest accommodation at this intimate resort is composed of 35 suites and apartments within the grand Manor House, six independent low-rise mansions with eight to ten suites and exclusive two and three bedroom beachfront villas. The Grand Palm Suite will occupy 350 square metres on the top floor overlooking the 850 square metres pool or the resorts private harbour.
The resort will feature an over water restaurant and also a restaurant with live cooking stations. The freestanding spa and fitness complex will be a 2400 square metre area offering rejuvenating treatments and state-of-the-art fitness equipment.
The final project to open within this phase is Jumeirah Al Fattan which is expected to welcome guests by the end of this year. Located on the right tip of the Crescent, with the prestigious Burj Al Arab in the background, the five-star resort will house a hotel, serviced apartments and private residences. Overlooking the Arabian Gulf, guests will be encouraged to relax in the grounds, visit the beach club, set sail from the marina or wallow in the spa retreat.
Projected 2011 hotel openings include The Emerald Palace Kempinski Dubai, a 320-room luxury property with a 3000 square metre spa, the 178-room Oceana Hotel & Spa located opposite the Golden Mile Shopping Boulevard, and Fairmont Palm Jumeirah situated on the prime southwest side of the 'Trunk' portion.
