Jumeirah Al Naseem opens its doors on 1 December 2016, bringing a contemporary architectural twist to its sister properties within Madinat Jumeirah Resort, and a guest experience focused on a journey of discovery through the modern culture of Dubai.
The final chapter of the multi-award winning Madinat Jumeirah – ‘the Arabian Resort of Dubai’ – also marks the completion of Jumeirah Group’s transformation of two kilometres of coastline into a major tourist destination.
This process began in 1997 with the opening of Jumeirah Beach Hotel and continued with the iconic Burj Al Arab Jumeirah and Madinat Jumeirah.
“The last year has been a fascinating journey of planning and preparation for the opening of Jumeirah Al Naseem,” said Richard Alexander, General Manager, Jumeirah Al Naseem.
“In being given the challenge of writing the final chapter in the story of Madinat Jumeirah, we didn’t just want to create a 430-room beachfront hotel – we wanted to bring a wave of vibrancy that matches the energy of Dubai.
“We have been given a wonderful opportunity to marry a spectacular beach front location with a contemporary architectural twist on our sister properties and Jumeirah’s legendary service, and to showcase the best that this dynamic, energetic and visionary city has to offer. Both in the interior and exterior design, and in the creation of the guest experience, we have been led by our concept of ‘Al Bait Baitak’, meaning ‘make yourself at home’.”
Arabic for ‘sea breeze’, the name ‘Al Naseem’ reflects both the unrivalled beach location of the hotel and the unique design of the guest rooms and hotel features, which evokes a sense of calm and relaxation. The interior décor of the 430 rooms is inspired by sea breeze, sand dunes, Dubai’s pearl diving heritage and Bedouin traditions. The large open plan bathrooms have large sliding doors for privacy and spacious walk in showers inspired by Arabic hammams. The balconies and extended terraces offer spectacular views of the sea, the resort’s landscaped gardens and swimming pools, and Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. Rooms with extended terraces enable guests to relax outside and in the summer months the doors can be closed to create an extended living space.
The hotel is located so close to the water that the sounds of the sea reach guest rooms, open terraces and outdoor restaurants.
The resorts’ standout features include:
A secluded adult only pool surrounded by rooms with direct pool access
Purpose built turtle lagoon for rehabilitating critically endangered turtles
43 suites comprising 12 Family Suites, 28 Ocean Suites, two Presidential Suites and one 500 square metre Royal Suite
Seven restaurants and bars linked by the Arabian Explorer theme
A further four restaurants have been given to third-party partners and surround the turtle lagoon, creating a mini-social hub within the hotel’s grounds: New York favourite Black Tap, which offers artisan burgers and shakes; Il Borro Tuscan Bistro Dubai, the first outpost of Il Borro in Tuscany, which is an estate owned by the Ferragamo family; the Philippe Starck-designed Japanese Katsuya and the popular Dubai-grown brand Flamingos by Tasha’s. The restaurants will open over the coming weeks.
