This veritable Arabian mini-city was inspired by an Arabian citadel and brings together the Jumeirah Al Qasr (a palatial property inspired by ‘1001 Nights’), Jumeirah Al Naseem (a cool contemporary retreat with the closest rooms to the beach), Jumeirah Mina A’Salam (a boutique retreat also just steps from the beach,) Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf with its traditional summerhouses lining the resort’s calm gardens and waterways, and the super-exclusive Jumeirah Malakiya Villas (just seven of them, with 2-3 bedrooms perfect for reuniting with family or friends, private terraces overlooking the waterways, and private pools).
Between them, these have more than 50 restaurants – truly something to suit all tastes and moods, and embracing some of the finest dining in Dubai. One of the highlights of any stay at the resort are the Vintage Brunches, accompanied by live music and free-flowing drinks, hosted every Saturday at numerous venues across the resort including Pad Thai with its ancient Thai flavours, Zheng He’s with its dim sum and French Riviera with its menu by a Michelin-starred chef.
Some venues also host decadent afternoon teas for that perfect pause in your day. The award-winning afternoon teas at the Fayrooz Lounge at Jumeirah Al Qasr include exotic blends of tea and innovative twists on savoury bites and sweet pastries using Arabian ingredients including rose and pistachio. Alternatively, indulge in a classic British afternoon tea at the Al Mandhar Lounge at Jumeirah Al Naseem, including scones, jam and clotted cream.
