Jumeirah’s Best Luxury Hotels

Named after the coastal area of Dubai with its origins in the word ‘jumr’, meaning hot charcoal, Jumeirah is one of the world’s foremost luxury hotel brands, known particularly for its upmarket dining and its award-winning own-brand Talise spa. We’ve looked at some of its fabulous properties, both in Dubai and further afield.

This late-2021 addition to the Jumeirah fold embraces a sleek, contemporary aesthetic that sets it apart from many other resorts in this tropical destination, in chic beach and overwater villas with infinity pools and expansive roof terraces. As well as the usual Maldivian activities of diving and snorkelling, there’s beach volleyball, daily yoga, underwater photography, coconut oil making and an array of other options, plus a spa, a kids’ club, outdoor cinema, and restaurants including award-winners Shimmer and Kayto.
