A guide to experiencing the iconic Jumeirah Burj Al Arab

An icon reinvented

You’ve likely seen its sail-shaped silhouette in skyline photos of Dubai, but the real magic happens inside. Burj Al Arab is part of the Jumeirah Icons Collection, a group of hotels celebrated for their spectacular design and guest experiences. Constructed on its very own island just off Dubai’s coastline, the hotel is a spectacle of engineering and luxury. Inside, there’s no such thing as ‘standard accommodation’. Every suite is a duplex, designed to feel like your personal palace in the sky. Add in the private butler service and it’s clear that Burj Al Arab is more than just a hotel.

Dining delights with a view

Meals at Burj Al Arab are made with such care, they feel like culinary art. You’ll find an impressive selection of dining options that cater to all kinds of tastes. For a meal that feels larger than life, head to Al Muntaha, the Michelin-starred hotspot on the 27th floor. The innovative dishes are as stunning as the panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf. Seeking something more relaxed? The Sal Beach Club serves up Mediterranean-inspired plates with a side of calmness. Think fresh seafood, light salads, and poolside vibes. It’s the kind of spot where even a quick bite feels special.

A haven for wellbeing

The Talise Spa redefines what it means to pamper yourself. You’ll find treatment rooms that seem to float over the Arabian Gulf, offering the perfect backdrop for relaxation. From invigorating massages to bespoke wellness rituals, everything here is designed to leave you feeling refreshed in body and mind. There's also a touch of luxury for pool lovers, with both a female-only and a mixed indoor infinity pool, so you can take a dip with complete comfort..

Fitness enthusiasts are well taken care of too. Talise Fitness caters to every workout style, whether you’re into yoga, cardio, or strength training. And the views from the gym? They might just make you forget the intense workout burn.

The most epic suites

The hotel’s suites are set over two levels, combining contemporary design with exceptional comfort. From marble-clad bathrooms to sweeping views of the sea or city, every little detail is designed with thought and flair.

For a stay that’s truly unforgettable, the Panoramic Suites offer an extraordinary experience. Their loft-style design and towering two-story floor-to-ceiling windows allow for breathtaking views of the shoreline and endless sea, making every moment one to remember. Thoughtful touches like Hermes perfumes and luxurious toiletries for him and her ensure every guest feels pampered.
