A paradise of endless delights at JA The Resort Dubai

Between them, JA Beach Hotel, JA Lake View Hotel, and JA Palm Tree Court have eight temperature-controlled pools – half of them with swim-up bars – a splash park and splash pad, a nine-hole championship golf course with a driving range, putting and pitching greens, and a golf academy, horse riding stables, four tennis courts and a tennis academy, padel tennis, squash and badminton courts, kids’ clubs, and an indulgent spa. Whew!

The resort’s setting on a private beach means you can also enjoy beach volleyball, motorised and non-motorised water sports on the Arabian Gulf. Staying away from the fray of downtown Dubai in a million square metres of lovely natural space, you’re just a few minutes from the theme park thrills of the epic Dubai Parks & Resorts. All this makes JA The Resort a great place for families, including multigenerational holidays with grandparents.

The three hotels combined also host a breathtaking total of 25 restaurants and bars, meaning here’s always something new to try and something to suit every age, taste, and mood. Among its offerings are Indian fare by the Michelin-starred chef Vikas Khanna, innovative Southeast Asian fusion cuisine in the award-winning White Orchid, and a beachfront bar and restaurant serving wood-fired pizza among other Mediterranean treats.

Other tempting options around the resort include the Italian signature restaurant and lounge Sette with its authentic Italian cuisine, Taperia with its mouth-watering tapas and late-night drinks, and the Bibe Rooftop Lounge with its sunset views, and Smokin' Gun's hand-crafted burgers, and extravagant milkshakes. And many of the ingredients used in all of the restaurants come from the resort’s own organic herb and vegetable garden.

The JA Beach Hotel was Dubai’s first resort and offers sleek modern rooms and suites and access to all of the shared facilities and activities mentioned above. Meanwhile, set back in the grounds a short walk or buggy ride from the beachfront, JA Lake View Hotel is the newest addition to the resort and also its lifestyle hub. Its fresh modern interiors include rooms and suites with up to two bedrooms, sleeping up to seven – ideal for multigenerational holidays.

Then there’s JA Palm Tree Court, a serene, all-suite beachfront escape perfect for rejuvenation, whether as a couple or as a family. Nature lovers prize it for its lush green gardens, gorgeous water features, and pristine private beach. It also has the exclusive Tamr Pool geared towards wellness and the Tamr Terrace with its divine food and drinks. There are suites in a villa-style Residence with VIP benefits, including access to a dedicated lounge and pool.

Stretching for almost 900 miles along the Pacific Coast, California is one of the most diverse destinations in the USA. Within a single trip, you can drive spectacular coastal roads, hike through ancient forests, sip wine in world-famous vineyards, visit iconic cities, or spend time in national parks that feel a world away from everyday life.
