Considered one of the best family hotels in the world, Jumeirah Beach Hotel is Jumeirah Group’s first hotel and one of its most iconic. Since opening in 1997 the five-star premier lifestyle hotel has helped shape and define Dubai’s position as a leading tourist destination.

The 26-storey hotel continues to redefine the holiday experience with 599 sea-facing rooms and suites and 19 royal villas all with stunning views of the Burj Al Arab, more than 10 restaurants and bars, extensive conference and banqueting facilities. Amenities include a KiDs Club, a 360° lifestyle and wellness hub, comprising of Talise Spa, The J Club health club, and FIKA restaurant.

The distinctive and dynamic wave-shaped design and long layered façades represent a wave swelling and breaking. Curved both in plan and on elevation, the elliptical corridors inside the hotel mean each room and suite offers views out to sea. The exterior of the hotel was constructed from aluminium and blue plated glass, giving it an almost surreal, cool finish. Having evolved from a classic beach resort into a contemporary relaxed five-star family destination, Jumeirah Beach Hotel’s spirit of timeless fun has been retained, but the guest experience has been elevated to one of relaxed luxury.

The hotel was renovated from May – October 2018, covering all rooms & suites, the reimagining of several of its dining experiences and the redesign of its magnificent arrival atrium.

The contemporary and yet still welcoming interior of Jumeirah Beach Hotel lobby marks the start of a beautifully curated experience that flows from check-in, to beachfront dining, right through to comfortable beds resulting in a peaceful night sleep.

Firstly, guests are welcomed by a beautifully bright open space with prominent views of Burj Al Arab, the Arabian Gulf and of course Jumeirah Beach Hotel’s own private beach.

The lobby itself has been designed to allow a more comfortable guest arrival, resulting in a generous and welcoming space. Alongside a beautifully lit wall with tie-dye wave effects to frame the space of the Reception and Concierge spaces, there is a wooden dhow plant/flower feature, as well as curved gold desks at which guests will start their seamless check-in experience, and elegant white marble flooring, reflecting the serenity of being beachside.

All the 599 guest rooms and suites have been designed with the calmness and serenity of the Arabian Gulf in mind. Inspired by the natural colours of the sea with subtle tones of blues and beiges (i.e. waves and sand), the rooms have chagrin leather covered furniture, a flooring design that resembles water rippling over sand and walls covered with both real stone wallpaper and reflective materials, giving them a stunning shimmery effect.

The rooms are generous in size (starting from 50 square metres across 11 different categories) and have large seating areas and walk-in showers and/or baths. They all have floor-to-ceiling glass windows which offer direct sea views of the Arabian Gulf and Burj Al Arab, as well as unique seating areas for the perfect nook from which to enjoy spectacular views.

All rooms have Hypnos beds (that come complete with a Royal seal of approval from the Queen of England), presented with 400 thread count bedding to ensure the family’s complete relaxation after a busy day at the KiDS Club, the pool or the beach. All Ocean Family Deluxe rooms also feature Murphy beds where the little and not so little can still enjoy a relaxing night’s sleep without compromising on space. The rooms are also completed with a series of indulgent amenities such as luxurious toiletries, and a selection of bath experiences.

Set within the grounds of Jumeirah Beach Hotel, this tranquil cluster of villas, whose name means ‘villas by the sea’, offer a highly personalised service in luxurious surroundings. The one and two-bedroom Beit Al Bahar Royal Villas offer a private terrace, a plunge pool overlooking a private garden and the Arabian Gulf, a 24hour butler service, aromatherapy menus, fine bed and bath linens, and the latest in-room technologies. The decor blends elements of Arabia with a comforting colour palette and contemporary furnishings. The generous living-rooms, high wood-beamed ceilings, plush bedrooms and sunken bathtubs are just some of the exceptional features found in the 19 Beit Al Bahar Royal Villas.

The local community and the hotel guests can enjoy famous destination restaurants that celebrate and accentuate the hotel’s beachside location.
