That's right. There will be no new Wild Wadi.

Known for its exceptional service and unparalleled hospitality, Jumeirah Group - the global luxury hospitality company and member of Dubai Holding - today unveiled Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, its latest signature resort that will be an exclusive addition to its beachfront hotel portfolio. Nestled at the tip of a peninsula at the heart of Dubai’s largest private beach, the property will complete the Group’s oceanic trilogy, which includes the wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel and sailboat-inspired Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. The new resort, with design influences of a futuristic superyacht, will feature 386 rooms and suites, 4 penthouses, as well as 83 luxury hotel apartment suites, set amid private landscaped gardens. It encompasses specially integrated wellness and leisure destinations and an impressive line-up of signature restaurants, including a new concept comprising 4 restaurants in 1. With all rooms offering a panoramic vista over the Arabian Sea, this statement property will mark a new epoch for Jumeirah Group.

Jose Silva, CEO of Jumeirah Group commented: “This aspirational project defines the next era of luxury hospitality. Creating truly exceptional experiences in unmatched physical spaces that are designed for energy and redefine luxury, is a core part of our vision. Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab will be another iconic addition to the Dubai skyline, catering to the ever-evolving needs of our guests and complementing our signature properties while further establishing the Jumeirah brand across the globe.”

The award-winning architect behind the design is Shaun Killa, whose Dubai-based architectural firm created some of the city’s most interesting buildings. Shaun Killa said: “For the design of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab we wanted something which surpassed expectations of what supreme luxury can mean for the affluent traveller. With the new hotel’s ergonomic superyacht design, I think we have achieved that goal. There has been particular attention paid to elevating the guest journey and seamlessly connecting them to the distinctly unique experiences available throughout the resort. Each part of the resort has been designed for the ultimate bespoke comfort and enjoyment of guests, with unparalleled exclusivity and privacy.”

Killa also has a legacy with iconic Jumeirah properties having been involved in the build of Burj Al Arab with Atkins in 1998. French designer, Tristan Auer in association with Wilson Associates, has designed the interiors of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, bringing extensive experience working with high-end luxury brands across the world.

The hotel’s 390 rooms, suites and penthouses all enjoy elevated four-metre-high ceiling heights, with many rooms featuring 11-metre-wide floor-to-ceiling balcony windows, creating a sense of grandeur and space. Contemporary luxury interiors, spacious walk-in closets and bathrooms with a view, are all characteristic of this property’s exceptional design. Unique to this resort are a collection of premium suites that follow the contour of the property, each with retractable floor-to-ceiling glass walls, framing 180° views of the spectacular Burj Al Arab Jumeirah and the resort’s new superyacht marina.

The hotel’s lush landscape includes green terraces and sparkling waters, with opulent gardens to replenish both body and mind, complete with secluded cabana areas and pavilions. The resort’s spectacular pools, top off the offering with a large circular pool, a spacious family infinity pool and a private VIP adult pool. A fourth panoramic pool will be situated within the impressive double-height ceiling Spa & Fitness facilities, which will cover more than 3,500 square metres over three floors and will offer a range of bespoke services with fantastic views of Burj Al Arab Jumeirah.

In line with Jumeirah Group’s focus on elevating its dining experience and delivering culinary excellence across its portfolio, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab will feature more than ten curated restaurants and bars, designed by internationally acclaimed restaurant designers with a focus on social-led dining experiences.

Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab forms part of a wider development spearheaded by Dubai Holding, and reinforces their commitment to positioning Dubai as the preferred global tourist destination. The development, which spans more than 160,000 square metres of reclaimed land, includes an exclusive collection of exceptional ocean-facing six-bedroom marina villas and a new state-of-the-art 83 berth superyacht marina and boardwalk.

So the Wild Wadi water park relocation to Marsa Al Arab island was permanently cancelled?

I was able to take some pictures of the construction site up close from the public beach next to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. In the first photo, you can get a peek of the Royal Atlantis Resort from a distance.

Great to see this project making progress. Does anyone have any idea when it will open? Will there be a soft opening for the hotel?

Hello everyone! Wasn't the best day to take great and clear pictures here in Dubai, but still I wanted to give you an insight of how the mega project Marsa Al Arab looks like from Palm Jumeirah at the moment. Incorporating two islands on each side of Burj Al Arab, Marsa Al Arab is set to become a world-class tourist destination and a new recourse for Dubai's economic growth, which definitely needs a boost after the pandemic.

I think there will still be a lot of construction taking place in October but I assume most of the noise will be during the day and not in the early morning or late at night so the noise shouldn't be awful.

The design for Marsa Al Arab is inspired by the subtle*nautical references derived from the grandeur of*modern super-luxurious motor yachts. The form reflects*the notion of standing on the top deck of a yacht.
The ‘shift’ in the length of the hotel responds to the*reclaimed peninsular between the private extended*beach and the new marina, creating an opportunity*for generous drop-offs, in addition to a large 4-storey*vertical opening in the building that frames the clear and*uninterrupted views of the surrounding. The shift splits*the building into the landward F&B and spa zones, and*the seaward hotel guest-rooms, ensuring the privacy and*exclusiveness for the most discerning guests.
At grade level, off the neighbouring roads, the hotel*incorporates BOH services, undercover car parking,*a marina, a private beach and luscious landscapes.*In the upper ground level, the hotel includes the*formal arrival experience, which leads to the drop-off*for the hotel lobby and F&B outlets. The hotel*features 13 levels of 408 sea-facing guest-rooms with*wide balconies designed to provide the guests with a*harmonious feeling of the interior spaces extending*towards the exterior. The upper crown floors include*four exclusive penthouses, each with an area of 650*m2. The combinations of simplex, duplex and triplex*apartments include private pools on their vast balcony*decks, providing the residents with ultimate privacy and*uninterrupted views of Burj Al Arab, the Arabian Gulf,*and Dubai’s new picturesque marina.

Inspired by the nautical lifestyle of relaxation, the crisp white lines and timber decks portrayed in superyachts, and crisp architectural tectonics, the main materials used in the villa are a combination of opulent natural material, providing a luxurious clean-cut aesthetic for the modern resident. There are three available facade options for the villas, with slight variations in the treatment of the vertical elements, facade openings, and roofing material.
With a balance of intimacy and openness, each villa includes a ground floor and three upper floors. The various forms of the volumes are the result of adapting to the design vision and the site conditions, maximizing privacy for every family but still creating spaces where the interior spaces visually integrate with the sea, consequently creating a series of excavations that become patios, terraces, and balconies.
