When you think of luxury hospitality in Dubai, one name stands above the rest: Jumeirah. This Emirati state-owned luxury hotel chain was established in 1997 and manages 31 properties, including beachfront resorts, city hotels, and luxury serviced residences across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. From the iconic sail-shaped Burj Al Arab to intimate island hideaways in the Maldives, Jumeirah has redefined what luxury travel means in the 21st century.
But Jumeirah is more than just stunning architecture and prime locations. It’s a philosophy of hospitality that places genuine Arabian warmth at the heart of every guest experience, combined with world-class amenities and unforgettable dining that keeps travelers returning year after year.
