    Is this Dubai’s most luxurious new stay?
    If you’re dreaming of a Dubai staycation that offers next-level luxury, then pack your favourite resortwear for Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. The superyacht-inspired resort is an architectural vision sitting pretty on the shorefront of Jumeirah – and it’s welcoming guests from Friday March 14.
    Completing a nautical-inspired trilogy alongside Jumeirah Beach Hotel and another visual icon – Burj Al Arab, the gorgeous new resort exudes elevated oceanic style. Inspired by the majesty of superyachts from around the world, the resort features 386 rooms and suites, a curated collection of almost a dozen restaurants and bars, five swimming pools, a rejuvenating spa and even its own 82-berth marina.
    Checking-in to pure luxury

    Of the glamourous and contemporary accommodation options, guests can check in to one of 300 rooms or 86 suites. In the top-tier suite categories, guests can enjoy bold and sporty interiors, modern butler service, and access to the exclusive Iliana Pool Club.
    Top tier suites include the Pearl Suite, complete with wrap-around terrace and space to host events for up to 80; the Presidential Suite, with its own plunge pool; and The Royal Suite, which seemingly floats above water, and can be expanded into a multi-bedroom retreat of five connecting rooms.
    A feast of flavours

    Set to become the ultimate destination for gourmands, diners will be spoiled for choice with 11 restaurants and four bars at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. Unique for Dubai is The Fore, a transforming dining destination that evolves through breakfast, lunch and dinner. Elsewhere, highlights include The Cullinan, a fine dining steakhouse; Kira, where Mediterrasian dishes take centre stage, and guests can continue the night at the exclusive Litt club afterwards; and Kinugawa, a contemporary Japanese restaurant that hails from St Tropez.

    Other dining options include the grand Venetian restaurant and bar Rialto, which captures the timeless allure of 1950s Italy; and Orizonta, a chic Eastern Mediterranean restaurant with dreamy Burj Al Arab views. There’s also aforementioned Iliana, a suite-guests-only pool club by day, and an alluring rooftop bar by night.
    Completing the line-up is Umi Kei, serving Japanese dishes inspired by the art of kintsugi; Madame Li, a refined Asian fusion restaurant; breezy Mediterranean brasserie Mirabelle; and The Bombay Club, which brings to life the vibrant culinary heritage of India.
    All of the restaurants are now open for bookings.
    Rejuvenating wellness

    Jumeirah brings its renowned Talise Spa wellness concept into Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab as a three-floor emporium of relaxation and rejuvenation. Bespoke treatments and holistic therapies are offered in 13 treatment rooms with private terraces, while guests can also enjoy a 20-meter indoor pool, a fully equipped fitness studio, gym, and female-only spaces.
    Another standout feature is the Remedy Suite, which features four technology-driven therapies such as Cryotherapy, ChromoSpace light treatments, the iDome Infra-Red Triple Detox Treatment, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber.
    A destination little ones will love

    Not just the ultimate playground for adults, little travellers can enjoy a dedicated family club, perfect for children aged three to 10. Here, daily activities are designed to foster creativity, learning, and meaningful connections through engaging activities and interactive experiences.

      From celeb-adored London icons to homegrown supper clubs making their roots in the city… 
      Dubai’s diverse and vibrant culinary scene offers something for everyone, from romantic date nights to glamorous fine dining institutions and casual eateries for relaxed alfresco lunches. But this year, a new injection of haute hotspots is set to make dining in Dubai even more fabulous.
      Here, Emirates Woman brings you the most exciting restaurant openings to look forward to in 2025.
      Scott’s

      This elegant seafood restaurant is somewhat of a fine dining institution in London. Everyone from the British royals to actors including Tom Hanks and Salma Hayek have been spotted enjoying glasses of bubbly from the extensive wine list and plates of fresh seafood at Mayfair’s beloved Scott’s. And later this year it’s set to bring that quintessential glamour to Dubai’s DIFC, slated to open in Gate Village in September.
      @scottsmayfair
      Carbone

      New York’s impossible-to-get-into Carbone has chosen an iconic address for its Dubai debut: Atlantis The Royal. In a resort where you’ll already find hotspots like Milos and Ling Ling, Carbone is set to bring its glamourous take on New York-style Italian to Dubai later this year. Expect famed signatures like the spicy rigatoni, linguine vongole and veal parmesan to be served up by tuxedo-clad service captains in a venue of velvety jewel-hues and across a buzzing alfresco terrace.
      @carbone.dxb
      Hanu

      Opening imminently at St Regis Gardens is Hanu, a new homegrown concept from Sunset Hospitality – the culinary creators behind Signor Sassi, Sushisamba and Mott 32 in Dubai. While the city may be saturated with Italian, Japanese and Mediterranean restaurants, Hanu promises a new take on contemporary Korean cuisine, a largely untapped market in Dubai’s dining scene. At the culinary helm, chef Kyung Soo Moon, responsible for making Sushisamba one of Dubai’s most talked-about dining destinations, who promises to present bold takes on Korean classics. Tables featuring charcoal grills will allow for interactive dining, where guests can grill their own meat to order.

      Girl and the Goose

      A self-taught chef, Nicaraguan born Gabriela Chamorro created Girl and the Goose as a supper club that educated Dubai diners about South American cuisine. And fast forward five years, she’s set to open her first permanent restaurant in Dubai. Located in the Anantara Downtown, as was the theme of the Girl and the Goose supper club in Chamorro’s home, the Downtown eatery promises to reimagine Central American cuisine, presented with warm Latin hospitality.
      @girl.and.the.goose
      Kinugawa

      A sexy series of izakaya’s dotted across Paris, St Tropez, Courchevel and St Barths, Kinugawa is expanding into the Middle East with an opening at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. Debuting in March 2025, the Dubai iteration will be an elegant poolside retreat, serving up contemporary Japanese cuisine and fabulous cocktails.
      @kinugawadubai
      Revolver

      A modern grill restaurant hailing from Singapore, get ready to experience acclaimed Revolver, opening soon at the ME Dubai. From the renowned Culinary Arts Group, it promises the same sleek and sophisticated interiors found at the original, with the whole restaurant arranged around a theatrical open-fire kitchen. Expect wood-fired South Asian dishes from star chef Jitin Joshi.
      @revolver_dubai
      Tattu

      Born in Manchester and now found in thriving cities across the UK, including Leeds, Edinburgh and London, Tattu will make its international expansion in the summer of 2025. Set to take dining to new heights inside the world’s tallest hotel – Ciel Tower – it marks a new chapter in the Tattu story. Rather than just a late-night dinner spot, the 25,000 square-foot Tattu Dubai will be a restaurant, pool club and a late-night lounge.
      @tattudubai
      KIRA

      Opening at a stunning rooftop location at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, KIRA comes from Addmind – the creative minds behind DIFC’s Clap and Sucre, and recently opened Relais L’Entrecote. The glittering restaurant will bring a fusion of Japanese-Mediterranean flavours to a glamorous and refined space that will house the restaurant KIRA as well as an opulent after-hours spot, LITT. Both are set to open alongside the hotel on March 14.
      @kirarestaurant
      China Tang

      A staple on the London dining scene, China Tang is a renowned fine dining Chinese restaurant housed in The Dorchester. So it makes sense that the final piece in the culinary puzzle at Dubai’s Dorchester – The Lana – would be China Tang. The upscale Cantonese restaurant is inspired by the art-deco era of 1930s Shanghai, and the interiors are laced with the flamboyant touches its founder Sir David Tang is renowned for. The must-order dish? The signature Peking Duck.
      @chinatangdxb
      Three Bro’s Kitchen

      From the three brothers that created Dubai’s smash hit Orfali Bros comes Three Bro’s Bistro, opening soon just down the road from the trio’s first restaurant in Al Wast. Although Mohammed Orfali and his brothers haven’t given many details about what to expect from their second restaurant, foodie insiders suggest it’s going to be a fast-casual restaurant. And yes, that burger will be on the menu.
      @threebros_kitchen
      Monte Carlo Club 1863

      Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer (SBM) is the brand behind many of Monaco’s ritziest hotspots, with their portfolio featuring an array of high-end hotels, casinos and restaurants across the principality. But later this year Monte Carlo SBM will open its first restaurant outside of Monaco, bringing Monte-Carlo Club 1863 to Dubai in the autumn of 2025. Monte Carlo Club 1863 will present a dazzling showcase of ‘Monaco’s culinary specialities,’ as per an official announcement. Although no location has been given, we’re sure it’s set to be one of the city’s renowned foodie destinations due to the group’s existing portfolio of iconic destinations.
      @montecarlosbm
      The Cullinan

      Another haute addition to the culinary scene at soon-to-open Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is The Cullinan. From the team behind Clay on Bluewater’s and SAN Beach, this fine dining steakhouse oozes modern luxury, and will open this March. On the menu, the finest meats, seafood and seasonal produce will be presented in a bold, contemporary setting, paired with an extensive wine list that perfectly pairs with the dishes.
