Jumeirah: Crafting Luxury Stays Across the Globe
The names Jumeirah immediately evoke luxuriousness, elegance, and world-class hospitality. Originally established in 1997 and then acquired by Dubai Holding in 2004, the luxury group, owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, redefined opulence in hospitality. Headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, Jumeirah offers some of the most impressive portfolios of remarkable properties, such as breathtaking beachfront resorts, sophisticated city hotels, and exclusive serviced residences. Every property, designed and managed with great care, promises guests an unforgettable experience blending modern luxury with cultural richness and sets the Jumeirah Group apart as a global leader in high-end hospitality.
The UAE properties under Jumeirah form an impressive collection of properties catering to the spectrum of travellers who look for premium and diverse experiences. This includes iconic landmarks in Dubai like the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, which is commonly known as the world’s most luxurious hotel, and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the first choice for many families and beach lovers. For a more peaceful getaway, consider Jumeirah Zabeel Saray at Palm Jumeirah or Jumeirah Saadiyat Island Resort with serene surroundings coupled with superior service. Other key beachfront resorts are Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab and Jumeirah Residences Marsa Al Arab. Its Madinat Jumeirah resort complex—Arabian-themed resort—is home to several luxury hotels: Jumeirah Al Naseem, Jumeirah Al Qasr, Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf, and Jumeirah Mina Al Salam are connected by a water system, giving guests scenic ways through waterways.
Jumeirah also offers some for the more active and adventurous, the city-break-type guest. The city hotels that Jumeirah encompasses form a great landscape for any visitor, ranging from the high-end luxury to pure convenience. For business travellers as well as tourists, Jumeirah Emirates Towers and Jumeirah Creekside Hotel provide proximity to the business districts. Those who prefer to spend longer periods are catered for by Jumeirah Living Marina Gate through an amalgamation of luxury living with modern hospitality. Dubai presents the city and the living style in unique ways with its projects such as The Greens and Jumeirah Living World Trade Centre Residences that speak of the contemporary thoughts in its making. Versatility and choices are being catered to the guests’ demands through such diversified, international city stays in the UAE with Jumeirah being the option for many to accommodate.
At a global scale, international footprint speaks more of its brand name worldwide than being the luxury brand to just Middle Eastern regions only. Jumeirah is expanding to Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Makkah, and even further afield to Guangzhou and Nanjing in China, as well as Bali, the Maldives, Mallorca, Capri, and London. Each property will embody the cultural essence of its location but maintain Jumeirah’s standards of excellence. Strategically growing to encompass a great number of destinations within the following years, it provides a tremendous opportunity for a gateway of access into emerging markets around the globe that this unique luxury brand needs to market its offerings with all sorts of cuisines it promises.
Jumeirah has taken centre stage when the definition of luxuriousness calls for high- profile restaurants in exceptional numbers; boasting of a comprehensive portfolio that caters over 85 varieties in it. Their dining features collaborations with famous names such as ZUMA, giving it a distinct appeal that attracts food lovers worldwide. Many of Jumeirah’s dining outlets have received critical acclaim, and 20 of its restaurants appeared in the prestigious Gault&Millau and Michelin Guides. Fine dining at upscale, innovative contemporary cuisine, all these culinary offerings from Jumeirah add up to making every meal memorable for their guests.
Jumeirah stands tall and has maintained the bar of excellence as it focuses on the idea of growth, through the relentless pursuit of the extraordinary and through vision. With Jumeirah, luxury hospitality reaches its new benchmark with each experience in one of their luxurious rooms. With unparalleled and distinct hospitality at each stop, whether unwinding on the tranquil Maldivian beaches or navigating through Dubai’s fast-paced culture, a Jumeirah destination promises to be unique in experience and in the offerings of destination itself. It continues to have the best hospitality even as it expands its jurisdictions into new markets, and brings the essence of luxury to more guests around the world.
