Jumeirah Zabeel Saray

Luxurious, Ottoman-style hotel on the Palm Jumeirah.

This palatial, 405-room residence is set on the west crescent of the Palm Jumeirah in front of a private golden beach. Its elegant Istanbul-inspired architecture features white domes and ornate archways, surrounded by palm-lined waterways and gardens.

Step inside and you’ll find one of the world’s largest crystal chandeliers twinkling in the central hall. Meanwhile, in the lobby, black and white marble floor tiles give way to a grandiose water fountain – perfect for photo opportunities.

Middle Eastern, Indian, and Japanese cuisine is served in carefully curated dining areas, and you can opt for tasty Mediterranean fare at the Bohemian beachfront restaurant. The Talise Spa – the largest in the Jumeirah hotel collection – invites you to become immersed in elegant Ottoman surroundings where you can enjoy a relaxing Turkish hammam, a reviving visit to the snow room, and spend time in the pool and state-of-the art gym. Alternatively, you can catch some rays by the hotel’s lagoon-like pool or seek out some air-conditioned shade at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray’s 29-seater cinema.
