THE fifth phase of Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Hotel expansion plan, which is set for completion in 2018, has been endorsed by the government.

The masterplan vision and concept for the expansion was delivered by global architecture, urbanism and design practice Broadway Malyan.

The project was undertaken on behalf of Jumeirah Group, with the practice’s expert designers in Abu Dhabi and Lisbon, Portugal, partnering closely with the client on the project.

The project will see the addition of a ultra-luxury resort to the existing Jumeirah Beach Hotel that will comprise 350 hotel rooms with panoramic beachfront views of Burj Al Arab, a dedicated new beach offering private beach experiences, recreational marine facilities that encompass spas, health clubs, elevated tennis courts, a world-class sports complex and a range of ocean-facing retail, food and beverage outlets.

The new resort will see extensive expansion of the existing yacht marina doubling its current capacity. It will also offer a variety of vibrant leisure facilities, equipped with state-of-the-art entertainment amenities.

Jumeirah Group, a global luxury hotel company and a member of Dubai Holding, currently manages 22 luxury hotels in over 10 countries with plans to add 10 new hotels to its Dubai portfolio in the next few years.

Broadway Malyan has 16 studios across world centres. It boasts world-class and fully-integrated cities, places and buildings.
