Mina A’Salam:
Mina A’Salam is a grand boutique hotel of exquisite style, nestled on the shores of the Arabian Gulf. This unique hideaway offers you a window into a world rich in culture and faithful to time honoured traditions. Blending informal ambience and colourful Arabian themes to the Dubai leisure scene – its beach linked with the nearby Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Wild Wadi Water Park. The 292 richly appointed guest rooms and suites overlook the delightful waterway and pool – around which much of the hotel’s operation is themed.
Al Qasr:
Al Qasr (meaning ‘The Palace’) is the opulent centrepiece of Madinat Jumeirah and designed to reflect a Royal summer residence and is a stunning statement of Dubai’s ancient heritage. Approached via a tree-lined avenue, adorned with beautifully sculpted Arabian horses, Al Qasr is simply breathtaking – a tribute to age-old architectural styles of majestic elegance. Set on a kilometre of private beachfront and surrounded by waterways, it forms a virtual island with panoramic views on all sides with ancient wind towers which are a backdrop to spacious gardens, serene pool areas, meandering waterways and the blue sea. Nowhere are the waterways of Madinat Jumeirah enjoyed in such fine perspective. Arabian style is evident throughout these sumptuously decorated rooms. Al Qasr offers 292 Arabian and Ocean Deluxe and Premium Leisure rooms and suites, all lavishly styled with traditional Arab themes.
Dar Al Masyaf:
Dar Al Masyaf is a more intimate and exclusive Madinat Jumeirah hideaway in the quiet garden setting of a wind tower, bedecked low-rise buildings – summer houses. It was the courtyard summer houses of ‘Old Arabia’ that inspired the concept of these beautifully designed two-storey residential retreats. The resort’s premium accommodation is a world where guests are cocooned by a lifestyle of relaxation, luxury, space and privacy. There are two house types (Arabian and Gulf – the latter with superb access to the beach) in 20 summer houses, each featuring 8 – 11 rooms, centred around a traditional courtyard and ‘majlis’. In all there are 283 Arabian (garden/waterway view) and Ocean Deluxe (sea view) rooms and Arabian and Ocean Suites in Arabian or Gulf summer houses – all have butler service, air-conditioning, wide private balcony or terrace, and ocean or garden/waterway views.

Boasting more than 40 restaurants, a world of culinary excellence awaits you at Madinat Jumeirah. Combine the vast choice of dining options with a dedication to outstanding service and you are assured of a truly memorable occasion at any of the resort’s restaurants and bars. Seafood enthusiasts will relish the variety of choices awaiting them. At Mina A’Salam, The Wharf’s delicious ocean fare is a sumptuous vision of global appeal. From the Pacific Rim to the Mediterranean, the Wharf is a blend of the best marine tastes and offers ocean dining at its most succulent. Its wide terrace affords breathtaking views over the azure Arabian Gulf.
Madinat Jumeirah celebrates Dubai’s Arabian heritage and Middle Eastern cuisine plays an integral part in the resort’s culinary offering. Whether you wish to relax with mezze and Arabic sweets amidst the informality of the UAE restaurant, take respite from the oppressive summer heat in Al Fayrooz Lobby Lounge, or savour the vibrant flavours and warmth of the Moroccan majlis-style Shoo Fee Ma Fee bar – delectable authentic dishes and the traditional Arabian values of hospitality and friendship envelop the guest at Madinat Jumeirah.
Be transported to the Orient. Mina A’Salam’s signature restaurant, Zheng He’s is an elegant Chinese restaurant with a radical twist. Modern, progressive and beyond compare, this is ‘new Chinese’ cooking which simultaneously combines Western flavours with Chinese favourites – a style which is designed to constantly surprise. For more animated, casual and involved dining experiences – head to The Noodle House in the Souk. This buzzing noodle bar captures the essence of the Far Eastern passion for food in an atmosphere of lively activity, sizzling spirit and aromatic overdrive. At Thai-I, the land of a thousand smiles comes to the place of infinite style. East meets West in this restaurant of incomparable beauty, with its unique commingling in which some dishes are pure Thai, others authentic Italian and yet more integrate the two. Both styles are based on fast, fresh cooking and this daring intermix succeeds out of audacity and achieves unity. Romantically remote and overlooking waterways and semi-tropical gardens, this sublime restaurant is fine dining far removed from the bustle of the hotels.
