Overlooking the calm waters of the Arabian Gulf, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray combines luxurious beachside living with opulent Ottoman design. From indulgent Turkish spa treatments to authentic cuisine and regal residences, we take a sneak peek inside the hotel to find out what makes it so special.

Ottoman-inspired design

Inspired by the grand palaces of the Ottoman Empire, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray conjures images of ancient Istanbul. An exact replica of the entrance to the Sultan Han Caravanserais in Aksaray welcomes guests through the door, where they’re transported back in time to Turkey’s Tulip period. Decorated in a dramatic colour palette of turquoise, red and gold, the design throughout the hotel is undeniably opulent, punctuated by original adaptations of traditional Ottoman art and architecture.

An unrivalled location

Set on the pristine sands of Palm Jumeirah, the hotel enjoys breath-taking views of the Arabian Gulf and serene skyline scenes of Dubai Marina. One of Dubai’s most exclusive addresses, Palm Jumeirah is the world’s biggest man-made archipelago, designed in the shape of a palm tree. Located at the far end of the West Crescent, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray offers a welcome retreat from the busy pace of Dubai life.

State-of-the-art facilities

The largest spa in the Middle East, Talise Ottoman Spa is a destination in its own right. Here 8000sqm of traditional spa facilities – sauna, jacuzzi, steam room and pool – combine with snow rooms, thalassotherapy pools and relaxation gardens to create a haven of tranquillity and indulgence. At the heart of the spa is a grand Turkish Hammam, where guests can experience centuries-old treatments and exceptional products that will leave them feeling fully restored. Outside the spa, guests can also enjoy a pristine stretch of private beach, a 59m infinity pool and an abundance of activities for little ones to enjoy at Sinbad Kids club, complete with a kids splash pool and a whale pool.

Royal residences

Just steps from Palm Jumeirah’s white sands, the Royal Residences are truly palatial. Each villa has been designed with privacy in mind, with secluded gardens, 24-hour personalised butler service and numerous living spaces to relax and unwind. The Seafront Royal Residences are particularly impressive, each with a private pool and uninterrupted sea views and a live soundtrack of lapping waves.

Authentic food

Dubai is famous for its outstanding global cuisine, and at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray there’s a wealth of extraordinary culinary experiences to discover. Enjoy a sensory experience at Amala, blending the rich flavours and exotic spices of classic North Indian Mughlai cuisine or take a seat in the striking surrounds of Imperium for casual, family-friendly dining with dedicated children’s menus which are also available throughout the hotel. Carnivores will delight in the menu at The Rib Room, which specialises in prime cuts of Irish and Wagyu beef, while Al Nafoorah is the place to go for Lebanese cuisine served alongside atmospheric Arabic music. Those celebrating a special occasion also have the option to personalise their dining experience with customised dishes and a romantic dinner by the beach.
