The masterplan vision and concept for the expansion was delivered by Broadway Malyan on behalf of Jumeirah Group, with the practice’s designers in Abu Dhabi and Portugal partnering closely with the client on the project.
The scheme will see the addition of a ultra-luxury resort, which will include 350 hotel rooms with panoramic beachfront views of Burj Al Arab, a new beach, recreational marine facilities that encompass spas, health clubs, elevated tennis courts, a sports complex and a range of places to shop and eat. The new resort will see extensive expansion of the existing yacht marina, doubling its current capacity.
The expansion project supports the implementation of the Dubai Vision 2020 to attract 20 million tourists by 2020.
