Enjoy your stay at Jumeirah

04 Jul, 2019Abu Dhabi rises from the desert sands like an ethereal oasis. At the core of its radiant image: sleek, seemingly gravity-defying high-rises and architectural marvels - genuine wonders of the modern world - that glow futuristically out towards the low-lying red deserts around it. Here we showcase the most inspiring pieces of cutting-edge engineering from the heart of Abu Dhabi:

02 Jul, 2019Dubai is at the centre of the world, a global hub that serves Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa and is within easy reach of 85% of the globe’s population. It is therefore the perfect place to organise an event. From soaring skyscrapers to intimate retreats there is a space for every scale and every budget. Here we talk to Danielle Nay, an international planner of highly original luxury events with soul, scale and impact, about why and how Dubai is the perfect event destination. She has produced spectacular happenings in the US, UK and Europe, as well as the Middle East and numbers many celebrities among her clients.

26 Jun, 2019Downtown Dubai is one of the UAE’s most coveted addresses. Rooftop bars, chic cafes, retail heaven, not to mention stunning views of the Burj Khalifa and Burj Park make Downtown a blissful combination of excitement and serenity in the heart of the Emirate’s capital. Here’s how to get the most out of spending the day in Downtown Dubai.

01 May, 2019Congratulations to our Jumeirah Hotels and Resorts for scooping awards at the 2019 World Travel Awards™, at the Middle East Gala Ceremony 2019, held in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

30 Apr, 2019Dubai is the perfect sandbox for big events – a place where ideas can breathe, and creative expression is unbounded. It’s here that tradition and futurism twist together in a soaring ascension of metal and glass. Here in this dune-wrapped desert city, shaped by verve and ambition, where all the most outlandish boardroom suggestions have been realised, including a sail-shaped 7-star hotel and a plethora of ‘world’s biggests’ – not to mention a list of slow-burning projects likely to surpass expectations at the World Expo 2020.

25 Apr, 2019It can be daunting stepping through the automatic doors and being swept into the bustling crowds that flow through Dubai Airport (DXB). Not only is it the main airport for Dubai and the UAE, it’s also the busiest in the world for international traffic. That means the crowds are diverse, exciting and filled with faces from around the globe, milling between the three terminals, from Terminal 1 – the Sheikh Rashid – to the huge, state-of-the-art Terminal 3, reserved for Emirates flights.

18 Apr, 2019Looming over the banks of the River Main, Frankfurt was once a key stronghold of the Holy Roman Empire. Today it exists as one of the financial centres of the world, with a major airport, internationally renowned institutions (Goethe University), concert halls (Alte Oper), book and motor fairs, sleepy botanical gardens and a grand landscape of museums centred around the Museumsufer. Escape your meetings and drift into rivers of business tourists as they spill out from the high-powered Bankenviertel district (Germany’s answer to Manhattan, with ten of the country’s tallest skyscrapers) in search of traditional German experiences, foraging for churches, cobbled food districts, taverns stocking sweet Apfelwein and bustling trade fairs. Here’s our pick of five things to do in Frankfurt between meetings.

03 Apr, 2019Follow the broad arm of the Yangtze as it winds inland from Shanghai and after 300km you’ll arrive in Nanjing – a city crowded with old monuments and landmarks, tree-lined avenues, museums, cafés and Republican-era buildings. Arriving in a new city, it’s natural to feel a little rushed off your feet. There’s so much to see. So many boxes to tick – local delicacies to sample, places to get lost. But like many Chinese cities first impressions count and knowing your towers from your temples and where to enjoy a traditional tea ceremony could make all the difference. Here’s our selection of where you will want to impress clients in Nanjing:

10 Mar, 2019Sitting on Kuwait’s idyllic southern coast, the Jumeirah Messilah Beach Hotel & Spa is an ode to idyllic relaxation. Its 3,500 square-metre Talise spa specialises in a multitude of therapeutic styles, most tantalising among them the traditional technique of hydrotherapy. We know how vital a thorough detox is to stress-free travel, and so we chatted to our senior therapists at Messilah Beach to create a guide to the ultimate detox.

10 Jan, 2019A grand promenade running alongside Shanghai’s Huangpu River, the Bund offers the most photogenic views of the city.

02 Jan, 2019There’s plenty to entertain during a visit to Bahrain: camel safaris, exquisite mosques, fragrant spice souks, spectacular landscapes. But for those with a fondness for the hot smell of burning rubber, the scream of tyres on tarmac and the full throttle of a 1,500-horsepower engine, Bahrain never disappoints. Home to the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix, it’s a haven for petrol heads who know a 718 from a 911 and a Chiron from a Veyron. Here are all the ways in which Bahrain is the top destination for car enthusiasts.

31 Dec, 2018Dubai is one of the world’s most exciting cities, from its world-class contemporary architecture, cultural institutions, galleries, malls and restaurants to its verdant parks, pristine beaches and adventure sports.
