Jumeirah Al Qasr
Palatial, Arabian charm in the vast Madinat Jumeirah resort



Designed to an opulent ‘Sheikh’s summer residence’ style, Al Qasr sits as the palatial face of the sprawling Madinat Jumeirah beachfront resort – an exclusive, 40-hectare strip on the Jumeirah beachfront built to resemble a traditional Arabian town. Tree-lined avenues, waterways and a souk fill the space between some 40 restaurants, bars and lounges, plus the Talise Spa – all available to guests of Al Qasr. Inside the ornate boutique bolthole itself, spacious rooms and suites give a stylistic flavour of Arabia, antique inflections given in a scattering of storied fine furnishings.
