Jumeirah Beach Hotel has a wave-inspired silhouette and is one of Dubai's most recognisable landmarks. Ideal for guests of all ages, experience unforgettable moments in Arabian paradise at this iconic hotel with a seamless blend of contemporary design and exceptional hospitality infused with the unmistakable spirit of Jumeirah.
Thoughtfully designed with families in mind and offering a wealth of world-class facilities to guarantee the ultimate family retreat, Jumeirah Beach Hotel offers a variety of accommodation types which includes a stunning collection of private villas. Al Bahar Villas allows guests to experience the perfect pairing of privacy with luxury, combining a five-star hotel stay with world-class amenities and a wealth of exclusive benefits, alongside the comfort of your own private retreat with stylish and spacious interiors. We take a look at what makes Al Bahar Villas so unique and give first-hand experience from If Only’s Sales Director Tracy Docherty who was there for a recent birthday celebration.
The distinctive earthy textures and stunning Arabesque architecture of these beautiful villas showcases the redefined comforts of this exclusive accommodation. Arabic for ‘house of the sea’, Al Bahar Villas promise a relaxing escape for the whole family, with one, two and three bedroom villas each with their own plunge pool and 24-hour butler service ensuring a personalised service is guaranteed. Breathtaking views of the garden or sea makes you feel like you are part of a luxury Arabian village with long, winding streets, manicured gardens and quaint villas.
Natural textures, organic materials, and bespoke Balinese-crafted furniture adds a soulful depth to the interiors, while high ceilings and expansive glass doors create a seamless connection between the indoors and the world beyond. In each bedroom, soft linens and gentle tones ensure a restful sleep while ensuite bathrooms, wrapped in cool white stone and accented with gold indulgence. Outside on your private terrace, take in the mesmerising views of the iconic Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, enjoy a dip in your private plunge pool or relax on a sun lounger surrounded by desert flora and lofty palms. A sanctuary of thoughtful design, every detail exudes the effortless elegance of a peaceful retreat.
With plenty of space to unwind, Al Bahar Villas are the ultimate family haven that are spacious both inside and out, and it’s imperative that you make the most of both the villa and hotel amenities. During your stay, you can access all of the facilities at Jumeirah Beach Hotel, including the coastal charm of a beautiful private beach, six swimming pools and complimentary unlimited access to fun-filled Wild Wadi Waterpark.
Young explorers can explore, play and imagine at the popular kids club Jumeirah Circle, featuring vibrant indoor and outdoor spaces. Meanwhile, the grown-ups can take the opportunity to unwind by the pool or relax at the serene Talise Spa, a tranquil oasis designed to restore, rejuvenate and reconnect.
When it's time to come together, indulge as the resort's culinary delights offer something to suit every palate. Savour Mediterranean and Levantine flavours under the sun at Nuska Beach or enjoy classic British favourites with a twist at the award-winning gastropub and terrace, Dhow & Anchor.
Upon arrival at Al Bahar Villas, guests are accompanied by a welcoming butler and led through a private entrance to your villa. Expect a seamless service throughout your stay as each villa is looked after by a 24-hour dedicated butler service, elevating the level of hospitality with amenities tailored to your preference. Begin the day with a relaxed breakfast on the terrace as you plan the day ahead. Allowing for unique family gatherings which also provides in-villa children’s entertainment for an additional charge, you can enjoy a curated selection of experiences. From the culinary delights of an intimate barbeque prepared by a private chef in your villa (additional charge applies) to starlit dinners on the beach, the new ‘Dine by Design’ programme ensures each activity is thoughtfully crafted to suit every occasion and personalised to your stay.
During your stay as a guest of the Al Bahar Villas, you’ll also be able to enjoy access to the Club Lounges, the Executive Pool, and the Al Bahar Club - a charming setting which is open from sunrise to sunset, featuring breakfast, afternoon tea, two hours of daily complimentary drinks, and a selection of canapés prepared by the hotel’s signature restaurants.
‘In September I had the absolute pleasure of staying in the 5 star Jumeriah Al Bahar villas to celebrate my 50th birthday and what incredible stay we had. We were collected at the airport in our complimentary chauffeur drive and from the moment we arrived we were looked after by Mohammad our personal butler who was on hand to explain the resort and benefits to us, make reservations in restaurants, offered a full concierge service and even ensured we had our own initialed hats for wearing at the pool which was just one of many special touches included in our villa stay.
The villa itself, which is one of 19 in total, was a hidden haven amidst the vibrant landscape of Dubai’s favourite family and had an incredible backdrop of The Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. We had our own plunge pool, sun loungers, bali bed, table and chairs for six guests as well as sofas all in our vast outdoor space plus a spacious and chic living room, bedroom and bathroom with all the usual Jumeriah touches.
The villas benefit from all club privileges allowing you breakfast, afternoon tea and pre dinner canapes in your suite, a private majis tent at the executive pool which is part of the villa complex or you can also use the family club lounge in Jumeriah Beach hotel or The Sunset Club lounge which I would recommend for sundowners before going to dinner. During the day you could be as chilled or as active as you wanted. Every morning we took a stroll before breakfast on the private beach, we spent an afternoon in Wild Wadi Waterpark which is complimentary to all guests and also tried our hand at paddle boarding but with our haven to go back to, it was really difficult to leave the solace of our villa.
Having been to Dubai numerous times over my 20 years in travel this has to be the best accommodation I have ever stayed in and would thoroughly recommend it to any of our luxury customers looking for a home away from home.’
Offering a deeper sense of escape, enjoy timeless elegance and heartfelt hospitality with a stay at Al Bahar Villas at Jumeirah Beach Hotel – a sanctuary like no other.
