Anantara to open first Dubai property in September
POSTED 13 Feb 2013 . BY Jessica Tasman-Jones
Anantara is to expand its presence in the United Arab Emirates with its first Dubai property, which is set to open in on the crescent of the Palm Jumeirah in September.

The Anantara Dubai Palm Jumeirah Resort & Spa will offer 293 guest rooms and villas clustered in groups of four to eight for maximum privacy.

The Anantara Spa will provide Arabian and Asian-inspired treatments in a facility designed and created by Schletter Wellness & Spa Design.

In addition to 10 luxurious treatment rooms, the spa will offer relaxation areas, wet facilities, dry flotation bed, Ayurvedic tables, nail spa, private Hammam suites and a Thai massage suite.

The resort will have its own private beach as well as three natural lagoons and a shoreline infinity pool.

Six themed restaurants and bars include an all-day restaurant serving Middle Eastern and international cuisine, an Australian inspired grill, an Asian restaurant and a beachfront Mediterranean restaurant.

The hotel group is also set to open Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villas in Abu Dhabi this year and already has hotels on the Sir Bani Yas Island and the Liwa Desert.

It opened its first city-based UAE hotel in the Eastern Mangroves district of Abu Dhabi last year.

The hotel group says the new resort promotes the brand’s reputation for luxury discovery in the region.
