Al Naseem at Madinat

Set across its own private beach, Madinat Jumeirah Resort is an authentic recreation of ancient Arabia, capturing the natural beauty of the region. Madinat Jumeirah comprises three grand hotels: Jumeirah Al Qasr, Jumeirah Mina A’Salam and the newly opened Jumeirah Al Naseem.

Jumeirah Al Naseem’s extensive lush gardens edge the sandy beach, providing pockets of privacy and peacefulness. Proudly overlooking Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, this is a place where the rhythmic lapping of the waves gently filters through a bedroom window left ajar. Where the smell of the sea is carried on a warm breeze across to rooms, open terraces and outdoor restaurants.

Arriving at Al Naseem, it is clear that this is a departure from a typical Dubai resort, understated, peaceful and friendly, the lobby is a place with a gentle energy, with guests mingling, taking tea and looking out over the mature gardens and pool areas out to sea.

One of the most appealing aspects of Al Naseem is that the surrounding areas are all fully built, meaning that the hotel is one of those rare places in Dubai where there is an absence of building work in your direct views. While being very central, located next to the Burj al Arab between the downtown and marina areas, the hotel has a very peaceful ambience, and is an ideal place to relax.

The grounds feature a number of pools and food outlets, all looking out to sea, and something unique in Dubai, there is also a turtle sanctuary incorporated into the hotel grounds where you can see the animals being reared and released into the wild.

All hotel guests benefit from free access to the Sinbad Kids Club and KiDS at Jumeirah Al Naseem.

Located in front of the leisure pool at the Al Qasr hotel, Sinbad's offers over 1000 square meters of wet and soft play.

The best time to visit the UAE is between October and November and then February and March, when temperatures hang around the mid-20s and the humidity is under control. While December and January are generally considered the best months to go, the weather over the last couple of ‘winters’ has been unpredictable with occasional cloud and rain.

The month of Ramadan means hotel rates are heavily discounted, but while outside the resort, Ramadan is strictly adhered to, within the resorts you will notice very little difference.

High summer (July and August) means heavy discounted hotels it’s a great option for a cheap getaway but it will be very very hot and very very humid!
