About this hotel
General information
Banyan Tree Dubai opened in November 2018 on Bluewaters, a man-made island off the Dubai coast. The hotel runs along its own half-kilometre beach, and its contemporary architecture and pared-back design sit naturally within the island’s forward-looking landscape.
Rooms face the sea or the gardens; restaurants recognised by the Michelin and Gault&Millau guides serve Chinese and Japanese cooking, and the Havana Social Club bar conjures 1920s Cuba. Three pools, a Banyan Tree Spa, water sports and a gym complete the picture. For events there are three meeting rooms, a 500-guest ballroom and outdoor spaces, and weddings and honeymoon programmes are arranged on site. The Banyan Tree Gallery boutique, a beauty salon, limousine service and a concierge are on hand.
