Banyan Tree debuts in Dubai

Banyan Tree is opening its first property in Dubai, fronting the shoreline of lifestyle destination Bluewaters Dubai.

Banyan Tree Dubai’s 178 rooms have been renovated by Blink Design, ranging from 54m² to 315m² in size. Guests will find sophisticated luxury accented by local touches, natural light-filled living spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows, balconies with panoramic ocean views and Banyan Tree amenities in marble-clad bathrooms. The newly completed four-bedroom villa spans 4,465m² of luxury space, with its own pool and private beach access. 

Banyan Tree Residences Dubai offers 96 fully furnished private apartments in one, two, three and four-bedroom configurations. Coupling the comforts of a stylish home with five-star hotel amenities, the apartments are pet-friendly, equipped with high-end kitchen appliances, and offer residents a dedicated 24-hour concierge, valet, maintenance and security.

Banyan Tree Dubai’s seven dining experiences offer post-beach eating as well as sophisticated destination dining venues from an array of chefs. At relaxed poolside eatery Alizee, chefs serve up a French Mediterranean concept; Demon Duck by celebrity Chef Alvin Leung presents a playful twist on Chinese cuisine; while TakaHisa offers a wealth of Japanese classics. Additionally, guests can expect cocktails and live music at Havana Social Club; rare teas at Japanese Tea Lounge Tocha; and Mediterranean tapas at The Shack pool bar.

Available for events are three meeting rooms, a business centre and a 750m² ballroom, which can be sectioned into two. Meanwhile, the resort’s collection of outdoor event spaces ranges from seaside venues overlooking the gulf to an intimate garden with a private entrance and a poolside deck.

In addition to three outdoor swimming pools, the resort offers a fitness centre, beauty salon and spa. At Banyan Tree Gallery, guests can shop for natural bath and body products alongside handicrafts made by local artisans.
