Luxury travellers will soon have a new jewel to discover on Dubai's famous Palm Jumeirah. The Alba, a US$1.9 billion development, promises to elevate the luxury hospitality scene in the emirate.

Set to open in 2028, this lavish coastal haven will feature Dorchester Collection's second hotel in Dubai, offering globetrotters an unparalleled blend of opulence and serenity.

Designed by the acclaimed Zaha Hadid Architects, The Alba boasts a prime location on Palm Jumeirah's Eastern Crescent, treating guests to breathtaking views of Dubai Marina, Burj Al Arab, and Burj Khalifa.

Christopher Cowdray, President of Dorchester Collection, highlighted the guest experience: "Each space will be a sanctuary within an exclusive enclave that will offer guests both privacy and serenity in this dynamic city."

The development will house what developers claim will be Dubai's largest wellness centre, promising visitors a world-class spa retreat. Guests can look forward to indulgent amenities including infinity pools, vitality pools, and lush tropical gardens leading down to the waterfront.

Mahdi Amjad, Founder & Executive Chairman of OMNIYAT, added: "We're providing a level of luxury previously unseen in the emirate."

While part of the complex includes private residences, the hotel component is set to become a must-visit destination for luxury travellers seeking a unique coastal experience in Dubai's ever-evolving hospitality landscape.
