Banyan Tree Dubai to open in November

Banyan Tree Dubai will undergo phased improvement work, and the resort will feature 179 rooms, including 30 suites and a new four-bedroom villa with its own private entrance, pool and beach. 

The resort will have five restaurants and bars, while the wellness offering will include the Banyan Tree Spa with a relaxation area, gym, indoor and outdoor yoga spaces, private mini rainforests, hydrotherapy pools and treatment rooms.

Banyan Tree Dubai will also include 96 private residences comprising one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units with a dedicated lobby, outdoor swimming pool and access to the hotel’s facilities.

The project is a deal between Ennismore and Banyan Tree Group – part of the Accor Group – and investment group Dubai Holding. Sebastien Bazin, chairman and chief executive of Accor, said: “We are thrilled to be at the beginning of a promising development partnership between Accor and Dubai Holding, and the announcement of the opening of a stunning Banyan Tree Dubai on Bluewaters is the first of many projects involving our brands in the pipeline to further develop and grow our presence in Dubai and globally.”
