The word ‘impressive’ cannot fully describe this world-class villa. Sufficient to say, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is quite an experience and for tourists and travellers alike, it is a holiday, which they never want to end.
The prime inspiration behind Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is its attempt to return to the ‘Golden Age’. This hotel presents you mesmerizing views of the Arabian Gulf, but more interestingly, the lobby strikes the first impression with a massive chandelier that is suspended over the water fountain. This chandelier is only one of the 165 others that are laden all over the luxury resort, illuminating the hotel’s interior. These chandeliers are a reproduction of the Topkapi and Dolmabahce palaces that grace the city of Istanbul.
Other than that, the interior features beautiful hand-painted finishing, Turkish artworks along with stunning murals that take you back to the time of Ottoman Empire. The lavish murals are a brief reminder of a magnificent period in the past. The feel of hospitality is abundantly present throughout the design and line-up of services offered by the resort.
Steering clear from the conventional interior design hotels Dubai, this resort makes ample use of the Turkish architecture in terms of light which is used as a decorative element. Cleverly placed all across the interior of the resort, it plays tricks on the eyes while the majestic chandeliers further accentuate the beauty of the inner spaces all the white creating dynamic patterns and illusions. These chandeliers were a key feature in the Ottoman Empire.
Keeping in mind the conformist Dubai hotel interior design, this beach resort also boasts of a private white sand beach with turquoise waters, which belongs to the Arabian Gulf. You can kick back and relax by the infinity pool or take a dip in the Jacuzzi. A game of tennis in the floodlit courts is ever so inviting. This hotel is conveniently centered on a corridor that is 200 meters. The design of the ceiling in the corridor consists of grand chandeliers and pointed arches. The design of the floor resonates of the Ottoman art since it composed of black and white marble.

The doors are made from hard-carved turquoise, which gives you a kingly feeling. You would be surprised to know that this spa has won many travel awards. It is visually delightful but is also replete with healing and beauty treatments that rejuvenate the senses.
The lighting is the most interesting prospect in this luxury beach resort. It encompasses guest rooms, landscape and major public spaces (which includes corridors, central atrium and restaurants). For the façade, the overall colour configuration is set to be warmish white temperature. This augments the cozy impact of the hotel in the surrounding area. The concept of the design aims at replicating certain aspects of Ottoman’s architectural design, including domes, columns, vaults and emphasis strictly remain on Turkish architectural details to form harmony between exterior and interior spaces.
For a swift application, the luminary’s specification was studied in order to blend the diverse functional spaces which assisted in defining the ambience.
The luxury beach resort boasts of 30,000 square meters of marble stone, which are crafted by Turkish craftsmen. These marbles are outsourced from two Turkish cities, popular for their production of marble. These particular tiles are immune to cold and heated conditions.
