JA Jebel Ali Beach Hotel

Drive approximately 30min from Dubai

JA has mastered the art of blending luxury with a cozy, family-friendly vibe, and the JA Beach Resort near Jebel Ali Palm is no exception. It’s a paradise for families, offering everything you could dream of in a resort. Picture this: a long, pristine beach, multiple sparkling pools, a splash park packed with slides, animal encounters, horseback riding, water sports like surfing, a golf course, a laid-back marina, and even an adults-only beach club for when you need a breather. All of this comes at fair prices, making it a beloved staycation spot for Dubai residents for decades.

The standard rooms, though smaller than those in newer properties, exude modern comfort, easily accommodating two adults and a child in a cot bed. Opt for the sea view rooms to soak in stunning vistas of the pools and beach, or choose a garden view villa to enjoy the lush greenery that surrounds the resort.

Speaking of nature, close to the horse stables, you’ll also find a variety of wild birds being cared for at the resort. I was thrilled to learn that all the birds are either being nurtured back to health, trained for release into the wild, or are working birds for shows. The bird trainers are passionate animal lovers, always eager to share their knowledge and answer any questions about these magnificent creatures

Scattered among the greenery and tranquil pathways, you'll find 4 pools, a splash park, and a private stretch of sandy beach, complete with sunbeds, pool bars, and a beachfront restaurant. Kids aged 4-12 can enjoy non-stop fun at the resort’s kids' club, available for a small hourly fee.

JA Beach Resort features three distinct properties: the central Beach Hotel, the serene Palm Tree Court close to the beach, and the new Lake View resort near the golf course. Dining options abound, with a tempting variety of restaurants, from Spanish tapas to Asian cuisine, an international buffet, and an Indian restaurant—choosing where to eat first might just be the hardest part of your day!

For those looking to indulge without staying overnight, the resort offers a day pass for 350 AED per adult, with 150 AED redeemable for food and drinks.
