Viceroy's first property in Dubai will have boutique spa
Global hotel and resort operator Viceroy has confirmed its next management contract will be for the Viceroy Palm Jumeirah resort in Dubai, which is on schedule to open this spring.
The contemporary property will have 477 rooms and suites spread across 16 floors – some with private pools.
The US$1bn development is the first hotel investment from Skai Holdings, the Dubai-based real estate business and has been designed by Yabu Pushelberg and NAO Taniyama & Associates.
The beachside resort’s location on the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah will give access to Dubai’s business districts and airports, as well as local tourist attractions.
The hotel's boutique spa will extend over 1,675sq m (18029.55sq ft) with 14 treatment rooms (10 indoor/4 outdoor), offering body and face treatments for men and women.
Equipment is by Gharieni, and includes MO series and MLX Quartz treatment beds - it is the only spa in the world with three quartz beds.
The spa will also have a hamman and relaxation lounge, as well as a pool and cafe.
In addition to a selection of Viceroy Signature Experiences, there will also be a range of fitness and energy programmes supported by Viceroy’s signature wellness principles of "balance, breath and beauty".
The Viceroy Palm Jumeirah will have five restaurants, a rooftop bar, nightclub and beach club.
The resort will also house three swimming pools, including one 55m long which runs through the heart of the property.
Following the current trend for leveraging core facilities to support further real estate sales, the development will also have 222 signature Viceroy Residences for sale.
Los Angeles-based Viceroy currently manages 11 properties around the world, with others under development. It has satellite offices in Dallas and Abu Dhabi.
The company will also open Viceroy Jumeirah Village, Dubai and Viceroy Princes' Islands (Istanbul) in 2018 and Viceroy Bocas del Toro Panama and Viceroy at Ombria Resort in Portugal in 2019, bringing the total to 15.
Viceroy is 50 per cent owned by Mubadala, the investment vehicle of the government of Abu Dhabi.
