Temporarily closed

The hotel is closed for restoration since April 2026, expected to reopen around late 2027. You can still see it from the public beach next to it.

Sail-shaped hotel on its own island, one of Dubai's most recognisable icons.

Good to know

The best free view is from Umm Suqeim beach, next to Kite Beach.
