“We are excited to announce our first Anantara property in Dubai which is a significant milestone for Minor. This new resort strengthens our footprint in the key strategic market of the UAE and I am confident it will greatly contribute to our success there,” commented William E. Heinecke, chairman and CEO of Minor International, the owning company of Asian operator Anantara.

“The resort and spa is primarily a leisure and incentive destination and will appeal to visitors from the GCC, Asia and of course the traditional inbound European markets,” added Bin Sulayem.

The Anantara Dubai Palm Jumeirah Resort & Spa is the fourth Anantara property in the UAE, after the group’s three existing Abu Dhabi properties including Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara located on Sir Bani Yas Island, and Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa in the city centre.
