Dubai Parks and Resorts' Lapita welcomes guests

Lapita, part of Marriott International’s Autograph Collection, has opened its doors to guests.

Lapita Hotel, which is located in the Dubai Parks and Resorts, is a Polynesian themed resort hotel, with a tribal atmosphere.

The hotel’s name was inspired by the pre-historic people of the Pacific Ocean and their journey and settlement on the islands - the Lapita movement.

The Polynesian theme is carried over to the guest rooms and children’s activity areas.

Lapita has 504 rooms, including 60 suites and three private villas.

On the F&B front Waka will offer international cuisine and live entertainment in the all-day dining concept. Whereas Ari - a pool bar and restaurant – will serve a Mediterranean selection.

Hikina will serve traditional Cantonese dishes with a contemporary touch.

Lapita will also feature Palama - a lobby lounge and a rooftop bar, Lani.

Ola (meaning life, health and well-being) is Lapita’s spa which has 11 treatment rooms including a couple’s suite, hammam room, wellness facilities, aromatherapy steam rooms, saunas, vitality pools and ice fountains.

The hotel will also offer six meeting rooms and a 710m² Tamure ballroom.
