Positioned in one of Dubai’s most prestigious residential neighbourhoods, the Four Seasons Resort Jumeirah Beach offers a rare blend of beachfront tranquillity and immediate access to the city’s most dynamic districts.

Dubai International Airport is approximately 20 minutes away by car, ensuring a smooth and stress-free arrival and departure. 

Whether your itinerary calls for business meetings, luxury shopping, fine dining, or seaside serenity, the Four Seasons Jumeirah Beach strikes a flawless balance between calm and connectivity.

Rooms and Suites 

A stay at Four Seasons Jumeirah Beach is nothing short of sublime, with its beautifully curated rooms and suites crafted to cocoon guests in elegance, comfort, and intentional luxury. Each space is a masterclass in understated opulence, where soft, natural tones and contemporary Arabian design elements come together to create a calming aesthetic that reflects the beauty of the surrounding desert and sea.

Whether you choose a room with panoramic views of Dubai’s soaring skyline or with a view of the tranquil turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf, waking up here will feel like the beginning of a beautiful day. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite natural light to dance through the rooms, while oversized private terraces blur the boundaries between indoor refinement and the serene outdoor landscape.

At the heart of the experience is the legendary Four Seasons signature mattress. With its promise to provide just the right balance of comfort, support and optimal temperature management, and paired with the crisp, high-thread-count linens, you’ll have the perfect combination for a restorative night’s sleep. The sense of comfort continues into the bathrooms, where polished marble surfaces, deep soaking tubs, and walk-in rainfall showers create a spa-like retreat. Dual vanities, plush Four Seasons’ robes, and indulgent amenities from Diptyque elevate everyday rituals into moments of quiet luxury, whether you’re getting ready for a night out or winding down after an afternoon on the beach.

Room categories range from the spacious Deluxe City-View Rooms to the Premier Sea-View Rooms, each offering over 70 square metres of living space. For the ultimate indulgent experience, book one of the suites which will evoke a residential feel with separate living areas, marble-clad bathrooms with deep soaking tubs, and dressing rooms worthy of the most discerning traveller. 

Suite life  

During my stay, I had the privilege of experiencing the expansive 136-square-metre Jumeirah Sea-View Suite, and from the moment I stepped inside, it felt less like a hotel room and more like a welcoming home away from home. The spacious living room immediately drew me in as it provided the perfect setting to unwind with a morning coffee, whilst the enclosed balcony opened up to endless views of the glistening sea that I enjoyed from the daybed.

The bedroom was nothing short of impressive, anchored by a king-sized bed draped in the signature logo-embroidered crisp, white linens that Four Seasons is renowned for. Yet, it was the bathroom that truly stole the show for me. A stunning, oversized freestanding bathtub sat against a striking mosaic backdrop, its reflective surface capturing the light in a way that brought the space to life. It was a tranquil escape within the suite itself, and gave me the opportunity to indulge in moments of serene reflection.

Culinary Journeys 

Culinary temptation awaits at every turn, with a portfolio of refined restaurants both within the resort and in the adjacent Restaurant Village. Whether you’re in the mood for Mediterranean classics, elevated Middle Eastern fare, or avant-garde global cuisine, there’s no need to venture beyond the resort’s elegant confines as every craving is exquisitely catered to.

A particular highlight of my stay was lunch at the resort’s acclaimed signature restaurant, Sea Fu. Holding Michelin recognition, this chic, beachside venue marries sophisticated Asian-inspired cuisine with the serene ambiance of the Arabian Gulf. Whether seated indoors amidst stylish, contemporary décor or al fresco on the breezy terrace with uninterrupted sea views, the experience is equally captivating. The menu celebrates the freshest seafood, artfully prepared and beautifully presented—each dish a harmonious balance of flavour, texture, and innovation. It’s a dining destination that effortlessly encapsulates the refined spirit of the Four Seasons brand.

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, there’s no better vantage point than Mercury Rooftop Bar, the resort’s seductive, sky-high lounge. Tucked away above the buzz of the city, this elevated retreat offers a sophisticated ambience with just the right measure of glamour. From the moment the elevator doors open, you’re drawn into a space that shimmers with oceanic elegance; waves of gold accents, mirrored surfaces, and plush textures echo the sea below and the stars above. With the Dubai skyline sparkling in the distance, Mercury Rooftop is the quintessential spot for a sundowner, offering handcrafted cocktails, elevated bar-bites, and an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere that lingers long after night falls. 

Other Facilities

Beyond the beautiful accommodation and delectable restaurants, Four Seasons Jumeirah Beach boasts an array of facilities designed to elevate every moment of your stay. The wellness offering is particularly impressive, anchored by The Pearl Spa, where expertly delivered treatments take place in one of the ten treatment rooms, enhanced by the serene, Arabian-inspired surroundings. For those looking for something a bit more active, the modern fitness centre outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment caters to both casual gym-goers and dedicated wellness enthusiasts, while personal training and yoga sessions are available upon request.

If you prefer to be outdoors, you can enjoy a leisurely afternoon at the private beach or by one of the resort’s two swimming pools; one reserved for adults seeking tranquillity, the other more lively and family-friendly. Yet the allure extends far beyond the resort itself, with the expert concierge team curating bespoke experiences, from private yacht charters to unforgettable desert safaris.

Every facility, from the elegant boutique stores on-site to the discreet yet attentive beachside service, reflects the resort’s unwavering commitment to understated luxury and personalised care.
