Upcoming Luxury Hotel Openings in Dubai
Dubai continues to attract global luxury brands, and several new hotels are set to open in the coming years, solidifying its position as a top destination for ultra-luxury travelers.
Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has announced its plans to open its first Dubai property by 2029. This will be a major milestone for the brand in the Gulf region. However, Rosewood is not alone in entering this competitive market.
Aman, Baccarat, SHA Wellness, and MGM are also expanding into Dubai, eager to establish a presence in the city’s flourishing ultra-luxury hospitality sector and branded residences.
Why Now?
The luxury market in Dubai has long been favored by top global players. These brands are keen to capitalize on the city’s growing reputation as a hub for elite travelers.

Rosewood just announced it will open in Dubai with a 195-key hotel and eight private garden villas.
Rosewood (2029)
Rosewood Hotels & Resorts is the latest global player to enter the Dubai market, announcing plans for a landmark debut in the emirate by 2029.
The project will include a 195-key hotel, eight villas and 63 branded residences overlooking the Dubai Canal. The site is located within the Peninsula development in Business Bay, a billion-dollar waterfront district by Bright Start—the real estate investment firm also behind Bvlgari Resort Dubai and Aman Dubai.
The announcement follows a string of successful, high-profile openings for Rosewood, including new flagships in Amsterdam and Munich. Last summer, the brand also restored and reopened Austria’s historic Schloss Fuschl, delivering one of Europe’s most impressive hotel revivals.
Rosewood already operates hotels in Abu Dhabi, Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, and Qatar’s Doha. With additional properties underway in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Shura Island, Amaala)—and now Dubai—the brand is steadily expanding its footprint in the Middle East.
Aman Dubai will combine the tranquillity of an Aman resort with Arab hospitality when it opens in 2027.
Aman Dubai (2027)
Set on 1.4 million square feet of beachfront land in Jumeirah 2—an exclusive, low-rise neighborhood just north of the Burj Al Arab—Aman Dubai will include only 80 suites and a private Aman Club.
Developed by Bright Start, the same real estate investment company behind Rosewood’s development, the project reflects Aman’s signature low-density, high-cost approach.
With room rates projected to exceed $3,000 per night, Aman Dubai could become the most expensive hotel per key in the UAE.
Mandarin Oriental Downtown Dubai will have 259 rooms and suites and 224 exclusive residences.
Mandarin Oriental Downtown (October 2025)
Mandarin Oriental announced yesterday that its Dubai property will open in October 2025, marking the brand’s second property in the city. Set within the architecturally striking (because of its ceramic twisting façade) Wasl Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, it will include 259 rooms, 224 branded residences, and a rooftop helipad.
The structure features the region’s tallest ceramic façade and advanced energy-efficient systems, contributing to Dubai’s urban sustainability goals.
The gigantic MGM resort is set to open in Dubai in 2027.
MGM Resorts (2027)
MGM Resorts has spent nearly two decades trying to enter the UAE. After several failed attempts, the company now announced it will open in Dubai in late 2027.
“The Island” will bring the Aria, Bellagio and MGM brand into a 1,400-room beachfront development. Aside from hotels, MGM’s project will have a full-scale entertainment district. Plans feature a performance sphere (similar to the version in Las Vegas) and retail promenade, with space that could one day accommodate gaming. Whether gaming will be allowed depends on regulatory developments: So far, only the Wynn resort in the neighboring Ras Al Khaimah emirate has received a UAE casino license.

The luxury Maltese brand makes its Middle East debut with a 55-story beachfront tower in Dubai Marina that will rise along Sheikh Zayed Road near the Museum of the Future, occupying a two-tower structure connected by a sky lobby 656 feet above ground.
Fun fact: It will feature the world’s highest outdoor sky pool, suspended more than 1,640 feet in the air with 360-degree views of Dubai.
The world’s first island for healthy living and longevity: Sha Wellness Island.
SHA Wellness Island (2026)
Located halfway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi along the Sahel Al Emarat Coast, this man-made wellness island is part of the massive AlJurf development. It will house a SHA Wellness hotel, clinic, spa, and branded residences—the first of their kind globally.
Marketed as the world’s first “healthy living island,” the project signals a new direction for luxury wellness and a focus on longevity in the Gulf region.
Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina: A New Height in Luxury Living
The upcoming Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina is set to become the tallest residential tower in the world. At 122 stories, this US$1 billion project will include a sky-high lap pool, outdoor yoga decks, and state-of-the-art fitness facilities. Expected to open in 2028, it promises ultra-luxury living with wellness services inspired by Six Senses’ resorts.
Why Dubai?
Dubai’s status as a luxury hub is the result of long-term planning and strategic regulatory changes. In 2024, the city attracted $2 billion in foreign investment, accounting for 14% of all FDI. It also saw a 9% increase in international visitors, with nearly 19 million tourists. This growth is fueled by major investments in infrastructure, such as the $35 billion expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport, making it the world’s largest airport.
Rising Luxury in the Skies and Hotels
Emirates Airlines is upgrading its fleet with over 300 new aircraft, including retrofits for its U.S. routes. In hospitality, Dubai continues to expand, adding over 4,000 luxury hotel rooms in 2024 and expected to add more in 2025. Hotel occupancy in the first half of 2025 reached 80.6%, with an increase in room rates and revenue per available room.
Accessing Dubai and the Region
Dubai is becoming increasingly accessible with a new Unified Tourist Visa, allowing travelers to visit multiple countries in the region. Combined with tax-friendly regulations, top schools, and strong real estate gains, Dubai remains a top destination for high-net-worth individuals looking to establish a base in the region.
