Ennismore, a rapidly expanding lifestyle and leisure hospitality company, has announced the arrival of its renowned Delano brand in the UAE for the first time.
Delano Dubai, set to open later this year at the prestigious Bluewaters Dubai destination, promises to redefine luxury resort experiences, catering to individuals who appreciate meticulous attention to detail, exquisite craftsmanship, and personalised service.
This landmark introduction of Delano to Dubai follows a significant partnership inked between Ennismore and Dubai Holding in 2023, aimed at delivering an unparalleled luxury lifestyle offering in Dubai. Delano Dubai joins the illustrious portfolio at Bluewaters Dubai, following the successful launch of Banyan Tree Dubai late last year.
Delano Dubai will boast 251 guestrooms, including 84 opulent suites, some featuring private pools. The resort will offer exceptional culinary and mixology experiences, an ocean-front swimming pool, and secluded corners for ultimate privacy. Guests will indulge in four distinctive food and beverage concepts, including a unique collaboration with Paris Society for a restaurant and pool club, a patisserie, a Levantine-inspired destination restaurant, and a modern Italian dining experience. Additionally, Delano Dubai will feature a contemporary reinterpretation of Delano’s renowned Rose Bar, promising an unforgettable social experience.
Sharan Pasricha and Gaurav Bhushan, Co-CEOs of Ennismore, expressed their excitement about Delano Dubai’s debut, highlighting its significance in the brand’s global journey. They anticipate Delano Dubai to set new benchmarks in luxury, sophistication, and vibrant energy, mirroring the brand’s legacy of redefining lifestyle hospitality.
Amit Kaushal, Group CEO of Dubai Holding, emphasized the strategic importance of Delano Dubai in elevating Dubai’s position as a premier international tourism destination. He reiterated Dubai Holding’s commitment to delivering unparalleled luxury experiences, further enriching the city’s hospitality landscape.
Delano Dubai will pay homage to its Miami Beach origins while embracing a contemporary aesthetic, featuring signature design elements such as “Delano white” complemented by luxurious materials and natural accents. The resort’s design, crafted in collaboration with leading interior design firms Elastic Architects, LaBottega, and SA Consultants, seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor spaces, fostering a sense of discovery and connection with nature.
Ennismore’s partnership with Cain International in 2024 further underscores its commitment to expanding the iconic Delano brand globally, with plans to reopen Delano Miami Beach.
