What Jumeirah International does

Jumeirah International (legal entity: Jumeirah Group) is a Dubai-headquartered, privately held luxury hospitality company founded in 1997 and wholly owned by Dubai Holding, a UAE state-backed investment conglomerate. It owns, manages, and operates a portfolio of luxury hotels and resorts — most prominently the Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and the Madinat Jumeirah Resort — serving affluent international travelers, wellness-focused guests, and event clientele. As of 2026 the group had expanded into European resort markets via the Jumeirah Mallorca property in Spain, part of Dubai Holding Hospitality's 34-property portfolio.

The company generates revenue primarily through luxury hotel operations (rooms, food and beverage, spa, and event hosting), supplemented by branded-residence licensing (notably Jumeirah Residences Asora Bay with developer Meraas) and lifestyle brand collaborations such as the Jumeirah Heritage Club capsule collection with fashion label Bouguessa. Its technology and differentiation rest on a traditional luxury hospitality operating model layered with long-running marine conservation programs (Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project, coral restoration, Jumeirah Eco Village) and selective wellness technology partnerships (Hapbee Smart Sleep Pads). Distribution runs through direct hotel operations, third-party management agreements, residential brand licensing, and embedded technology partnerships.

The flagship Burj Al Arab entered an 18-month restoration in April 2026 — its first major refurbishment since 1999 — which will temporarily remove the group's most iconic revenue-generating asset until October 2027. Jumeirah has 10,000+ employees and operates across the UAE, Spain, and select international markets, with growth signaled through European expansion, Africa tourism investment pledges, and lifestyle/fashion brand extensions.
