Nestled in a residential area, this luxury resort is close to the city’s main attractions, such as Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and Palm Jumeirah, all reachable within a few minutes' drive. Ideal for both business travelers and tourists, it perfectly combines seaside relaxation with quick access to business and entertainment districts. Dubai International Airport is only 25 minutes away, facilitating travel.
Refined Oriental Charm
The Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach embodies a perfect blend of contemporary elegance and Middle Eastern opulence. From the moment of arrival, a sense of grandeur emerges with traditional wind towers, delicate mashrabiya screens, and authentic lanterns, evoking the atmosphere of an Arabian palace. The sand-colored buildings, surrounded by lush gardens and majestic palm trees, blend harmoniously into the coastal landscape.
Inside, the bright lobby with its marble floors, golden ceilings, and sparkling mosaics creates a refined and welcoming atmosphere. Every detail, from the modern furniture to traditional touches like hanging lamps, contributes to a decidedly luxurious style. Guests are captivated from the first steps by a large bay window offering panoramic views of the manicured gardens, beach, and deep blue sea, adding a touch of serenity to this sumptuous setting.
Spacious Suites and Sophisticated Details
This luxury hotel offers 237 elegantly decorated rooms, including 49 suites. The entry-level rooms, such as the Deluxe category, cover an impressive 70 square meters, making them some of the largest in Dubai. Each room and suite has a balcony with a view of either the beach or the shimmering downtown skyline, with the iconic Burj Khalifa in the background.
We had the privilege of staying in a 108 m² Four Seasons Sea View Suite, with separate bedroom and living room, as well as a guest bathroom. We were amazed by the spacious suite with its generous layout and luxurious ambiance, ideal for family vacations or a romantic getaway.
The rooms, both elegant and comfortable, are decorated in soothing neutral tones, with plush carpets, modern art, and discreet floral wallpaper. Among the standout details, each room is equipped with a clothes steamer, tablets for intuitive service control, wireless Bose speakers, as well as beach bags and slippers for guests' comfort. In some rooms, cocktail preparation kits with a shaker and strainer integrated into the minibar enhance the sophisticated atmosphere, as was the case in our Four Seasons Sea View Suite.
The spacious bathrooms, with their double sinks and large showers, also feature a bathtub framed by a gray and white mosaic, adding an artistic touch to these marble spaces. The care products are by the French luxury brand Diptyque, which I particularly love.
Breakfast at Shai Salon: A Blend of Gourmet Delights and Refinement
The hearty breakfast buffets, served every morning at Shai Salon, are true gourmet events. With a multitude of stations, guests can indulge in Middle Eastern staples, irresistible French pastries, and a selection of exotic fruits. Cheese, charcuterie, toast, and hot dish lovers are not left out. A la carte, freshly prepared dishes such as avocado toast, eggs Benedict, or French toast complete the experience. An ideal feast to start the day on the right foot!
Our Dinner at Sea Fu: Asian Flavors and Gourmet Creations
The Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach is a true gastronomic paradise, offering an exceptional variety of sophisticated restaurants and bars. Among the must-try options, Sea Fu offers delicate fusion cuisine by the sea, while the Restaurant Village brings together renowned international institutions like Coya, ensuring a high-level culinary diversity. Whether it’s a refined dinner or a night under the stars on one of the elegant rooftops, every meal here is an invitation to explore Dubai’s vibrant flavors, where innovation and tradition harmoniously merge.
We had the pleasure of dining at Sea Fu, the signature restaurant, on our first evening. After a first discovery during a terrace lunch a few months ago (read our review here: The Flavors of Asia Meet the Luxury of Dubai at Sea Fu), we opted this time for the indoor dining room to rediscover the subtle Asian flavors. The evening began beautifully with the Taj Mahal and Machu Picchu cocktails. For starters, tuna and eel nigiri, shrimp tempura, and duck salad transported us directly to Japan.
Main courses followed with seared sea bass accompanied by mussels, dabu dabu relish, daikon, ginger seafood emulsion, as well as shrimp pad thai that immediately transported us to Thailand. For dessert, the Sea Fu Cloud, with its light and crispy meringue, Amarena marmalade, sakura chantilly, and cherry sorbet, was a true delight, as was the yuzu and passion fruit cheesecake, accompanied by poached nashi pear and a goji berry and hibiscus sauce.
The Art of Afternoon Tea at Shai Salon
The Afternoon Tea is held in the sumptuous Shai Salon of the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach. The menu, evolving with the seasons, reflects the flavors and ingredients of the moment. Currently, pastry chef Nicolas Lambert draws inspiration from herbalism and apothecary traditions. Under the theme 'The Herbalist's Apothecary,' this tea time offers a refined selection of sweet and savory treats, each creation highlighting an herb with specific properties.
The experience begins with savory bites such as cucumber with dill and labneh on spinach bread, paired with carefully chosen teas: a Genmaicha Matcha Iri for him and a Dragon Well - Long Jing for me. Sweet treats follow, enchanting the taste buds with creations like almond, blueberry, and lemon balm cookies, known for their soothing properties, or a strawberry and basil cheesecake, which subtly blends the fruitiness of strawberries with the fresh notes of basil. Special mention goes to the chocolate and mint opera cake, where the freshness of the mint enhances the intensity of the chocolate, offering a moment of pure gustatory pleasure, not forgetting the traditional scones.
Hendricks Bar: A Hub of Experimental Mixology
Among the various bars is the Hendricks Bar. Every drink is meticulously crafted by mixologist artisans, drawing inspiration from the recipes of the great traveler Sir James Hendricks. With elegant interiors featuring dark wood finishes and plush sofas, this classic gentleman’s lounge is a true institution of experimental mixology, crafted with the finest spirits and an expert touch.
Sensory Journey at the Pearl Spa: When Emirati Culture Enhances Well-being
The Pearl Spa is a haven of peace where refinement meets the cultural heritage of the United Arab Emirates. With its 10 elegantly appointed treatment rooms and separate aqua-thermal facilities for men and women, this wellness sanctuary offers an unparalleled relaxation experience. Its stunning indoor pool, bathed in natural light through a magnificent glass dome, also invites serenity. Inspired by Dubai’s pearl diving tradition, each treatment embodies an intimate connection with the desert, oasis, and sea. The spa offers a range of skincare and body treatments, using local ingredients like camel milk, honey, clay, and pearls, while relying on renowned brands such as Biologique Recherche, Sodashi, and Dr. Burgener for facial treatments.
During our visit, my husband and I fully enjoyed the benefits of the Signature Pearl Spa massage, a bespoke experience that perfectly met our wellness expectations. After a personalized consultation to identify our specific needs, tailored techniques were used, combined with refined oils from the spa’s exclusive collection. Pure relaxation guaranteed!

Private Beach and Dream Pools
A palm-lined promenade leads to the private beach of the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach. Here, 270 meters of golden sand stretch along the crystal-clear, soothing waters of the Arabian Gulf, offering an ideal tropical escape. Whether you wish to indulge in water activities or simply enjoy a moment of relaxation in a private cabana, everything is designed for an unparalleled experience. Two stunning outdoor pools, nestled in landscaped gardens, complete this oasis: one peaceful pool, where we spent an entire afternoon, reserved for adults, and another welcoming families, each bordered by cabanas offering exclusive comfort.
The Excellence of Service: A Four Seasons Signature Experience
Exceptional service is a true hallmark of the Four Seasons group, and this one is no exception. The warm and attentive staff perfectly embodies the brand’s philosophy: treating every guest with the same care they would like to receive.
