Deira Island development
The region is anticipating the new development that will connect old and new Dubai
UAE-based master developer Nakheel and leading Thai hotel group Centara Hotels & Resorts today cemented their AED500 million joint venture with a construction contract worth AED290.5 million to build a 601-room beachfront resort at Dubai’s Deira Islands. It will be Centara’s first hotel in Dubai, and the UAE. The resort will feature a waterpark, multiple restaurants, kids’ club, spa, fitness centre and business facilities, transforming ‘Old Dubai’ into a world-class hub for retail, tourism, living and leisure, and will add 40 km, including 21km of beach, to Dubai’s coastline.
