There are places that invite you to stay. Then there are places that make you feel like you’ve arrived. Delano Dubai is one of the latter, a poetic revival of a legendary name, reimagined with a desert soul and a Riviera spirit. Located on Bluewaters Island, where skyline meets sea, Delano Hotels marks Ennismore’s latest chapter in experience-led hospitality, one steeped in mood, materiality, and movement.



“Delano Dubai introduces a fresh resort experience, underscored by a singular blend of social magnetism and chic elegance. Pristine beachfront, vibrant dining and the famed Delano pool beckon guests to a modern escape that is both wonderfully secluded, and at the centre of it all. “



The journey begins at the Blue Door. A bold architectural statement and symbolic passage, it sets the tone for a stay that plays with boundaries, between inside and out, Miami heritage and Middle Eastern grace. Elastic Architects have distilled the Delano magic into something tactile and transportive, layered textures, veiled walkways, rhythmic palm trees, and open-air flow. At the heart of it all, a courtyard terrace bathes in golden sun, echoing the iconic spirit of its South Beach predecessor.


But Delano Dubai isn’t just a place to retreat, it’s a place to gather. The reimagined Rose Bar glows with rose-marble warmth and Italian flair, while Gohan, a sultry, wood-panelled hideaway, invites guests into a secretive world of Japanese precision and Parisian edge. Downstairs, Tutto Passa whispers Amalfi nights under the stars, and next door, La Cantine Beach Club opens onto a chic coastal playground, effortlessly chic, unmistakably Dubai. Meanwhile, Maison Revka brings an air of Parisian elegancy, with its decadent interiors and theatrical dining experience that transports guests to another world.



This isn’t a throwback. It’s a transformation. A hotel that remembers its roots while writing a new rhythm for a new region. For the modern traveller seeking design with depth, cuisine with culture, and luxury with lightness, Delano Dubai doesn’t just host you. It holds you.
