Kleindienst Group, an international real estate developer, has launched the Dh1 billion Marbella Resort Hotel as part of The Heart of Europe project on The World Islands in Dubai. The hotel will be one of the many developments on The Heart of Europe, which has been running late for over a decade. Marbella Resort Hotel is the latest addition to IHG Hotels and Resorts’ Vignette Collection, replicating Marbella’s Andalusian architecture. It features 150 rooms and will be the first hotel to offer its guests private coral reefs for exploration. Surrounded by 500,000 square metres of nine coral reef types and over 30 fish species, it boasts a one-kilometre-long winding street where intermittent cooling rain showers bring the essence of Costa Del Sol to the UAE.
The hotel blends Spanish-inspired architecture with amenities like gardens for meditation, sunken courtyards, and citrus and olive groves. Guests can opt for suites, chalets, or cabanas with views of the sea, snow plaza, or unique raining street. They can also enjoy diverse European cuisines across six restaurants. A hammam, set in a cave-like architectural style, offers various massage treatments.
Josef Kleindienst, Chairman of Kleindienst Group, said, “We could not be prouder of this new project. The Marbella Resort Hotel, Vignette Collection is a testament to our commitment of delivering exceptional experiences that are also true to our commitment to sustainability. We envisioned a destination that provides a unique cultural escape with experiences that are authentically Spanish, right here in Dubai. We have been conscious of our commitment to making our projects environment friendly, with employment of solar power and adoption of policies aimed at zero discharge of microplastics. This is just the beginning of our journey to redefine regional hospitality standards.”
The property offers flexible pricing along with guaranteed annual returns of 8.33 percent over 12 years. Limited unit availability and rising prices on The World Islands make this a highly appealing opportunity for both UAE and international investors.
The development features 100 percent solar power usage, zero microplastic release, pesticide-free landscaping, and initiatives for coral breeding to enhance reef restoration and marine biodiversity conservation efforts.
