[gallery size="medium" td_select_gallery_slide="slide" td_gallery_title_input="Your new summer home away from home, at Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf" ids="128890,128891,128892"] Many travelers from the Kingdom know the famous Burj Al Arab hotel, which is easily considered the most prominent architectural icon on the coast of Dubai, or the famous Madinat Jumeirah with its charming souq-inspired walkways, serene canals, and stunning hotels — but the true hidden gem at the heart of the sunbathed Jumeirah coastline is Dar Al Masyaf, a collection of exclusive, private villas, perfect for family vacations. Located within the picturesque gardens of the delightful Madinat Jumeirah development, all XX Dar Al Masyaf villas offer an individual haven of tranquillity for families coming from Saudi Arabia seeking both privacy and accessibility to the best that Dubai has to offer. Spacious and with a unique, Arabian-themed design, each villa features a luxuriously furnished living room, spacious balconies, private in-villa service, and, most important to cool off in the coming warm months, a private swimming pool. With the facilities of Madinat Jumeirah right on your doorstep, accessible via a walk through verdant gardens or a ride aboard Jumeirah's traditional circuit along the quiet canals, everything guests could need is right on the doorstep of their own secluded oasis. Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf has proved popular amongst guests too, having achieved a strong 9.2 rating on booking.com, just 0.1 points behind Dubai's highest-rated property, Burj Al Arab. On TripAdvisor, Dar Al Masyaf has earned a 5-star rating based on responses by more than 3,600 guests. Azar Saliba, general manager at Jumeirah Group, Jumeirah, said: "When designing the luxurious Dar Al Masyaf villas, we had today's modern Arab family in mind. They have certainly proved popular with families from Saudi Arabia, who comprised XX per cent of the guests who enjoyed a stay in Dar Al Masyaf in 2016. We've found that summer homes are the preferred choice for guests from the Kingdom over the traditional-style hotel rooms or suites, because of the spaciousness offered by villas that are as well-appointed and thoughtfully designed as those included in the Dar Al Masyaf development. "Within our villas, you can feel at home – and with in-villa service plus a swimming pool of your own, there's no need to leave during your vacation. Of course, if guests do want to explore, they have the entirety of Madinat Jumeirah right on their doorstep, as well as the whole of Dubai easily accessible at any time." The Madinat Jumeirah development covers 2 km of pristine coastline, and includes several premium properties. These include the brand new Jumeirah Al Naseem, Jumeirah Mina A'Salam, Jumeirah Al Qasr, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf, and the iconic Burj Al Arab hotel. Madinat Jumeirah has more than 40 international restaurants and lounges, ensuring every taste is catered for, from Lebanese to French, Mexican to Asian, Arabian to American, and many more. —SG Jumeirah Group, the global luxury hotel company and a member of Dubai Holding, operates a world-class portfolio of hotels and resorts including the flagship Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts manages properties in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, UAE, and Kuwait in the Middle East; Baku, Frankfurt, Istanbul, London and Mallorca (Spain) in Europe; the Maldives and Shanghai in Asia Set on a private beach, Madinat Jumeirah resort is an authentic recreation of ancient Arabia, capturing the natural beauty of the region.
