Avani Hotels & Resorts will open a property in Dubai in 2020, to include both hotel suites and branded residences, as well as an AvaniSpa.

Developed by real estate firm Alfahim, the 48-storey new-build property will be the third Avani in Dubai and will represent the launch of Avani residences in the region. Avani Hotel Suites & Branded Residences will be located directly overlooking the famous Palm Jumeirah, adjacent to Dubai Marina and Media City.

Designed by architects AECOM, the suites and residences will offer floor-to-ceiling windows, interactive living and private terraces featuring views of The Palm or the city. The Residences will be a mix of one, two, three and four bedrooms.

The AvaniSpa will offer treatments designed around four pillars of Boost, Balance, Calm, or Purify. Additional facilities will include an all-day dining restaurant, a casual dining outlet and a bar connected to the swimming pool. An Avanifit will offer gym facilities as well as a lap pool and guided fitness programme.

“When it opens in 2020, the impressive AVANI Hotel Suites & Branded Residences will be our third property in Dubai, signalling the brand’s steady growth in the region as well as around the world,” said Alejandro Bernabe, Vice President AVANI Hotels & Resorts.
