Dubai is not just giving us tall towers and magnificent structures on land; it’s going beyond. Just as we talk about the floating museum coming to Dubai, there’s one more venue that’ll soon be spotted floating in the Emirate. The iconic Buddha-Bar brand is bringing a concept that will surprise you like you never imagined. The region’s first Buddha-Bar Hotel and Floating Residences is set to open on Dubai’s World Islands.
Buddha-Bar’s First Hotel & Floating Residences Comes To Dubai’s World Islands
As mentioned in their press release, it’s developed by Buddha-Bar Real Estate Development and exclusively managed by Yieldhaüs. This new landmark blends island living with the signature Buddha-Bar energy. Its a perfect blend of musical, stylish and gives private island escape vibes.
The Buddha-Bar Hotel
With 162 keys, the hotel will include branded residences on one entire floor. Expect rich reds, warm golds, Asian-colonial touches, chandeliers, signature sculptures, and that transportive lounge-style atmosphere that portrays the Buddha-Bar mood perfectly.
Guests can look forward to curated soundscapes with a culinary offering inspired by Pacific Rim flavours. Also, the Eastern-meets-modern spa is perfect for someone looking to full sensory reset.
Floating Residences That’s Not Less Than Sanctuary
There will be 24 Floating Residences by Buddha-Bar, each 4,000 sq ft. Each one will span three levels for up to eight guests, including rooftop, sea level, and underwater. Residence has been made with refined materials and has panoramic marine views. You can also opt for the optional Bentley Home Furnishings to level up the luxury.
