About Burj Al Arab Jumeirah

Jumeirah Burj Al Arab is an all-suite hotel on a man-made island 280 metres off Jumeirah Beach, with a helipad, a ballroom and a garden available for weddings.

Jumeirah Burj Al Arab stands on a man-made island 280 metres off Jumeirah Beach in Dubai, linked to the mainland by a curving causeway. The sail-shaped tower rises 321 metres and holds an all-suite hotel of two-storey duplexes, each with floor-to-ceiling windows over the Gulf and its own butler. The Terrace below has two pools, 32 cabanas and a stretch of private sand, and Talise Spa sits 150 metres above the water.

Weddings use several different spaces. The helipad, 212 metres above the Gulf, is reserved for small ceremonies of up to 8 guests. The Marina Garden is an open-air lawn seating 100 to 150, and the Suha and Tameen rooms on the 27th floor hold up to 60. The Al Falak Ballroom, modelled on a Viennese opera house, takes up to 250 seated guests or 300 standing. Menus are written with the hotel's culinary team, with custom cakes from its pastry kitchen. Dining on site includes Al Muntaha, which holds a Michelin star, and Al Mahara, set beside a floor-to-ceiling aquarium. The hotel advises enquiring 6 to 12 months ahead for peak dates.

Our Burj Moment

We had the pleasure of visiting the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, and it’s honestly hard to put into words how exceptional the experience was.
From the moment we walked in, we were treated with such warmth and attention. The staff made us feel like old friends, and every space — from the ballroom to the private suites — was even more breathtaking in person.
We toured the wedding areas, sampled the food, and even had a quiet moment in the spa overlooking the sea. It’s one of those places that stays with you — everything is thoughtful, luxurious, and surprisingly personal.
If you're considering a wedding at Burj Al Arab, please note that you're not booking a venue. You're stepping into a dream, and they make sure it feels entirely your own.
