Alright, so Jumeirah Al Naseem opened in 2016, but the beach resort is the newest hotel in the Madinat Jumeirah collection. As well as being able to enjoy secluded staycation vibes, you can also make the most of your stay by hopping around the neighbouring resorts, which gives you access to sooooo many food and nightlife options. You can also get up close and personal with the Burj Al Arab while you chill in cabanas on the private beach.
