Who Marsa Al Arab’s restaurants are for

Why book them

You want dinner by the sea with the Burj Al Arab in front, a different cuisine every night without a taxi, or a Saturday brunch with the children.

Menus and prices

When to look elsewhere

You want a casual or cheap supper: nearly every venue asks for elegant dress at night and several take no children under 7, while Souk Madinat, 26 minutes away on foot, has places for every budget.

All the restaurants

An island built for eating

At Marsa Al Arab the restaurants are half the plan: the hotel’s own FAQ describes them as a destination in their own right.

The resort opened in March 2025 on an island between Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the Burj Al Arab. Its FAQ counts 11 restaurants and 4 bars by international designers, plus 5 restaurants and cafés on the marina; the marina page counts 6, open 7am to 2am.

Half the tables face the sea. Iliana lays its tables on the beach, with a rooftop reopening for the new season; Kira mixes Japan and the Mediterranean with the Burj Al Arab’s sail behind it; Madame Li and Mirabelle have open-air terraces for the cooler months.

Not everything is run by Jumeirah: Kira, The Cullinan and LITT Bar Club have their own phones and addresses, and Kira’s menu adds a 10% service charge to the bill, while Rialto’s and the other Jumeirah venues’ menus already include it.

In the last 12 months of Google reviews breakfast is the most praised thing about the resort: 88 mention it, averaging 4.5 stars. For the bill, the October 2026 menus are the guide: a pasta at Rialto runs from AED 120 to AED 240, and the omakase at Kira is AED 750.
