Banyan Tree has signed a management contract for its first Banyan Tree branded development in the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. In a city of laissez faire architectural expression brimming with out of this world skyscrapers and statement structures, Banyan Tree has chosen to give a unique twist to its hospitality offering in Dubai by creating the city’s first all pool villa resort in the heart of Dubai.
“Dubai has always been an important cornerstone in our expansion strategy in the Middle East. Despite this, we have been deliberate and patient in the selection of the right opportunity and partner to collaborate with in order to ensure that the end product would be truly special. We believe we have achieved this with Banyan Tree Meydan,” said Executive Chairman, Mr Ho Kwon Ping.
Banyan Tree Meydan will be positioned as the first golf and equestrian resort in the Middle East and will comprise about 60 pool villas of about 400 square meters each.
Located within an integrated project currently being developed by the Meydan LLC, Banyan Tree Meydan will be adjacent to the Meydan Golf Course.
Meydan LLC Chairman, Mr Saeed H Al-Tayer said, “We are delighted in welcoming Banyan Tree to Meydan. Banyan Tree is an extremely well-regarded hospitality brand, known for its luxury, innovation and customer care, and that’s why we see the Group as the perfect partner for Meydan. Banyan Tree Meydan, with its signature pool villa concept, will provide a perfect refuge from the vibrant city, while The Meydan will be the world’s first five-star racecourse grandstand hotel, which shows how this landmark horseracing city is pushing back the boundaries of normal convention.”
