RIU Hotel Deira Islands

• RIU Deira Islands is a planned 4-star hotel and water park resort to be built on Deira Islands.

• The 33-storey hotel will have 800 rooms, making it one of the largest in Dubai. 

• The resort will have a rooftop pool deck, seven food and beverage outlets, three more swimming pools, a fitness complex, a children’s club and a water park.

• Dining facilities will include an all-day restaurant, a speciality restaurant, four beach restaurants and an evening dining area with a stage for live shows and entertainment.

• A two-level podium will contain the food and beverages outlets as well as car parking spaces.

• The water park will take up over 10 percent of the project’s 3.4 million square foot plot.

• The project is a joint venture between master developer Nakheel and Spain's RIU Hotels and Resorts.

• In January 2018 Nakheel signed a $105m (AED385m) contract with RIU Hotels & Resorts for the hotel’s construction.

• It is part of Nakheel's vision to create family-orientated resort style hotels to help achieve the government's 2021 tourism vision.

• The project is expected to be delivered in 2019.
