    Earlier this week, 360°, a restaurant and lounge located at the tip of Jumeirah Beach Hotel Marina’s jetty, permanently closed. Eventually Jumeirah Beach Hotel Marina will permanently close in its entirety for the construction of Marsa Al Arab. Marsa Al Arab will have a marina as well but in a different location.

    Still seems like no progress except I see what looks to be something under construction on the field between Wild Wadi Waterpark and the beach

    Jumeirah Beach Hotel is to be fully refurbished in 2018 as part of an exciting project to bring a new, modern and fresh look to this much loved Dubai landmark. The refurbishment will extend to all guest bedrooms, the public spaces, lobby, retail areas, beach and outdoor facilities as well as restaurants and dining outlets. Following on from the initial renovation work completed in 2017, interior works are scheduled to finish by October 2018.

    The hotel will stop receiving guests from May 2018 to enable a comprehensive, fast and dynamic transformation with the reopening scheduled for October 2018 in time to celebrate the hotel’s 21st birthday.
    Guests and visitors can still enjoy Wild Wadi Waterpark™ which will operate as normal for external guests and on an unlimited and complimentary basis for all guests staying at Burj AI Arab Jumeirah, Madinat Jumeirah, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, Jumeirah Emirates Towers and Jumeirah Creekside Hotel.

    Other facilities will also remain open and unaffected will include Talise gym and café, certain parts of the beach, Kids Club for Talise members and La Veranda restaurant for lunch.
    The hotel will have a contemporary new look that will be similar to some of our new hotels within the group portfolio.

    There is a strong focus on light, with white, gold and blue accents throughout. The design also embraces Jumeirah Beach Hotel's unique location with beautiful views of Burj Al Arab Jumeirah and the Arabian Gulf.

    Dubai Holding, the developer of Marsa Al Arab, is putting more focus on Marsa Al Arab, along with other developments, as they work towards their goal of completion in time for Expo 2020 Dubai.

    Is the construction taking place in bottom right of second photo for Marsa Al Arab?

    Wild Wadi Waterpark is still operating normally in its original location. I’m not seeing much construction taking place yet on the new islands
