Centara Hotels & Resorts, On the 12th of October, marking the debut of Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai, a ribbon cutting ceremony took place at the resort in the gracious presence of His Excellency Mohammed Al-Shaibani, Chairman of Nakheel; Mr. Thirayuth Chirathivat, Chief Executive Officer, Centara Hotels & Resorts & Mr. Suparat Chirathivat, Executive Vice President Central Group of Companies.

The new resort - a joint venture between Thailand's leading hotel operator Centara Hotels & Resort and world-leading master developer Nakheel, creator of the award-winning Palm Jumeirah and the new Deira Islands waterfront city - brings a new concept in hospitality to Dubai, in line with the emirate's tourism strategy.

Centara Mirage Beach Resort is nestled in a prime waterfront setting on Deira Islands, overlooking the Arabian Gulf just 30 minutes from Dubai International Airport and just minutes away from the newly opened Souk Al Marfa seafront souk and marketplace. The brand-new themed resort offers 607 rooms and suites, water attractions, including a lazy river, kids' fun water play area, waterslides and cliff jumping points, multiple kids' clubs, a colourful candy-themed children's spa, and the dedicated Mirage Family Lounge, a club lounge experience for all the family. It also offers unique dining experiences at seven different enticing dining venues, a fully-equipped fitness centre and Thai-inspired Spa Cenvaree.

Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai becomes the first Centara property in the United Arab Emirates and represents the third Mirage family-themed resort worldwide, following the Lost World-themed Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya, one of Thailand's most popular family resorts, and the Explorer's Playground-themed Centara Mirage Resort Mui Ne, Vietnam, which opened its doors this year. This remarkable new resort also represents Centara's debut in Dubai, one of the world's most iconic cities.
