Burj Al Arab gets its own leisure island

Dubai’s iconic Burj Al Arab hotel is taking luxury to the next level with its own unique leisure island.

Called ‘The North Deck’, the 10,000sqm private luxury deck will fan 100 metres out into the Arabian Gulf and accommodate 32 cabanas, 400 sun loungers, one fresh water pool measuring 612sqm and one salt water pool measuring 828sqm, one restaurant and a bar.

Made from steel and weighing about 5,000 tonnes, the North Deck left Finland on January 9. On arrival at the hotel in mid-February, the six sections will be lifted by crane and lowered onto a grid of 90 steel piles, each 914mm in diameter, stretching from the hotel out into the Arabian Gulf.
