Lead the commercial vision behind one of Dubai's most anticipated luxury hotel openings.

Gran Meliá is bringing its iconic Spanish luxury to one of the world's most dynamic destinations with the opening of Gran Meliá Dubai Jumeirah in 2027. Nestled on the shores of Jumeirah 1, this spectacular seafront hotel will feature 366 luxurious rooms and suites, exceptional dining concepts, and breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline.

Both the Mediterranean and Dubai share a heritage defined by hospitality, culture, craftsmanship, and refined living. At Gran Meliá Dubai Jumeirah, these worlds come together to create a new benchmark in luxury—where timeless sophistication meets contemporary ambition.
