Jumeirah at Etihad Towers

Marina Breakwater


The lobby's show-stopping glass wall ushers you into this exclusive cocoon where guests float from spa treatment to private beach before choosing between some of the city's top-class restaurants and bars once the sun goes down. In the rooms, with their floor-to-ceiling windows, beds are positioned so you can watch the twinkling city lights as you drift off to sleep.
