Cape Morris is only available to guests of Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Villa and Suite guests.
Dubai never stops raising the bar for luxury. The latest OTT example is Cape Morris, a private island escape curated by Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. Launching on 10 November on The World Islands, it promises a bespoke day out that blends castaway calm with the hotel’s signature service.
The journey begins at Marsa Marina, where guests board a 64-foot yacht with three cabins, expansive sundecks, and a dedicated crew. As the skyline recedes, the tempo slows. On arrival, the island opens onto pale sand and turquoise water, setting the tone for a day as restful or celebratory as you want it to be. Cape Morris has been created for privacy, comfort, and the kind of attention to detail that Jumeirah regulars expect.
There are three ways to experience it. The Lunch Experience runs from 11am to 3pm and is built around a menu by Chef Saverio Sbaragli. It is a leisurely, sun-kissed affair that pairs refined cooking with barefoot ease. Between courses, you can swim, lounge, or test the water sports before the yacht returns to the mainland. The price is AED 30,000 for two, with an additional AED 2,000 per extra guest.
If you prefer golden hour, The Sunset Experience runs from 3pm to 6pm. Expect a live barbecue, seafood displays, delightful desserts, and curated cocktails, all timed to the sinking sun. The city’s skyline becomes the closing scene as you cruise back at dusk. Pricing mirrors lunch at AED 30,000 for two, plus AED 2,000 per additional guest.
For those who want the island entirely to themselves, Make It Yours turns Cape Morris into a private playground for the day. From dawn to night, the setting is yours for milestone celebrations, discreet retreats, or a no-compromise escape. The rate is AED 75,000 per day.
Access is intentionally limited. Reservations are open through the Jumeriah Burj Al Arab Concierge and Events Teams, and the experiences are exclusive to Burj Al Arab guests and Jumeirah villa and suite guests. For travellers who feel they have seen it all, Cape Morris offers a new angle on Dubai with no crowds.
