Dubai:- Construction is under way on The St. Regis Beach Club on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah, confirming yet another top-flight dining and leisure destination for the world-famous island, master developer Nakheel announced today.

The company has awarded a contract worth AED79.7 million to Ghantoot Gulf Contracting to build the exclusive beachfront facility, which will offer unrivalled restaurants, lifestyle and fitness venues with extensive views of the Arabian Gulf.

Due to open in 2019, The St. Regis Beach Club complements The St. Regis Dubai – The Palm, a 289-room hotel forming part of Nakheel’s 52-storey, landmark Palm Tower, under construction nearby. The beach club will feature an array of dining options, including modern, fusion concepts never before seen in the UAE. There will also be an infinity edge pool stretching almost 100 metres along Palm Jumeirah’s seafront and state-of-the-art gym and fitness facilities.

News of The St. Regis Beach Club construction comes two days after Nakheel confirmed that the 240 metre Palm Tower is 80 per cent complete in terms of concrete works. Due to open in 2019, The Palm Tower combines The St. Regis Dubai - The Palm, 432 luxury residences and a rooftop infinity pool, restaurant and public viewing deck offering uninterrupted, awe-inspiring views across Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf and Dubai’s world-famous skyline. Hotel guests and Palm Tower residents will receive priority access to The St. Regis Beach Club.

The Palm Tower is linked to Nakheel Mall and its 350 shops, restaurants and attractions and entertainment outlets, from where the public will access the 52nd floor viewing deck. The mall is scheduled to open next year.
