Located at the base of the world’s only seven-star hotel, the terrace is a remarkable combo of sleek restaurant (Scape Restaurant & Bar headed by chef Timur Fazilov, serving Californian fusion style dishes), and glam pool and beach space (it’s home to home to two stunning pools, with dedicated butler-serviced cabanas), “offering hotel guests and Burj Al Arab members the finest Arabian hospitality”.

The luxurious leisure facility covers 10,000m² and stretches 100m out into the sea. As well as being a new glam hot spot, the Burj Al Arab Terrace is also a pretty amazing architectural feat. It was developed by marine construction experts ADMARES at a shipyard site in Finland, then transported by ship to Dubai in eight pieces, ensuring minimal disruption to guests, as well as the seabed and marine life.
