JA Resorts & Hotels has shaped Dubai’s hospitality landscape for over four decades. The brand has built its reputation not on scale alone, but on properties that endure — places guests return to over time, from Dubai and around the world.
As JA Resorts & Hotels prepares for the upcoming launch of its state-of-the-art Jebel Ali Sports & Shooting Club this summer, the brand is progressing a series of enhancements across its Dubai portfolio.

At JA Ocean View Hotel in JBR, an extensive façade restoration is planned for May 2026 to maintain the property’s presence along one of Dubai’s most active beachfront settings. Overlooking Jumeirah Beach and Ain Dubai, the enhancement will ensure the hotel continues to reflect its surroundings while upholding the standards expected of a well-established and trusted address.
At JA The Resort in Jebel Ali, enhancements will centre around the continued evolution of its leisure offering. Set to commence this summer and complete in Q4 2026, a key focus will be the transformation of Club Joumana, which will introduce a refreshed clubhouse alongside an upgraded sports café. Designed as a central gathering space, the redevelopment will enhance the social and recreational experience for both resort guests and the wider Dubai community, complementing the upcoming launch of JA Sports & Shooting Club and further strengthening the destination’s positioning.
At JA Hatta Fort Hotel, a phased masterplan is being developed to build on its growing appeal as a nature-led escape within the Al Hajar Mountains. The enhancements will focus on deepening how guests experience the landscape, while preserving the simplicity and character that define the property and continue to resonate with those seeking time away from the city.
As part of this, Phase 1 will introduce a new exclusive area within the property, designed to offer a more contemporary stay while remaining rooted in its natural setting. Interior design refinement is currently nearing completion, with phased works expected to start this summer in a manner carefully planned to minimise disruption to ongoing operations. With a focus on space, privacy and design, the development will reflect evolving guest expectations while maintaining a strong sense of place.
The wider development plan will include refurbished guestrooms, enhanced dining experiences, and revitalised public spaces, including a new wellness centre. Together, these enhancements are intended to further enrich both the indoor and outdoor guest experience across the property.
Ralph Porciani, CEO of JA Resorts & Hotels, commented: “At JA, our focus has always been on creating experiences that guests return to, time and again. These enhancements reflect how we continue to evolve our properties with care, ensuring they remain relevant, while retaining the familiarity and warmth our guests value. As we look ahead, we remain committed to investing in our portfolio in a way that reflects both our heritage and the expectations of today’s traveller.”
These enhancements reflect JA Resorts & Hotels’ continued investment in its portfolio and its belief in evolving with purpose, ensuring each stay feels personal, considered, and worth returning to.
