ARABIC FLAIR

The JA Hatta Fort Hotel has undergone a significant upgrade, adding the flair of modern Arabic design to its interiors.

The JA Resorts & Hotel property has been a popular destination for Dubai residents since opening in 1981. And it is hoped that the exclusive retreat in the Hajar Mountains, just a ten-minute-drive from the border with Oman, now offers a new experience for guests.

The JA Hatta Fort Hotel is set in 80 acres of gardens and is home to 48 deluxe chalet-style rooms, two suites and two villas, all featuring either a private balcony or terrace.

David Thomson, Chief Operating Officer of JA Resorts & Hotels, said: “JA Hatta Fort Hotel is one of the first hotels to be developed by JA Resorts & Hotels and has a special sentimental value for the group.

“The modernisation will ensure guests enjoy a contemporary and comfortable experience without us altering the unique charm of this venue.

“We wanted to remain true to our Arabian roots and at the same time enchant our guests with a refreshed look and the heartfelt hospitality that we are known for.”

Dining options include Jeema Restaurant, a pool bar and Gazebo Café, which overlooks one of two swimming pools.

Other facilities include a gymnasium, a field and target archery range, mini-golf course and tennis, as well as a spa plus a children’s pool and playground.
