Island resort shuts doors
Elsewhere, the Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort has ceased operations entirely as of April 10.
Operator Minor Hotels said the decision was taken jointly with owner Seven Tides after a broader review of operating conditions.
“The closure is the result of a combination of external factors and is not attributable to any single issue,” the company said.
“While this is not the outcome we had hoped for, our immediate focus is on supporting our team members through this transition.”
The resort had been positioned as a private island escape — one of the more distinctive offerings in Dubai’s hospitality landscape.
