JUMEIRAH Group, the Dubai-based luxury hospitality company and member of Dubai Holding, has signed an agreement with Palm Hills Developments (PHD), one of Egypt’s premier developers, to manage Jumeirah Gamsha Bay Resort, a new five-star deluxe resort located in PHD’s Palm Gamsha resort on the Red Sea, Egypt.
The luxury 250-room hotel is on the mixed-use development of Palm Gamsha, an integrated community of more than 20 man-made islands forming the shape of a seahorse, located 47 km north west of Hurghada airport. The combination of Jumeirah’s expertise in luxury hospitality and PHD’s development of a prime location is expected to transform Gamsha Bay into a leading world destination.
Guests will be able to take advantage of the region’s renowned tourist activities and attractions including bird watching, hiking, golf, diving, desert safaris and visiting archaeological sites.
Jumeirah Gamsha Bay Resort is Jumeirah’s first management agreement signed in Egypt. This latest agreement brings the total number of properties under development or in operation by Jumeirah globally to 48.
And following the announcement of its new contemporary lifestyle hotel brand Venu at the Arabian Hotel Investment Conference earlier this year, Jumeirah Group has signed an agreement with Shanghai Zendai Himalayas Real Estate to manage Venu Himalayas Hotel Shanghai, a new 400-key, contemporary lifestyle hotel in the heart of Pudong district which is scheduled to open in 2011.
