You know that feeling when you walk into a place and think, “Yep, I’ve made it”? That’s exactly the vibe at the brand-new BENO Lounge at Marsa Al Arab Marina—Dubai’s glitziest new playground for the luxury-obsessed and sea-breeze-chasing crowd.
Yes, that BENO. The lifestyle brand that treats travel like an art form (and has probably ruined regular hotel lobbies for you forever) has now set up shop by the sea. And not just anywhere—the lounge is nestled in the ultra-luxurious Marsa Al Arab Marina, right next to Jumeirah’s latest stunner of a resort. Translation? You’re about to cruise into yacht life from the most prestigious address in town.
Yachts, But Make Them Fabulous
Let’s get to the good stuff: the yachts. Because you’re not just here for the view (okay, also for the view), you’re here to set sail in style. And BENO’s fleet? She’s giving nautical but make it couture.
Meet the queen of the fleet: The Santorini Superyacht. At 115 feet, she’s less of a boat and more of a floating five-star hotel. We’re talking room for 80 guests, five lush cabins, and a crew of seven whose only job is to make sure your champagne stays chilled and your Instagram stories stay envy-inducing. She’s got a Main Salon. A Jacuzzi. A bar. Sunbeds. (Read that again.) Basically, the only thing she’s missing is your playlist—and maybe a flamingo floaty.
If you’re feeling slightly less “superyacht” and more “sleek and chic,” you can still live the dream on the Jude (74 ft), Julia (64 ft), or Arya (42 ft). These beauties are all dressed up with modern cabins, plush interiors, and panoramic deck views that’ll have you whispering “just one more sunset cruise…” every night.
Lounge Goals: Activated
But before you even step foot on deck, BENO sets the tone with their signature lounge—think of it as the VIP gateway to your ocean adventure. It’s the kind of space where your coffee is probably served with a wink and a view of the marina, and where your next trip is booked before your cappuccino cools.
Aiham Bader, BENO’s Founder and Chairman, put it best:
“We aim to craft moments that feel effortless, yet unforgettable while you’re cruising the Gulf.”
Mission. Accomplished.
What’s Next? Just BENO Things.
This launch isn’t just a flex—it’s a power move. With Arabian Travel Market 2025 just around the corner, BENO is set to shake hands, spark collaborations, and show the world that they’re not just redefining luxury travel—they’re rewriting the whole chapter.
So, whether you’re plotting your next escape or just manifesting it from your office chair, remember: BENO’s got a yacht for that.
