Okay Dubai, hold our mocktails—because something major just dropped, and it’s making waves in all the right ways. The Kleindienst Group, never ones to think small (or even medium), just teamed up with George V Eatertainment to bring the first-ever Buddha-Bar Hotel and Buddha-Bar Beach to The Heart of Europe on The World Islands. Yes, you read that right—an actual floating fantasy featuring luxury villas, beach clubs, and enough chilled beats to keep your soul vibing long after checkout.
This dreamy AED 3 billion collab isn’t just a hotel drop—it’s an entire sensory revolution. And the timing? Chef’s kiss. The announcement will be front and center at Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2025 from April 28 to May 1 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. So if you’re attending ATM and wondering what booth to beeline for, it’s HC2210. Trust us.
Buddha-Bar Hotel & Floating Villas: Where Zen Meets the Jet Set
Imagine waking up to the sound of waves (not your alarm), stepping onto your private overwater villa deck, and soaking up the serenity—Buddha-Bar style. With 162 keys of pure bliss, this hotel isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a vibe. A whole lifestyle, really.
We’re talking curated global music, architecture that whispers luxury, gastronomy that’ll have you questioning all previous meals, and a spa experience designed to melt your worries faster than Dubai summer ice cream. And because this is The Heart of Europe, every detail embraces sustainable living, from eco-design to coral-friendly marine construction. Basically, you can live your best life and be kind to the planet. Win-win.
Buddha-Bar Beach Honeymoon Island: Dubai’s Newest Party Playground
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more fabulous—bam!—they drop Buddha-Bar Beach Honeymoon Island. Think barefoot luxury meets Ibiza energy with a dash of Mediterranean charm. Whether you’re saluting the sun at dawn or grooving under the stars with world-renowned DJs, this is where Dubai’s next-level nightlife is about to bloom.
Brunches? Iconic. Mixology? On point. Sunset sessions? Prepare to have your jaw dropped. From yoga to yolo, every minute on this island is Insta-worthy.

Not Just a Hotel—A Hospitality Movement
Josef Kleindienst, the visionary behind the madness (in the best way), calls it a “living, breathing showcase” of what happens when innovation and imagination go island-hopping. And Parisa Seif, Managing Partner at Kleindienst, put it best: “We’re not just building a resort—we’re crafting stories that unfold at every touchpoint.”
That’s right—this isn’t your average staycation setup. It’s a cultural movement. A passport to the extraordinary. A place where even your flip-flops will feel expensive.
The Bottom Line
If you’re craving something more than just five stars—like maybe five stars and a floating villa, a spa with ocean lullabies, and sundowners on a coral-safe island—then consider this your official invitation to the destination of the future.
Dubai, your luxury level-up is here. And it brought Buddha beats, overwater dreams, and party island magic with it.
