The World Travel Awards have selected Palm Jumeirah, Nakheel’s architectural marvel and flagship master development, as the World’s Leading Tourism Development Project.
Three of the island’s newest attractions and destinations were crowned during the annual event.
The View at The Palm, Nakheel’s breathtaking 360-degree observation deck that debuted last year at the top of the Palm Tower, was named the Middle East’s Leading New Tourist Attraction.
Palm West Beach, Nakheel’s one-of-a-kind seafront dining and leisure venue which launched in 2020, was named Dubai’s Leading Beach Destination.
The World’s Leading New Hotel was awarded to the St. Regis the Palm, Dubai, another important attraction within the Palm Tower
Nakheel’s chief assets officer, Omar Khoory, said: “Nakheel continues to create and deliver ground-breaking destinations for United Arab Emirates’ residents and tourists, and in turn contribute positively to Dubai’s tourism and leisure sectors.
“We are humbled that the Palm Jumeirah – and key destinations on the island that were all successfully opened despite the challenges of the pandemic – have been recognised at the World Travel Awards.
“These prestigious accolades represent more milestones for Dubai’s tourism sector and are even more reason to celebrate the ever-growing wonder of Palm Jumeirah.”
The View at The Palm, already a World Travel Award winner, just launched Next Level, a breathtaking private viewing place with unobstructed, barrier-free panoramic views of Palm Jumeirah and the Arabian Gulf.
Breathe in the fresh air at this new extension of the View, which, at 250 metres above ground, becomes Palm Jumeirah’s highest view point.
General admission tickets start at AED175 for adults and AED120 for children aged four to twelve, and include fast track access to Levels 52 and 54 as well as a self-tour.
Take it up a level with an upscaled, VIP experience, which starts at AED325 for adults and AED145 for children aged four to twelve.
This package includes VIP lounge access, a guided tour, and access to the View on Level 52 and the Next Level, as well as a house beverage or a bubbly drink, Arabic sweets, and snacks.
Khoory said, “Nakheel continues to push boundaries and introduce unique, record-breaking concepts that set Dubai apart as a world-famous destination.”
He added, “Following the overwhelming success of the View at The Palm, launched in April last year, we are delighted to take this experience to new heights by introducing the Next Level, adding a new dimension to what is already a highly popular, ‘must-see’ attraction. We look forward to welcoming visitors for an unrivalled experience that celebrates the spectacular feat of engineering that is Palm Jumeirah.”
