OPERATION PHILOSOPHY
Jumeirah Yacht Club & Lounge is a free-standing club and part of Jumeirah Private Island Resort. Tailored to meet the sophisticated needs of the modern super yacht owner, the club will provide special facilities exclusively for members and their guests including luxury day rooms, private welcome receptions and personal butler services.
The seafood brasserie, lounge bar, business centre, diving club and maritime club retail shop will be open to Island guests and resident villa owners with seasonal dress codes in keeping with the formal elegance of the colonial period.
The entire set up, decor and service philosophy will be modelled after the colonial period; a time rich with maritime history and tradition. The colonial club villa will be crafted from rich build materials like teak wood and limestone with colonial styled wall scones, wide teak verandahs and ceiling fans, reminiscent of an old-world charm.
Offsetting the colonial ambience will be the raw exotic landscape; white sandy beaches, tall majestic banyan trees, stubborn coconut palms, curious limestone karsts. The abundant luxury and formal style of dress and service at the Yacht Club will grant members and guests a touch of decadence after their time at sea.
Formal luxury may be the guiding principle but not at the expense of comfort; highly trained personal butlers and hostesses will follow a service philosophy that aims for the highest levels of discretion and personalized service.
The restaurant will prepare only the freshest and best seafood, meat and poultry. The brasserie style of cooking demands perfection, allowing the quality of the produce to speak for itself. Our butlers will be able to recommend the best dishes and accompanying wine to suit. The menu will include a sumptuous variety of appetizers, main courses and desserts to be prepared at guéridon tables. Another innovative service to be introduced is gourmet and pea berry coffees brewed to perfection at your table, so you don’t miss out on any of that divine aroma.
The bar and lounge will be known for its discerning selection of rums, single malt whiskeys, cognacs and cigars; a suave throw-back to the days of the gentlemen’s smoking room.
The Yacht Club will be accessed through a private entrance directly from the marina for yacht owners and members. Guests for the restaurant and bar will enter from the main part of the resort.
