Dubai –Mubasher: UAE developer Nakheel and Thai hotel group Centara Hotels and Resorts signed a joint venture (JV) agreement to create a beachfront resort worth AED 500 million with waterpark at Deira Islands in Dubai, according to a statement.
The two companies will deliver, under the agreement, an upscale resort on a prime stretch of beach on Deira Islands.
The new 550-room resort project is projected to have soft opening in 2019 and grand opening in 2020.
