Avani Deira Dubai Hotel will be located in Deira Islands, a unique waterfront entertainment, tourist and residential destination being developed in alignment with Dubai Vision 2020.

“We are really excited to announce the launch of our Avani brand in the UAE and also to be entering into a new strategic partnership with Nakheel, such a well respected partner in the region, and one that we plan to enjoy a fruitful ongoing relationship with going forward,” said Dillip Rajakarier, CEO, Minor Hotel Group.

“Deira Islands is an impressive project and we are very pleased to have the opportunity to introduce Avani into the Dubai market in this new development.”

Comprising four islands situated adjacent to Dubai’s Deira district, with a total area of over 15.3 square kilometres, Deira Islands will feature a variety of beachfront resorts, hotels and residential communities, a shopping mall, a waterfront night market and an impressive amphitheatre able to accommodate up to 30,000 people.

The Avani hotel will be close to Dubai International Airport, with views of the Dubai skyline and across the Arabian Gulf.

The new-build hotel is the first of MHG’s Avani brand to be announced in the UAE.
