The Alba Residences in Dubai – Dorchester Collection
The new hotel follows the opening of Dorchester Collection’s The Lana opened in Dubai in April 2024.
Dorchester Collection is poised to open its second Dubai hotel as part of The Alba, a new AED 7 billion (USD 1.9 billion) mixed-use development on Palm Jumeirah’s Eastern Crescent.
Developed in collaboration with leading Dubai developer, OMNIYAT, The Alba will combine exclusive residences with luxury hospitality when it opens in 2028, and provide guests and residents with views of landmarks such as Burj Al Arab, Dubai Marina, and Burj Khalifa.
The new hotel follows the opening of Dorchester Collection’s The Lana, which opened its doors in Dubai in April 2024.
“The Alba is our next luxury chapter in Dubai in partnership with OMNIYAT,” stated Christopher Cowdray, President of Dorchester Collection.
“Each space will be a sanctuary within an exclusive enclave, offering residents and guests both privacy and serenity in this dynamic city. This next-level lifestyle and hospitality experience will be combined with the impeccable service of Dorchester Collection.”

Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, The Alba will feature two- to four-bedroom simplex and duplex residences and penthouses, each with private outdoor areas, pools, Jacuzzis, and sun platforms. OMNIYAT has highlighted the development’s commitment to sustainability, with plans to meet WELL Certification standards and integrate green landscaping by Vladimir Djurovic.
The wellness centre is expected to be one of the largest in Dubai, and will feature treatment rooms, vitality pools, and beach areas, managed by an international wellness brand yet to be announced.
