Corinthia Dubai Plans World’s Highest Outdoor Pool

Corinthia Hotels and Dubai General Properties have announced their partnership on a landmark hotel and residential development in the heart of Dubai.

Set within a two-tower structure on the Sheikh Zayed Road, near the Museum of the Future, the development will exceed 500 metres in height, ranking it among the world’s tallest buildings.

The pièce de resistance will be the world’s highest outdoor sky pool, soaring over 500 metres, with panoramic, 360-degree views. The project will be managed by Corinthia Group’s QP company, with a targeted completion date of 2030.

“It is a true privilege to introduce this bold and visionary statement to our city, right where our journey in property development began,” said Jassim Al Ali, managing director of Dubai General Properties.

“Dubai stands as a pioneer in luxury tourism, and we are thrilled to unveil an innovative, new concept that not only elevates our hospitality standards, but also captivates both our people and the world.”

The ballroom and event spaces will feature views of Jumeirah Beach, while five restaurants and bars will offer dining with sea and city views. The development will include multiple rooftop pools, including private pools for penthouses and select residences.

With a total built-up area expected to be 330,000 square metres, the towers will provide views of the Sheikh Zayed Road skyline, the Burj Khalifa, the Burj Al Arab, and Jumeirah Beach.

“This architectural gem honours the ambitious vision set forth by the inspired leadership of Dubai and is made possible by our valued partnership with Dubai General Properties,” said Simon Casson, CEO of Corinthia Hotels.

“Both hotel and residences will be defining in their design and level of aspirational luxury, matched only by the elevated, intuitive service levels delivered by the people of Corinthia, with the spirit of Corinthia.”
