Company Description

Ennismore, the fastest-growing lifestyle and leisure hospitality company, has brought the iconic Delano brand to the UAE for the first time. When Delano South Beach arrived on the Miami scene in 1995, it introduced an entirely fresh take on 5-star luxury and marked the inception of lifestyle hospitality. Delano was celebrated for its blend of timeless elegance, modern design, and vibrant energy; it became the social hub, bringing together the who's who of the fashion and entertainment world. Guided by the same principles that propelled the original Delano to icon status, Delano Dubai ushers in a new era of sophisticated style and elevated service to the UAE.

Banyan Group is one of the world's leading independent, multi-branded hospitality groups centered on the purpose-driven mission of stewardship and wellbeing while offering exceptional, design-led experiences. The Group's diversified portfolio of hotels, resorts, spas, galleries, golf, and residences features an ecosystem of 10 global brands, including the award-winning Banyan Tree, Angsana, Cassia, Dhawa, and Laguna, and the highly anticipated new brands of Homm, Garrya, Folio, and two new Banyan Tree brand extensions - Escape and Veya.

Established in 2008, with the goal of advancing people development and management excellence, Banyan Tree Dubai is a lively, island escape where stylish stays, incredible dining, warm hospitality, and recreation create lasting memories. Fronted by 500m of a pristine, private beach with uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf and backed by the iconic Ain Dubai.
