The hotel, which opened in 1997, is operated by the Dubai-based hotelier Jumeirah.[2] The hotel contains 598 rooms and suites and 19 villas.[4] This wave-shaped hotel complements the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, which is adjacent to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel.

The hotel occupies a location on the beach. Visitors to the hotel have at total of 33,800 square metres (364,000 sq ft) of beach for their use.[3] Beside the hotel is the Wild Wadi Water Park. All guests in the hotel have unlimited access to the waterpark.[3]
