The new resort will combine French Riviera flair with Dubai’s cosmopolitan vibe.


Dubai’s been welcoming an influx of new properties. The likes of Ciel Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection by IHG, and Mandarin Oriental Downtown, Dubai are all set to open doors soon, but more names are popping up on the horizon. One name that’s heading to the emirate soon is Hotel Cannes.

Hotel Cannes is slated to open at The Heart of Europe on The World Islands. Welcoming guests in mid-2026, this property promises a mix of cultural storytelling, design, and luxurious comfort with the signature Cannes flair.

Hotel Cannes

Hotel Cannes will draw inspiration from the spirit of the French Riviera’s golden age. Expect European elegance to meet Mediterranean charm in its decor, which blends nostalgia and modernity. Every corner has been designed for travellers who crave substance and story as much as comfort and style. Here, you’ll see textures and geometry that will make you feel like you’re in Cannes.

Once open, Hotel Cannes will feature 215 rooms and suites. Each unit has been designed to transport you to a world where coastal sophistication meets Dubai’s cosmopolitan vibe. Expect interiors in soft turquoise and sand tones. Sea-facing rooms open up to panoramic vistas, transporting you to Cannes.

Hotel Cannes

Beyond accommodation, Hotel Cannes features a lively social hub inspired by the March Forville in Cannes. This curated marketplace will be brimming with artisanal bakeries, oyster counters, and rotating European food concepts. There will also be a collection of dining and leisure experiences that reflect the hotel’s Riviera-inspired soul, including a Cannes-inspired beach club. Add to that a pool area, wellness facilities, and family-friendly touches, and you’ve got a hotel that is indulgent for all ages.

Hotel Cannes marks another milestone in The Heart of Europe’s roster of properties. It joins voco Dubai Monaco and voco Dubai Nice, creating a trio of coastal escapes. With the opening less than a year away, this spot is guaranteed to become a favourite.
