About JA Resorts & Hotels

A Legacy of Hospitality,
Rooted in Care

JA Resorts & Hotels is a proudly homegrown hospitality brand founded in Dubai in 1981, offering a distinctive collection of five-star resorts and hotels across the UAE, the Maldives, and UK. The brand is part of the DUTCO Group of Companies, established in 1947, one of the UAE’s most respected diversified business groups. JA Resorts & Hotels is known for creating thoughtful, experience-led stays rooted in care, authenticity, and a deep sense of place designed to delight families, couples, leisure travellers, and business guests across generations.

JA Resorts & Hotels was established in 1981, originally operating under Dutco Hotels. That same year, the company opened two of Dubai’s earliest resort landmarks:

    • Jebel Ali Beach Hotel at Jebel Ali Beach
    • Hatta Fort Hotel in the Hajar Mountains

These properties laid the foundation for what would become one of the UAE’s most enduring hospitality brands.

JA Resorts & Hotels is owned by the DUTCO Group, a UAE-based group founded in 1947. DUTCO has played a significant role in Dubai’s growth and development, with businesses spanning construction, real estate, oil and gas, manufacturing, trading, and hospitality.

Today, JA Resorts & Hotels operates nine distinctive properties across three countries:

    • United Arab Emirates – beachfront resorts, city hotels, mountain escapes, and integrated resort destinations
    • Maldives – a luxury private island resort offering barefoot elegance, wellness, and cultural immersion
    • United Kingdom – heritage-led hotels set within iconic Scottish countryside estates and historic city locations

Each property reflects JA’s commitment to genuine hospitality, meaningful experiences, and long-standing relationships with guests and communities.

JA Resorts & Hotels is guided by a simple belief: to help people feel truly welcome, cared for, and connected.

The brand’s purpose is to build emotional value by creating, curating, and delivering experiences that delight all generations—whether through family holidays, destination celebrations, sporting pursuits, wellness escapes, or quiet moments of retreat.

The brand is led by Chairman Ahmed Baker, who has overseen JA Resorts & Hotels’ growth from a local hospitality venture into an internationally recognised brand, while preserving its family-led culture and values.

Reflecting on the company’s journey, Chairman Baker consistently credits:

• The visionary leadership of the UAE
• The support of national institutions
• And most importantly, the people of JA, whom he proudly considers family

Their dedication continues to shape the brand’s reputation for warmth, care, and credibility.

JA Resorts & Hotels stands apart for its:

• Homegrown UAE heritage
• Diverse destinations and experiences
• Long-standing commitment to people and place
• Balance of tradition and progress
• Focus on emotional connection, not just luxury

This is hospitality shaped by legacy and delivered with purpose.
