[Minor Hotels](https://www.sleepermagazine.com/tag/minor-hotels/) has announced the signing of Ampersand Beach House as part of [Colbert Collection](https://www.sleepermagazine.com/tag/colbert-collection/).

Scheduled to open in late 2029, the 111-key boutique lifestyle hotel will mark the first purpose-built Colbert Collection property and the brand’s debut on Dubai Islands.

Ampersand Beach House will introduce an intimate, design-forward hospitality concept centred on personalised service, contemporary architecture and curated lifestyle experiences.

The hotel will feature a collection of guestrooms and suites, including signature pool terrace suites, alongside destination dining venues, rooftop leisure experiences, wellness facilities and thoughtfully designed social spaces that appeal to both international travellers and Dubai residents.

The project will be led by Nouma, with Mimar as Lead Design Consultant for the architecture and engineering, and interiors by Sundukovy Sisters Design Studio.

“The UAE continues to present outstanding opportunities for thoughtful, design-led hospitality, and Dubai Islands is set to become one of the city’s defining leisure destinations,” says Amir Golbarg, Chief Operating Officer, Minor Hotels Middle East & Africa.

“Ampersand Beach House perfectly captures the vision of Colbert Collection by delivering an intimate luxury experience centred on exceptional design, personalised service and a strong sense of character. We are delighted to welcome the Ampersand team as a valued partner and to continue expanding our luxury portfolio with projects that bring something truly distinctive to the market.”

Anton Fedun, Financial & Strategic Advisor, Ampersand Beach House, adds: “Exceptional hotels begin with a clear vision and the right operating partner. Minor Hotels’ experience in luxury hospitality, combined with the positioning of Colbert Collection, made them the natural choice for Ampersand Beach House.

“We wanted to deliver something that is not yet present in Dubai’s hotel scene: a hotel that lets guests step away from the typical bold luxury and into a refined world of barefoot luxury, with a feeling of peace, harmony and island holiday. Every decision on this project has been made with the guest experience in mind, and our focus now is on delivering a hotel that will become a landmark for visitors and residents alike.”
