Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has got together with real estate and investment firm Bright Start LLC to bring a Four Seasons resort to Dubai.

The Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach is expected to open in the middle of 2014 on an 11-acre site along the Arabian Gulf.

The 237-room resort is being developed by Dubai-based H&H Investment and Development, a real estate development, investment and management company. Four Seasons used to have a presence in Dubai with the Four Seasons Golf Club Dubai Festival City; however, in January this year it announced that it was no longer operating this property.

The Jumeirah property will mark Four Seasons' return to the market; additionally, it also has a hotel for the UAE's capital, Abu Dhabi, in its pipeline.
