JA Resorts & Hotels builds on the UAE’s growing interest in active and group experiences | News
As a UAE-born brand shaped by authentic hospitality and immersive experiences, JA Resorts & Hotels continues to evolve alongside the country it calls home. Across the country, time is increasingly spent in a way that feels shared and intentional, with community-led and active experiences quietly taking precedence, a shift that JA has long been a part of through its signature blend of world-class hospitality and considered lifestyle experiences. Home to JA Palm Tree Court, JA Beach Hotel and JA Lake View Hotel, the resort reflects how modern residents choose to stay, play and unwind.
JA Sports & Shooting Club, based at JA The Resort in Jebel Ali, is responding directly to this shift by combining large-scale sports infrastructure, group experiences and hospitality-led leisure into one seamlessly connected environment. Designed as both a professional training complex and an accessible social hub, the club introduces a new way to experience sport in Dubai, where performance, recovery, dining and personal service come together effortlessly.
As one of Dubai’s most extensive collections of state-of-the-art sports facilities, the club will include professional racquet facilities and the UAE’s most advanced indoor shooting complex, with FIFA-standard football pitches and ICC-standard cricket ovals already welcoming guests. Complemented by JA The Resort’s existing nine-hole, par-35 championship golf course and spacious equestrian arenas, this multi-sport destination builds on JA’s legacy as a leading sports and lifestyle center in the UAE.
At the core of JA Sports & Shooting Club is a strong focus on group and team-based experiences, designed as an outdoor alternative to traditional corporate environments. Experiences range from classic outdoor games such as tug-of-war, sack races and interactive team challenges to more structured sports sessions and multi-activity competitions. These tailor-made programs can be adapted to different group sizes, ranging from 30 to 150 participants, offering a flexible approach for both smaller team outings and larger corporate events.
With a thoughtful balance between structure and convenience, three curated group packages are available from AED 185 per person, with a mix of coffee breaks, refined lunches and leisurely buffet dining. Supported by a diverse portfolio of restaurants at JA The Resort, these experiences allow organizations to combine meetings, activities and leisure within one setting, creating a more engaging and memorable format for team building.
In addition to corporate experiences, the club also targets residents, social groups, schools and families who are looking for more active ways to spend time together. A range of sports-led experiences, including access to football pitches, cricket ovals, padel courts and guided golf clinics, provide a natural rhythm to the day, alternating between play and outdoor time. Meanwhile, special group experiences such as The Spirit of Team Play offer a curated program of three JA-led activities, complemented by refreshments, a sound system and a location in one of the three hotels at JA The Resort.
The Summer Golf Swing 2026 gives golf enthusiasts the freedom to play and train at their own pace, offering unlimited rounds on JA Sports & Shooting Club’s championship golf course all season long. Combining golf, wellness and resort living in one offer, players will also receive a free golf lesson, fitness assessment, daily gym access and pool and beach access for the whole family, as well as 20% discount at 15 restaurants and bars and 20% discount on treatments at Calm Spa.
For those looking to extend their visit, JA The Resort’s staycation offers UAE residents a seamless continuation of the experience. Designed with convenience in mind, the stay includes daily breakfast, early check-in and late check-out, free stays and dining for children under 12, 30% off dining and 20% off stays for JA DISCOVERY members. With 2-for-1 on selected leisure experiences at JA Sports & Shooting Club and three unique hotels to choose from, every stay feels both active and unhurried.
As a natural extension of JA Resorts & Hotels’ experiential hospitality, JA Sports & Shooting Club reinterprets the way sport fits into everyday life. Merging performance, participation and community into one destination, it reflects the UAE’s growing appetite for experiences that are active, shared, social and rooted in connection.
