Dubai Country Club to reopen in Dubailand

Dubai: The Dubai Country Club, the family-oriented, not-for-profit members club, will reopen in Dubailand directly behind the Arabian Ranches. The club is offering value pre-opening memberships.

In the years since its closure to make way for a private development, the Dubai Country Club Committee has been busy securing a new home for what is set to become the biggest and best value sports, leisure and social club in the UAE.

"The Dubai Country Club has always been known for its value for money ethos and its membership offers access to all facilities for the whole family," said Dubai Country Club Chairman Andy Staines.

"The Dubai Country Club has certainly come a very long way since its inception some 40 years ago. Our vision is to carry on providing the residents of Dubai with the best value, contemporary sporting, recreation and family-focused all-in-one leisure destination they can find," Staines said.

The resort-style club features a 1,700 square metre swimming pool with a small beach leading into lush green parkland.

In addition, the club has a state-of-the-art health and fitness facility, 12 tennis courts, three squash courts, a football field, an indoor sports hall and modern skating park.

The club will also feature an adults-only sanctuary with a 20-metre private pool with a swim-up bar, an 18-suite boutique hotel and a day spa.

It also offers a dedicated children's centre with a fully supervised creche and children's club. Teenagers can also enjoy their own chill-out space, which will include their own café and activity zone, with all the latest games and a variety of attractions.

Khalid Al Malek, Group CEO, Dubai Properties Group, said: "This extraordinary new facility is the ideal complement to Dubailand's attractions."
