Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai, a luxurious 5-star hotel on Jumeirah Beach, has partnered with Garrard, the world’s oldest established jewellery house, to unveil an exquisite sapphire-inspired Christmas Tree. Following their successful anniversary collaboration earlier this year, the prestigious resort and royal jeweller have combined their creative talents to create a holiday masterpiece that reflects both glamour and elegance.
A Stunning Sapphire-Inspired Christmas Tree
This year’s festive tree, beautifully dressed in Garrard Blue, embraces the rich symbolism of the sapphire gemstone, which represents the fifth anniversary of the partnership between Mandarin Oriental Jumeira and Garrard. The tree’s design captures the Enchanted Night concept, infusing traditional holiday decor with a modern twist. Golden branches adorned with whimsical motifs, iconic Garrard designs, and the Mandarin Fan provide an aura of refinement and charm. The deep blue of oversized baubles, reminiscent of a starry midnight sky, combined with a cascading ribbon of light, brings a magical, ethereal quality to this holiday centerpiece.
Werner Anzinger, General Manager of Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai, commented: “Every year, our Christmas Tree represents the ultimate celebration of sophistication and creative expression. This new masterpiece crafted together with Garrard evokes the timeless luxury and glamour of both brands, bringing seasonal sparkle and joy to Dubai.”
An Enchanting Holiday Experience
In addition to the Christmas Tree, Mandarin Oriental Jumeira offers a range of exclusive festive experiences. Guests can indulge in a sapphire-inspired Afternoon Tea at Noor Lounge, which draws inspiration from Anna Maria Russell, the Seventh Duchess of Bedford, who introduced the Afternoon Tea ritual in 1840. The venue has been transformed into a festive garden in full bloom, offering a memorable experience in an enchanting setting. Afternoon Tea is priced at AED 450 for two guests, or AED 225 per person, and includes a festive gift from Garrard.
From 28 November to 10 January, guests can also visit the Garrard Pop-Up Boutique next to the Enchanted Garden. The boutique offers an exclusive preview of the upcoming Lotus collection, set to launch in Spring 2025, along with other iconic collections such as Wings, Fanfare, and 1735. This limited-time opportunity allows visitors to explore Garrard’s legendary craftsmanship and iconic jewellery designs in an immersive, holiday-themed environment.
Joanne Milner, CEO of Garrard, remarked, “We are thrilled to bring our Enchanted Night concept to Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai. The Christmas Tree, Afternoon Tea, decorated with our enchanted bugs, and the pop-up boutique create a magical, immersive environment for guests that captures the luxurious experience of discovering, gifting, and receiving Garrard jewellery during this special time of the year.”
