We look forward to seeing this exciting project come to fruition by delivering a new and unique offering at Deira Islands." Suthikiati Chirathivat, Chairman of Centara Hotels and Resorts, said, "We are thrilled and proud to be partnering with Nakheel on this joint venture hotel investment that will see Centara Hotels and Resorts operate and manage a distinguished new resort in an exciting new destination.
