JA Resorts and Hotels will open UAE’s premier sports and lifestyle destination as they are set to welcome a major new sports and leisure landmark with the launch of the JA Sports & Shooting Club, a destination designed for elite athletes, corporate groups, residents and families. Combining world-class sporting infrastructure with hospitality and lifestyle experiences, the facility features FIFA-standard football pitches, ICC-standard cricket ovals, racquet sports facilities, equestrian arenas, a nine-hole championship golf course and one of the country’s most advanced indoor shooting complexes. Football pitches and cricket ovals are already operational and receiving guests ahead of the official opening.
Positioned as a hub for team-building and group engagement, the destination offers an alternative to traditional corporate venues through sports-led experiences for groups of 30 to 150 participants. Activities range from outdoor challenges and sports sessions to multi-activity competitions, while residents, schools and families can enjoy football, cricket, padel and golf programmes. Signature experiences, including The Spirit of Team Play, combine sporting activities, refreshments and access to facilities within JA The Resort.
The launch is further supported by exclusive leisure offers, including the Summer Golf Swing 2026 package, which provides unlimited rounds of golf, complimentary lessons, gym access, family pool and beach privileges, and discounts across dining and spa outlets. Guests can also take advantage of UAE resident staycation packages across JA Resorts & Hotels, featuring complimentary breakfast, dining savings, leisure benefits, and flexible check-in and check-out options.
