Al Qasr, which literally translates to 'The Palace', is made up of 294 rooms and suites, designed to reflect a summer residence.

Dar Al Masyaf consists of 29 stand-alone, two-story residential retreats inspired by traditional Arabian summer houses. Each of the 29 'houses' features 9–11 rooms and suites which are extended across the resort grounds.

Al Naseem, which translates to 'The Breeze', the latest of the boutique hotels to be completed, comprises 430 rooms and suites. It is, however, the only hotel in Madinat Jumeirah without a connection to the other hotels via waterway.
