Our Story

Born in the UAE
Shaped by everyday moments

One idea, many routines

2015
Privilee is founded

The website goes live in the UAE, with six resorts, a physical membership card, and a clear vision – effortless access for Members, more footfall for Partners.

2017
Expanding the portfolio

What started with a handful of resorts begins to grow, with more places to go and more reasons to use Privilee.

2019
Privilee goes digital

Physical membership cards are gone. Our app launches, making everything seamless and digital.

Swimming pool with sunken sunloungers

The idea was simple: take what was once reserved for a few, and make it part of everyday life

2019
Gyms enter the mix

Training becomes part of the picture. Gyms are introduced, expanding wellness into everyday life.

2022
Beach clubs and studios step in

Beach clubs and boutique studios arrive. Think smarter training, curated escapes, and Members mixing movement with downtime.

2023
Next stop: Qatar

We launch in our second country as the Privilee lifestyle continues to grow. Dining and complimentary padel are added in the UAE for even more variety.

2024
Making a splash

Waterparks arrive in the UAE, creating more ways for families to connect, play, and reset.

2025
Hello Bahrain and Oman

Following success in Qatar, we expand across the region – welcoming Bahrain and Oman, and introduce cross-country access across Privilee destinations.

2026
Singapore state of mind

We step outside of the GCC and into Singapore – a new market guided by pace, intention, and everyday wellness.

Connecting people to great places and helping hotels grow in the process. That’s where Privilee began.
