DUBAI, UAE, April 15, 2008: The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort and Marina has already proved its facilities are well above par, even before opening, following the signing of an official preferred hotel partnership with The Els Club at Dubai Sports City.

Dubai media take to the seas with the Westin last Saturday. The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina proved its team building activities most definitely ‘float the boat’ with invited media guests. Participants experienced first hand what The Westin offers to corporate and leisure groups aboard its Archambault 35 racing vessel. The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina acquired its brand new Archambault 35 in February in order to offer corporate groups the chance to take to the open sea and discover the adrenalin-rush of riding the waves at top speed aboard the stylish 35ft, 21 horsepower vessel. Group options include organising sailing regattas, whereby groups can race against each other in heats, while their colleagues compete on the Le Meridien Mina Seyahi’s Archambault 35. Teams get to experience every aspect of crew and helmsmanship, helping colleagues to bond and learn to work together, as they battle it out for supremacy of the seas.
