Hilton has unveiled plans to introduce a new landmark in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, with the launch of Hilton Marjan Island Beach Resort & Spa scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. This luxurious resort will elevate the hospitality experience on Marjan Island, offering 315 spacious king rooms and 35 suites designed to cater to discerning travelers seeking unparalleled comfort and luxury.
Set against the backdrop of the Arabian Gulf, Hilton Marjan Island Beach Resort & Spa will feature a wealth of amenities to ensure a memorable stay. Guests can indulge in culinary delights at six restaurants and bars, relax and rejuvenate at the spa and wellness center, and enjoy exclusive privileges at the executive lounge. The resort’s 360° sky pool promises breathtaking views, making it an ideal spot to unwind and soak in the beauty of the surroundings.
In addition to its leisure offerings, the resort will cater to business needs with state-of-the-art meeting rooms and a ballroom, perfect for corporate events and special occasions. Outdoor enthusiasts can make use of tennis courts, while families will appreciate amenities like a kids club, children’s pool, and playground, ensuring a delightful stay for guests of all ages.
Located adjacent to the Hampton by Hilton Marjan Island Hotel, the Hilton Marjan Island Beach Resort & Spa enjoys a strategic location, just an hour’s drive from Dubai International Airport and a short 20-minute journey from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport. This proximity enhances accessibility, making it a convenient destination for both leisure and business travelers.
Carlos Khneisser, Vice President of Development, Hilton Middle East & Africa, expressed enthusiasm about the project, highlighting Ras Al Khaimah’s growing prominence as a leisure destination. "With Ras Al Khaimah poised to welcome over 3.8 million visitors by 2027, we see tremendous potential in the emirate and its leisure hubs like Marjan Island," he stated. Hilton’s expansion on Marjan Island, which already includes two operational hotels, underscores its commitment to enhancing the region’s hospitality landscape.
The Hilton Marjan Island Beach Resort & Spa represents a significant addition to Hilton’s portfolio in the Middle East, which currently encompasses 80 hotels across 11 brands. With five hotels already in operation in Ras Al Khaimah, this new resort will further strengthen Hilton’s presence in the UAE, contributing to its reputation for delivering exceptional hospitality experiences.
As Hilton continues to expand its global footprint, recent collaborations like the DoubleTree by Hilton New Cairo At Forty Residences in Egypt underscore its commitment to growth and innovation in the hospitality sector.
