Minor Hotels, a global hospitality group with over 560 properties across 58 countries, has announced the upcoming launch of NH Collection Ras Al Khaimah Al Marjan Island Hotel & Apartments, set to open in early 2028. The 156-key luxury property will be located on Al Marjan Island, a premier waterfront destination in Ras Al Khaimah, further strengthening the emirate’s position as a growing hub for upscale hospitality.
The announcement was made at THINC Middle East, marking another milestone in Minor Hotels’ regional expansion. The new property, developed in collaboration with RRS International Development FZ-LLC, will feature 120 beach-facing rooms and suites, alongside 36 branded serviced apartments. Designed for luxury and comfort, the hotel will boast four restaurants and bars, a gym, an outdoor pool, a kids’ club, a games room, a retail shop, and a co-working space, offering an elevated guest experience.
RRS International Development, a leading real estate developer in the UAE, is bringing its expertise to this project as part of its dedicated focus on Ras Al Khaimah’s booming hospitality and real estate sector. The NH Collection property is positioned as a key addition to Al Marjan Island’s evolving landscape, which includes the UAE’s first integrated resort and multiple five-star hotel projects.
Highlighting the significance of the partnership, Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels, stated:"We are excited to announce the expansion of NH Collection within the Middle East, reinforcing the brand’s global growth beyond Europe and the Americas. RRS International Development has a deep understanding of the regional real estate market, and we look forward to working together to develop this remarkable property on Al Marjan Island."
The launch of NH Collection Ras Al Khaimah Al Marjan Island Hotel & Apartments aligns with Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism vision, which aims to attract high-end travelers and investment. Expressing excitement about the project, Sanjay Narayandas Dhawan, RRS International Development FZ-LLC, commented:"This landmark development under the NH Collection brand will redefine boutique hospitality on Al Marjan Island. We are honored to align with Minor Hotels and contribute to the growth of this dynamic destination under the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi."
Adding to this, Rakesh Mirchandani, RRS International Development FZ-LLC, stated:"With Al Marjan Island set to become a premier five-star resort destination, we are committed to creating world-class developments that offer luxury at an attainable value."
Marjan’s Chief Executive Officer, Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, also emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating:"Our vision to transform Al Marjan Island into a vibrant tourism and lifestyle destination is further strengthened by the arrival of NH Collection. Their focus on service excellence and premium hospitality aligns perfectly with our commitment to curating exceptional guest experiences."
The new NH Collection property will join Minor Hotels' expanding portfolio in the UAE, where the group currently operates 17 properties across four brands, including Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort, which debuted in early 2024. NH Collection first entered the UAE market with NH Collection Dubai The Palm in 2023—marking its global expansion beyond Europe and the Americas. Since then, the brand has extended its presence to Asia and the Indian Ocean, with further developments planned across Africa and the Middle East.
With its prime beachfront location, sophisticated amenities, and NH Collection’s signature blend of contemporary elegance and exceptional service, the NH Collection Ras Al Khaimah Al Marjan Island Hotel & Apartments is poised to become a standout addition to Ras Al Khaimah’s luxury hospitality scene.
