“With Ras Al Khaimah expected to welcome over 3.8 million visitors by 2027 we see great opportunity in the emirate and its leisure hubs such as Marjan Island”- Carlos Khneisser
Hilton announced an agreement with M Hospitality to open Hilton Marjan Island Beach Resort & Spa in Ras Al Khaimah, the UAE’s northernmost emirate. The property is expected to open in Q4 2026.
Surrounded by RAK’s coastline and a myriad of landscapes, from the rugged peaks of the Hajar Mountains to the beaches along the Persian Gulf, Hilton Marjan Island Beach Resort & Spa will be easily accessible – with Dubai International Airport just an hour’s drive away and Ras Al Khaimah International Airport only 20 minutes away. The hotel will also be adjacent to Hilton Hampton by Hilton Marjan Island.
The hotel will offer 315 spacious king rooms and 35 suites and will boast a choice of six restaurants and bars with a range of leisure facilities – including a fitness club, a spa and wellness centre, a 360-degree sky pool overlooking the Arabian Gulf, tennis courts, a kids club and a dedicated kids pool and playground. The property will also offer an executive lounge, four meeting rooms and a ballroom that can host up to 300 people.
Carlos Khneisser, Vice president, Development, Middle East & Africa, Hilton said, “With Ras Al Khaimah expected to welcome over 3.8 million visitors by 2027 we see great opportunity in the emirate and its leisure hubs such as Marjan Island. We currently have two hotels in operation on the island and Hilton Marjan Island Beach Resort & Spa will add significantly to our offering.”
Mohammed Ruqait, chairman of M Hospitality, said, “We are honoured to unveil our latest venture — a world-class hotel on Ras Al Khaimah’s iconic Al Marjan Island. This project reflects our commitment to redefining modern living, offering an upscale hospitality experience. Teaming up with the prestigious Hilton brand signifies the third milestone in our journey, and we are excited to contribute to the cultural and economic landscape of Ras Al Khaimah.”
The resort will bolster Hilton´s existing portfolio of 36 hotels in the UAE, including five in Ras Al Khaimah.
