UAE: Mövenpick Plans Resort On Al Marjan Island In Ras Al Khaimah

Al Marjan Island (AMI) Company, a leading waterfront development firm in the UAE, has forged a strategic partnership with Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts to launch its first resort in Ras Al Khaimah.

The partnership was revealed at the stand of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority at the the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2016 in Dubai, by Andreas Mattmüller, chief operating officer, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts Middle East and South Asia, and architect Abdullah Rashed Al Abdouli, managing director of AMI Company.

The project is located on Breeze Island at a magnificent waterfront location. The construction will commence next year and the resort is expected to be completed and start operations by 2020.

The resort is one of the main five-star projects to be announced by AMI in 2016. The resort will boast 450 rooms, 120 branded residences and 70 branded apartments and villas, in addition to world-class entertainment attractions, restaurants, cafes, and fitness facilities.

“It is a matter of pride to announce that AMI will be the home to the maiden Mövenpick resort in Ras Al Khaimah,” said Al Abdouli. “This partnership represents an iconic addition to the veritable gems on the picturesque AMI Island and it will increase our market share of the five-star hotel rooms in Ras Al Khaimah. An exceptional location for the resort has been allocated on Breeze Island making this project an exceptional combination of service and location to provide the highest standards of comfort to our guests.

“It is always very exciting when we enter a new destination and Ras Al Khaimah is a fantastic addition to our portfolio. We have extensive experience operating large, beachfront resorts for families and teaming up with great partners to bring this project to fruition is something we are really looking forward to,” said Mattmüller.

“Ras Al Khaimah is quickly becoming a top destination of choice for local, regional and international visitors, and our hospitality sector has shown consistent growth. As part of our strategy to diversify our product offering and hotel brands, developments such as this one with Mövenpick will ensure we are able to continue to meet the demands of travellers as we work towards our goal of welcoming one million visitors by the end of 2018,” added Haitham Mattar, CEO of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority.
