Abu Dhabi National Hotels (ADNH) is investing over AED1 billion for the development of a luxury resort at Ras Al Khaimah.
The resort, which is set to be located at the emirate’s Al Marjan Island, is part of the company’s expansion plans, post-pandemic.
The resort, set on a 1 million square-foot site, will feature 1000 rooms.
“This luxury resort will complement our existing portfolio across Abu Dhabi and Dubai,” Abu Dhabi National Hotels’ chief executive officer Khalid Anib.
Anib added: “At ADNH, we are confident that our investment in Ras Al Khaimah will create strong returns to our shareholders and enhance the UAE as a leading travel and hospitality destination.”
Al Marjan Island is a top tourist destination in the UAE, and is also home to several hotel operators.
“The investment by ADNH to develop a luxury resort in Al Marjan Island reflects its confidence in the potential of the destination and will catalyse additional investments,” Marjan’s chief executive officer Abdulla Al Abdooli said.
Al Marjan Island is home to over 3,000 hotel rooms, including Hampton by Hilton Marjan Island, Movenpick Resort Al Marjan Island, Rixos Bab Al Bahr Hotel, DoubleTree by Hilton Resort and Spa Marjan Island, and Marjan Island Resort and Spa.
