Hilton has announced a new agreement with M Hospitality to launch the Hilton Marjan Island Beach Resort & Spa in Ras Al Khaimah, the northernmost emirate of the UAE. This upscale property, set to open in Q4 2026, will expand Hilton’s rapidly growing portfolio of 80 hotels across 11 brands in the Middle East.

“Hilton has been operating in Ras Al Khaimah for over 20 years and we are excited to be working with M Hospitality once again,” said Carlos Khneisser, vice president, development, Middle East & Africa, Hilton. “With Ras Al Khaimah expected to welcome over 3.8 million visitors by 20271, 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.”

The Hilton Marjan Island Beach Resort & Spa will feature 315 spacious king rooms and 35 suites. Guests will enjoy six restaurants and bars, a fitness club, a spa and wellness center, a 360-degree sky pool with views of the Arabian Gulf, tennis courts, a kids club, and a dedicated kids pool and playground. Additionally, the resort will include an executive lounge, four meeting rooms, and a ballroom accommodating up to 300 guests.

Mohammed Ruqait, chairman of M Hospitality, said, “We are honored 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.”

Nestled along Ras Al Khaimah’s serene coastline, the resort offers a backdrop of diverse landscapes, from the rugged Hajar Mountains to the tranquil beaches of the Persian Gulf. It is conveniently accessible, located an hour’s drive from Dubai International Airport and just 20 minutes from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport. The property will also be situated next to Hampton by Hilton Marjan Island.

This new addition will enhance Hilton’s existing portfolio of 36 hotels in the UAE, including five in Ras Al Khaimah.
