Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island

Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates

Ever since it opened in the summer of 2022, Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island has been on the radar of those looking for an upscale family getaway. The man-made Maran Island, which comprises four coral-shaped islands, is set against an Arabian Peninsula backdrop, framed by the Yanis and Jais mountains. It’s home to 7.8km of pristine, white-sand shoreline, 300 metres of which belong to Mövenpick. The Swiss heritage brand has created a beachfront hotel with 418 guestrooms and suites; many come with plunge pools and daybeds, as well as sofa beds and interconnecting rooms to accommodate larger groups. All offer glossy en-suites with rain showers and slick service. Six restaurant and bar concepts mean there’s something to cater for every taste and age. At Boons, table activities, cooking classes and an outdoor playground are laid on for little ones. For starlit cocktails, Neo Sky Bar is the island’s only rooftop lounge, while Chocolate Hour at MÖCA Lobby Lounge will keep the sweet-toothed happy. The floating water park and Starfish Adventure kids' club caters to the young; the Citrine Spa is for grown-up pampering.
