Luxurious W Al Marjan Island Will Open in Ras Al-Khaimah

Right off the coast of Dubai, in the emirate of Ras Al-Khaimah, the crescent-shaped archipelago of Al Marjan is a slice of luxury on the Arabian Peninsula, dotted with glamorous destinations and high-end eateries. And it is here that Marriott International, Inc. and Dalands Holding have announced the opening of a new W Hotel, bringing the luxurious brand to the shores of the island’s white beaches in 2027.

"We are excited to work with Dalands Holding to bring W's invigorating energy and dynamic design to Al Marjan Island,” Saahil Lalit, Vice President – Development, Middle East at Marriott International, tells SceneTraveller. “Ras Al Khaimah continues to be a sought-after leisure destination attracting global travellers to its idyllic beaches and attractions.”

Enclosed between the Yanas and Jais Mountains, W Al Marjan Island will combine extravagance with local history and culture, offering guests an escape from reality within its 300 rooms and suites. Elegant interiors will be matched with magnificent sea views, while guests are able to pass the time at one of three fine dining options, the fitness centre, or the range of retail destinations.
