Marjan Hospitality: Powering Ras Al Khaimah’s Tourism Transformation
From the UAE’s first integrated resort to award-winning sustainable properties, Marjan’s hospitality portfolio spans luxury beachfront, urban luxury/immersive desert, and conservation-led experiences – elevating RAK toward its Vision 2030 target of 3.5 million annual visitors.
Hospitality sits at the heart of Marjan’s ambition to establish Ras Al Khaimah as one of the world’s most compelling lifestyle and investment destinations. In 2024, Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding merged to create the emirate’s first integrated development and hospitality operations platform. By unifying master planning, development and hotel operations under one entity, Marjan now controls the full value chain from land allocation through operational performance.
As Ras Al Khaimah accelerates towards its Vision 2030 target of welcoming more than 3.5 million visitors annually, our portfolio – which spans luxury beachfront retreats, immersive desert sanctuaries, vibrant family resorts and eco-focused mountain lodges – is ideally positioned to meet the needs of a growing and increasingly diverse visitor base.
Guided by a commitment to sustainable development, we partner with leading international brands to deliver properties that elevate Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism offering while strengthening its economy.
From iconic developments such as Wynn Al Marjan Island — the UAE’s first integrated resort — to the expanding luxury and lifestyle pipeline across Al Marjan Island, Marjan Beach, RAK Central and Jebel Jais, every project plays a vital role in shaping a diverse, dynamic hospitality ecosystem unlike anywhere else in the region.
Ultimately, our mission is to create destinations that honour Ras Al Khaimah’s natural beauty, cultural richness and traditional Arabian hospitality, while offering travellers, residents and investors an experience that stands confidently alongside the world’s best.
A Unified, Future-Ready Hospitality Platform
Marjan brings master planning, development and hospitality operations together under one integrated platform. This unified approach enables us to:
Create a strategically balanced hotel pipeline
Form long-term partnerships with leading international brands
Maximise the operational performance of our existing portfolio
Set a benchmark for high-quality guest experiences across all destinations
By integrating world-class hospitality benchmarks into every masterplan, we are building a hospitality ecosystem that is resilient, distinctive and reflects Ras Al Khaimah’s unique appeal as one of the region’s fastest-growing destinations.
Meeting the Needs of Modern Travellers and Investors
Ras Al Khaimah is attracting a broader mix of visitors than ever before, reflecting its rising global profile and its appeal to travellers seeking authentic, memorable and nature-led experiences. Our hospitality strategy is designed to meet the needs of these audiences:
Luxury
The Ritz-Carlton Al Wadi Desert (ADR: AED 2,800+) targets high-net-worth travellers seeking privacy and authentic heritage experiences.
Integrated Resorts
Wynn Al Marjan Island creates an entirely new segment for UAE tourism, combining gaming, entertainment, MICE and luxury accommodation at scale. Comparable global developments — such as those in Singapore and Macau — deliver economic impact three to four times greater than traditional hotels.
Family & Lifestyle
Properties such as Rixos Al Mairid and Hilton Garden Inn serve the high-volume family segment, which accounts for around 60% of current visitors to Ras Al Khaimah. These hotels provide the essential midscale accommodation base needed to support destination growth at scale.
Adventure & Nature
Planned developments on Jebel Jais and coastal properties along Marjan Beach will expand RAK’s appeal as an adventure- and eco-tourism destination.
Destinations that Showcase Ras Al Khaimah’s Dynamism
Marjan is spearheading one of the region’s most exciting hospitality development pipelines, expanding the range and quality of experiences available across the emirate.

Transformative Projects for a New Era
The UAE’s first integrated resort, Wynn Al Marjan Island showcases the scale of our hospitality ambition for Ras Al Khaimah. Featuring more than 1,000 guestrooms and suites, world-class entertainment, signature dining, retail and wellness experiences, along with a state-of-the-art conference centre, the US$5.1 billion resort will play a defining role in attracting visitors from across the world to the emirate and unlocking new waves of international investment.
Alongside Wynn, we are introducing a range of new lifestyle-led concepts across the emirate, including branded residences, eco-focused mountain lodges and next-generation family resorts. Each project builds on Ras Al Khaimah’s natural strengths and reinforces its reputation as one of the region’s most diverse and exciting destinations for leisure, lifestyle and business.
Sustainable by Design
Sustainability is central to Marjan’s hospitality strategy. Every new development aligns with Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism sustainability framework, prioritising environmental stewardship, energy efficiency, community wellbeing and long-term value creation.
Through EarthCheck-aligned guidelines and a commitment to Responsible Tourism across our properties and attractions, we are shaping a hospitality ecosystem that protects the emirate’s stunning natural landscapes while enhancing its liveability and contributing to long-term economic prosperity.
