RAK Hospitality Holding acquires major Marjan Island hotel
31.08.2023 - 06:27 / breakingtravelnews.com / Ras Al-Khaimah / Paul Stevens / Marjan Island / Holding
RAK National Hotels, part of RAK Hospitality Holding, continues to bolster its portfolio on Marjan Island. In its latest move, the government-backed company has acquired the Marjan Island Resort & Spa for an undisclosed price from Manazil Group.
The hotel will remain under Accor Group’s operation and will be reflagged as a Pullman property in the near future.
According to RAK Hospitality Holding, the deal showcases the company’s firm belief in Marjan Island’s investment opportunities, “especially” after the announcement of Wynn Al Marjan Island.
James Wrenn, executive director, capital markets, Colliers in MENA, said: “Colliers is delighted to have led the sale of the well-known Marjan Island Resort & Spa in Ras Al Khaimah on behalf of the vendor, Manazil Group. The investment represents further commitment by the buyer RAK National Hotels (RAKNH) to realise the exciting ambitions of Ras Al Khaimah tourism over the coming years. We wish RAKNH and the operator Accor the very best as the property enters a new era, and of course extend our continued best wishes to Manazil Group with their existing portfolio of quality hotel assets.”
Huge opportunities on Marjan Island
Alison Grinnell, CEO of RAK Hospitality Holding commented: “The acquisition of Marjan Island Resort & Spa underscores our continued investment in Ras Al Khaimah and recognises the huge opportunities in the Emirate as it positions itself as an international leisure destination. The property is ideally located to capitalise on these opportunities, and working with our partner Accor, we believe we can transform the property into a unique destination for tourists.”

Abdul Mohsen Al Hammadi, chairman and CEO of Manazil Group said: “After being one of the first properties to open on Al Marjan Island back in 2014, Marjan Island Resort & Spa became a stepping stone for our Group to enter into the hotel business and open four more hotels managed by Accor within the UAE, namely Movenpick, Novotel and Adagio in Jumeriah Village Triangle, and Pullman Sharjah.”
Paul Stevens, COO Premium, Midscale & Economy Division for Middle East & Africa at Accor said: “We are very pleased to continue our strategic partnership with RAK Hospitality Holding, a collaboration which embodies our commitment to delivering unparalleled guest experiences and fostering innovation within the hospitality industry. Together, we look forward to creating memorable moments for our valued guests visiting Ras Al Khaimah.”

I Found the Best Caribbean Hotel for Anyone Who Loves Awesome Pools
One of the best things about working remotely is the ability to be, well, remote. And while some people have full home office setups and need the stability of working in the same place every day, as a travel writer, all I really need is my laptop. So when I had the chance to travel to the Caribbean recently, I decided to add on a few extra days of scuba diving and working remotely on St. Maarten, to the east of the Virgin Islands. Given that my direct flight from the East Coast was only $250, and hotel rooms in St. Maarten’s off season start around $100 per night, it seemed like a great choice.

A Long Walk on a Small(ish) Island
Never underestimate the difficulty of a flat trail over a great distance. After my first five-hour day following the Island Walk, a new 435-mile trail that rings Prince Edward Island, in Canada’s smallest province, I limped into Points East Coastal Inn in bayside St. Peter’s Bay with a blister cooking on my right sole and a paralyzing need to rest barefoot until checkout the next morning.
