Marjan Hospitality is set to refurbish more than 600 rooms across two resorts in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, with works commencing in early October 2026. The renovation program covers Rixos Al Mairid and Pullman Resort Al Marjan Island, aiming to upgrade facilities and guest experiences at both properties.
Full Refurbishment of Rixos Al Mairid’s Main Building
At Rixos Al Mairid, the main building’s rooms will undergo a complete refurbishment designed to elevate the resort’s premium positioning. The project involves upgraded furnishings, finishes, and room layouts that will transform the guest experience while maintaining the hotel’s unique character. The renovated Rixos Al Mairid is scheduled to reopen
in December 2026.
Pullman Resort Al Marjan Island’s Transition to Adults-Only and Refurbishment
Pullman Resort Al Marjan Island is refurbishing all 300 of its rooms as part of a comprehensive upgrade. After renovation, the resort will operate as an adults-only property. The redesign introduces the “Ocean Dusk & Dawn” concept, inspired by the natural light and landscapes of the Arabian Sea and Al Marjan Island. The Pullman Resort is expected to reopen by the second quarter of 2027.
Investment Supports Ras Al Khaimah’s Growing Hospitality Sector
Marjan Hospitality’s refurbishment plans coincide with increased momentum in Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism and hospitality development, including new premium projects such as Wynn Al Marjan Island. The company seeks to ensure its
established properties evolve to meet modern guest expectations and contribute to the destination’s overall quality. Alison Grinnell, Group COO of Marjan and CEO of Marjan Hospitality, emphasized maintaining clear property identities aligned with the emirate’s standard-raising developments.
These renovations form part of wider efforts to enhance Ras Al Khaimah’s hospitality offerings amidst growing demand for premium lifestyle and leisure experiences. Marjan Hospitality also recently expanded The Ritz-Carlton Residences Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert, adding 35 standalone private villas within the protected Al Wadi Nature Reserve.
