Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island, located on the tranquil shores of Ras Al Khaimah, has quickly become a sought-after destination for families and leisure travelers since its opening in June 2022. The resort features 418 rooms, suites, and chalets, each offering uninterrupted sea views and direct access to a 300-meter private white sand beach. Its proximity to Dubai—just a 45-minute drive from Dubai International Airport—makes it an accessible getaway for residents and visitors seeking a blend of relaxation and recreation.
Guests find a wide range of amenities designed for families. Three outdoor pools, a year-round kids’ club, and a variety of dining options across six specialty restaurants and bars create a welcoming environment for all ages. General manager Fabien Chesnais explains, “Creating memorable experiences for families is central to our mission. Our new initiatives are designed so that children and teens feel just as special as adults during their stay.”

The Perfect Escape Staycation package at Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island offers couples and families a seamless escape. The offer includes breakfast for two at The Market, a dinner set menu for two at Ula with two cocktails each, a complimentary upgrade to a Beachfront Junior Suite with Terrace, and guaranteed late checkout until 3 p.m. Guests can book this package at AED 849 on weekdays and AED 949 on weekends, with availability until September 30, 2025.
This staycation package allows guests to experience the resort’s signature hospitality, with access to its private beach and a range of recreational facilities. Guests can enjoy complimentary daily Chocolate Hour at the MÖCA Lobby Lounge, along with exclusive 30% savings on spa treatments at Citrine Spa during their stay at the resort.
Chesnais emphasizes the holistic experience for families, stating, “We understand that the family experience is holistic. If the kids are bored, then the parents will surely pay the price, and so we have truly thought outside the box when it comes to creating fantastic experiences that truly excite and entertain young people.”
Activities for All Ages: Wibit, Mini Golf, Teenzone, and Arcade
Families discover diverse activities designed to engage guests of all ages.

The mini golf course, the first of its kind on Al Marjan Island, is open daily and caters to families and couples, adding a playful element to the stay.
Teenagers enjoy the Xscape Teen Zone, a dedicated space with online and arcade games that create a vibrant social environment. The Xplore Arcade Room features classic games such as billiards, air hockey, and pinball, inviting families to bond over friendly competition. The Starfish Adventure Kids Club delivers age-appropriate programming for younger guests, ensuring every family member finds activities suited to their interests.
Chesnais’s leadership has shaped the resort’s family offerings. He notes,
"My focus has been on fostering team collaboration and delivering outstanding guest satisfaction, which I believe is the key to success in hospitality.”

The resort’s hospitality extends to cultural integration, offering guests opportunities to experience authentic Emirati cuisine and curated cultural activities. Chesnais highlights this direction, stating, “At Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island, we strive to create a seamless fusion of luxury and culture, offering guests an immersive experience that celebrates the rich traditions of Ras Al Khaimah.”
