Almal Real Estate Development has officially commenced construction on its highly anticipated $280 million flagship project, The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residences. Located on Al Marjan Island, the development promises to redefine luxury living and hospitality in the region.
Set to open its doors in 2026, the project will feature a total of 422 hotel and residential units, each offering breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf. Guests and residents will also enjoy proximity to the Wynn resort, providing unparalleled vistas of both the resort and the serene sea.
The development will boast an array of world-class amenities, including an infinity rooftop pool, a vibrant beach club, a spa and wellness centre, and five diverse dining options catering to a variety of tastes.
Almal has partnered with Palladium Hotel Group to manage the hotel and residences under the prestigious Ushuaïa Unexpected Hotels and Residences brand. The collaboration aims to create an exceptional experience for guests, combining luxury, innovation, and unparalleled service.
The project’s architectural design, led by DAR, is inspired by the concept of cymatics, drawing inspiration from the patterns created by sound wave vibrations. The use of light-coloured materials creates a serene and inviting atmosphere, perfectly complementing the island’s natural beauty.
The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residences is expected to significantly impact the region’s tourism and economy, creating numerous job opportunities and attracting visitors from around the world.
With its prime location, stunning design, and world-class amenities, the project is anticipated to become a landmark destination.
