Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island

Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island stands at the forefront of next-generation luxury, proving that high-end hospitality and environmental stewardship can thrive side by side. Opened in 2022 on Ras Al Khaimah’s Al Marjan Island, the 418-room beachfront escape quickly became a haven for families, couples, and thrill-seekers who value comfort with conscience. Part of the Mövenpick brand, famed for culinary flair since 1948, the resort fuses tradition with forward-looking innovation. Its recent International Sustainability Award 2025 win highlights how operational excellence and environmental integrity can coexist without compromise, delivering extraordinary experiences for guests worldwide.

The property’s Zero Plastic Initiative exemplifies this ethos. An on-site bottling plant fills elegant reusable glass vessels with filtered, mineralised water, eliminating single-use plastics across guest touchpoints and cutting tonnes of waste annually. Food refuse follows an equally innovative path: a SYKER digester transforms leftovers into grey water, diverting more than 13,000 kg of waste—and 32.9 t of CO₂—within its first eight weeks of operation.

Mövenpick’s impact extends beyond its shoreline. Regular beach clean-ups, tree-planting drives, and the “Kilo of Kindness” food-donation campaign invite guests and employees to co-author a greener, fairer future alongside local NGOs and the UAE Food Bank. Partnerships that create meaningful roles for people of determination further reinforce the resort’s people-first mindset.

Operational transparency underpins every claim. Using Accor’s GAIA² analytics platform, the team tracks energy, water, emissions, and waste monthly, enabling data-driven decisions that trimmed landfill output by nearly 100,000 kg and reduced food waste by 16.5 % in 2024 alone. Upcoming sensor-based water systems and the guest-focused “Stay Green” housekeeping opt-out scheme are set to deepen those savings, potentially conserving 6,500 litres of water for every 40,000 room nights.

Accolades such as the Environment-Friendly Hotel Award 2023 and the coveted International Sustainability Award 2025 confirm what travellers already know: Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island is redefining Gulf luxury by weaving sustainability into every stay. For discerning visitors who believe indulgence should never cost the Earth, the resort offers proof that responsible travel is an elevation—and an invitation to be part of the solution.
