Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island has proven yet again its reputation as a premium beachfront destination with two recognitions at the TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2025 – Middle East.
Redefining family travel
Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island has quickly earned a reputation for being one of the region’s leading family-focused resorts. This is because of its combination of serene beachfront luxury, recreation, and Swiss-inspired hospitality that caters to multigenerational travellers.
The resort features 418 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, including connecting family rooms and private pool chalets. In 2023–2024, Mövenpick further expanded its family-friendly offerings with the launch of signature attractions, including the largest floating Wibit Water Park in Ras Al Khaimah, the interactive Xplore Arcade Room, and the Xscape Teen Zone, which was specifically built for teenagers.
Meanwhile, for younger guests, Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island opened the Starfish Adventure Kids Club, which features supervised indoor and outdoor activities year-round. During school holidays, the resort introduces themed summer and winter kids camps that are open to both in-house guests and local families.
Furthermore, Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island has six restaurants where guests will find dedicated kids’ buffets, allergen-friendly menus, and special dining promotions. One of the most memorable moments for families is the resort’s daily Mövenpick Signature Chocolate Hour – a sweet tradition that delights children and indulges adults alike. Every afternoon, guests are treated to complimentary handcrafted chocolates, pralines, and desserts, creating a joyful gathering filled with indulgence and smiles. It’s not just about the taste; it’s an experience that captures the essence of Mövenpick’s Swiss heritage and leaves guests with a cherished memory of togetherness. The resort is also known for its in-room mini tents and activity kits for children, themed birthday celebration packages and tailored welcome amenities.
Additionally, the property supports family-oriented initiatives such as influencer staycations, educational workshops, and CSR campaigns, which are initiatives under its partnership with RAKTDA (Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority) and other collaborators. A notable initiative amongst these efforts is the “Kilo of Kindness” campaign, which encourages children and families to donate non-perishable goods whilst learning the values of empathy and giving back. Each year, the campaign not only supports families in need but also instils a sense of responsibility in families and young participants, turning small acts of kindness into a powerful community impact.
By continuously maintaining a guest-first mindset, Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island has evolved from a luxury resort into a destination where families reconnect, relax, and create lasting memories.
The visionary leader behind the hotel’s success
Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan has remained at the top of luxury hospitality with the leadership of its general manager, Fabien Chesnais.
With Chesnais as the driving force behind the property’s remarkable growth, it has become one of the top-performing Accor properties in the UAE and currently holds the #1 position in Revenue Generation Index (RGI) across the group.
The resort has also gone beyond commercial success and emerged as a media standout. This was after it generated more than 1 billion media impressions and over US$1.2m in Advertising Value Equivalent (AVE).
Chesnais’s impact also extends beyond performance metrics, with the resort earning the Platinum Sustainability title for its eco-conscious initiatives and responsible operations. He is equally known for his people-first leadership style that has created one of the most engaged workforces in the region.
More than just a hotelier, Chesnais is a visionary leader, brand builder, and mentor whose dedication to excellence has inspired both his team and industry peers.
