RAS AL KHAIMAH – DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island has secured two major accolades at the Haute Grandeur Global Awards 2025, further cementing its reputation as one of the UAE’s leading hospitality destinations.

The Ras Al Khaimah resort has been named ‘Best All-Inclusive Family Resort UAE’ and ‘Best Beach Resort UAE’, distinctions that spotlight its enduring appeal to both families and leisure travellers.

This recognition, presented by a globally respected awards platform spanning six continents and more than 60 countries, underscores the resort’s benchmark status in lifestyle-driven hospitality. Each award signifies excellence across all guest touchpoints, from quality and service to value and overall experience.

Haute Grandeur Global Awards

The Haute Grandeur Global Awards are regarded as one of the most transparent recognition platforms in the hospitality industry, as honours are determined by verified guest feedback rather than public voting or panel judging. This ensures an unbiased assessment of establishments worldwide, with accolades reserved only for properties consistently delivering outstanding service.

The double win places DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island among a select group of hotels and resorts worldwide recognised for unmatched hospitality excellence.

Pieter Van Beugen, General Manager of the resort, said: “We are beyond thrilled to be recognised with these two accolades at Haute Grandeur Global Awards 2025. Since its opening over a decade ago, DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island has always strived to not just meet but exceed guest expectations. We would like to thank every single member of our team for making this possible, and we look forward to helping guests create unforgettable stays for many years to come.”

Spanning 650 metres of private beachfront, the resort blends relaxation and adventure for all ages. Guests can choose from 13 restaurants and bars, seven swimming pools, padel courts, a spa, a lively kids club, and a wide range of leisure options.

This holistic offering, paired with consistently warm service, has enabled the hotel to remain a standout destination within Ras Al Khaimah’s competitive hospitality landscape.

What’s next?

Looking ahead, DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island aims to build on this achievement by refining its guest offerings and adapting to evolving traveller expectations.

The resort continues to prioritise quality, innovation, and consistency in delivering memorable stays, reinforcing its standing as a leader in the UAE’s hospitality market.
