Beachfront property introduces tech upgrades, local artwork and Ras Al Khaimah’s first vegan restaurant
Pullman Resort Al Marjan Island has reopened after a three-month transformation, unveiling extensive upgrades across accommodation, dining and wellness experiences.
The Accor-managed beachfront property, which originally launched in February 2024, has repositioned itself as an Urban Resort, blending “culinary artistry, cultural appreciation and comfort” in its approach to hospitality.
Situated 45 minutes from Dubai International Airport and 40 minutes from Sharjah International, the resort features 300 refurbished rooms and suites, including three-bedroom configurations.
Local heritage is spotlighted with warm earth tones, gold accents and bespoke artworks by Ras Al Khaimah-based artists showcased throughout.
Room enhancements extend to Pullman’s signature bedding, and tech upgrades including next-generation LED TVs and enhanced high-speed Wi-Fi.
A transformed F&B offering introduces The Herbarium, Ras Al Khaimah’s first fully vegan and vegetarian restaurant, which specialises in plant-based cuisine with tea rituals and live music.

Dar Zellij serves Moroccan flavours in an intimate setting, while The Exchange is a market-style venue with interactive kitchens and a rotating menu of seasonal dishes.
The Sunset Hub combines fresh seafood with signature cocktails, and Braai by the beach brings South African grilled dishes to the emirate.
The property also offers an expansive pool, updated wellness facilities and curated retail outlets. Activities cater to diverse guests, with dedicated play areas for children, outdoor movie screenings, tennis, volleyball, plus event spaces with Gulf views.
Central to the reopening is a commitment to responsible hospitality, with new initiatives such as digital room keys, a hydration station in the lobby and reduced single-use plastics.
Recently appointed Cluster General Manager for Pullman Resort Al Marjan Island and Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island, Evan Harrington said: “Every experience has been re-imagined with today’s traveller in mind, from elevated gastronomy to responsible design, and we’re proud to welcome guests into this new era”.
Al Marjan Island is undergoing significant development, with high-profile projects such as Wynn Al Marjan Island – the UAE’s first casino resort – scheduled to open in early 2027.
Upcoming launches also include Ennismore’s all-inclusive SO/ Ras Al Khaimah, opening later this year, and properties from Four Seasons, Nobu Hotels, Fairmont, Taj and NH Collection.
Ras Al Khaimah recorded 1.28 million arrivals in 2024, a 12% revenue increase, as the emirate works toward a goal of 3.5 million visitors by 2030. Its luxury credentials have been strengthened with new memberships in Virtuoso and Serandipians by Traveller Made, expanding global market reach.
