SKH Family Office acquires Rotana resort in Ras Al Khaimah

Dubai-based SKH Family Office has acquired The Cove Rotana Resort from Orascom Development Holding, marking a significant vote of confidence in Ras Al Khaimah’s rapidly expanding luxury hospitality sector. The investment aligns with SKH Family Office’s broader strategy to develop a portfolio of premium tourism assets and capitalise on growth opportunities across one of the UAE’s fastest‑rising emirates.

Opened in 2009, The Cove Rotana is among RAK’s most distinctive beachfront resorts, characterised by hillside, village-style architecture cascading down to a private sandy beach, blending Mediterranean charm with Arabian coastal ambience. The 389-key property, comprising 349 rooms and 40 private villas, occupies a sweeping shoreline location that offers strong potential for the owner’s planned enhancements.

Under its new ownership, a targeted development programme will modernise facilities, elevate guest experiences and integrate sustainability principles throughout operations. The aim is to position the resort as “a leading destination for leisure and family tourism experiences,” according to SKH Family Office.

Operational continuity will be maintained through a renewed management agreement with Rotana, which will continue to oversee day-to-day operations, ensuring service consistency and reinforcing the resort’s competitive edge in the regional and international markets.

Saqr Kamal Hassan, founder and Chairman of SKH Family Office, said the acquisition represents an important strategic milestone in their journey to “build and develop high-value hospitality assets” in the UAE. “The Cove Rotana Resort is a distinguished asset, offering a unique location, exceptional character, and promising growth potential,” he added.
