Nobu Hospitality has confirmed a move to further expand its UAE offering through the development of Nobu Hotel, Restaurant & Residences, Al Marjan Island. The move follows the group’s recent announcement of its Abu Dhabi property, opening in 2026.

The latest Nobu venture will see vast new developments on the Al Marjan Island in the Persian Gulf, spearheaded by Nobu Hospitality and Enevoria Development. The hotel’s design will draw on the natural beauty of the island, while facilities will include a spa and fitness centre, swimming pools, and a Nobu beach club.

“Our collaboration with Nobu Hospitality will be instrumental in creating a signature international property ensuring impeccable lifestyle that is an integral part of our brand philosophy and a hallmark of Nobu style,” explains Evgeniy Yakubovskiy, General Manager of Enevoria Development.

Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality, comments: “We are thrilled to be continuing our expansion within the UAE and the vision for Al Marjan Island and Ras Al Khaimah aligns seamlessly with the Nobu brand. The charm of Al Marjan Island is the ideal setting for our guests and in developing a community who are seeking an authentic destination lifestyle and living experience. We are proud to partner with Enevoria on this exciting development and look forward to introducing Nobu Al Marjan Island to guests and residents alike.”

The development of the Al Marjan Island site marks the second Nobu property in the UAE, and underscores the brand’s expansion in the region.
