Anticipated to open on Ramhan Island, a waterfront destination in Abu Dhabi, the secluded property will offer expansive views across the Arabian Gulf.

“Together with Eagle Hills, we look forward to bringing Ritz-Carlton Reserve to the UAE and offering intimate and transformative experiences in an ultra-luxury setting,” says Sandeep Walia, Chief Operating Officer – Middle East, Marriott International. 

“This monumental signing marks an important addition to our portfolio in the country where we continue to see a strong demand for luxury experiences.”

Ramhan Island is being developed to become the next destination for travellers in the UAE. Covering over 4mn sq. meters of development area, the ultra-luxury destination features a natural island connected through a network of waterways. The fully integrated waterfront community will be home to charming residential villas, marina residences and luxury hotels.

Slated to open in 2029, the Reserve will be situated on a secluded island within Ramhan Island. It will feature 50 private one-to-four-bedroom luxury villas including the region’s first anticipated floating villas with unobstructed waterfront views. Plans also include a range of leisure amenities and multiple culinary venues.

Ritz-Carlton Reserve currently features a collection of only seven properties in destinations including Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Indonesia, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.
