The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel & Residences

The leading developer has appointed Palladium Hotel Group, the reputed Spanish hotel operator, to manage this prestigious project, consisting of two properties: The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and The Unexpected Al Marjan Residences, under the renowned brand Ushuaïa Unexpected Hotels & Residences. The company has also appointed the Design & ARchitecture bureau (DAR) as the lead design consultant for the project. 

Design Features

Creating a captivating synergy with its natural surroundings, The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel & Residences design seamlessly integrates with the ocean waves, inviting guests to indulge in the serenity of coastal living. By utilising light-coloured materials, the property creates a clean and inviting atmosphere during the day, with dynamic lighting, including an LED archway and a backlit roof canopy, transforming the space into an enchanting display at night.

Extending the natural contours of the coastline into the landscape and creating a harmonious flow from the exterior to the interior, strategic level changes guide attention to immersive events, framed by the stunning ocean views. Meanwhile, thoughtful placement of vegetation and terrain elements enhances aesthetics and reduces external noise, beckoning you to immerse yourself in a haven of natural splendour. Steeped in Mediterranean flora, the property fosters a profound connection to the surrounding environment, echoing the rhythmic harmony of the sea.

World-Class Amenities

Situated less than a minute from the Wynn resort, guests will enjoy an infinity rooftop pool, a vibrant beach club, a spa and wellness centre, pocket gardens, five intimate dining areas serving up authentic international cuisine, and so much more. The first floor caters to VIP guests with exclusive suites and private pools while the incredible rooftop is home to the Rooftop Restaurant & Bar Terrace, VIP Garden Platform, various pool decks, and spa facilities for ultimate relaxation and entertainment. Guests can also look forward to a fresh take on breakfast with an all-day dining concept, ensuring a new experience every morning.

Upon entering this elegant property, the lobby creates an immersive experience with its curved LED screen, presenting a new spectacle upon every visit, complemented by an iconic hanging feature that encapsulates the essence of The Unexpected. The stylish surroundings beautifully translate into the room design with an array of impressive amenities and design features, each crafted to ensure unparalleled opulence and comfort. Embracing the concept of "angel by day, devil by night," rooms transition from light, airy tones in the living areas and balconies to darker, more vibrant, atmospheric hues in the bathrooms and kitchens. 

Every room is equipped with a unique maxi bar featuring custom-made hummingbird handles, adding a chic touch to each space. Select rooms go a step further with an intriguing ceiling mirror feature, while glass shower designs provide a blend of privacy and striking visual appeal in every bathroom. Additionally, 64 of its stylish rooms boast private Jacuzzis and bathtubs on the balconies, inviting you to unwind while soaking in breathtaking views of the glistening Arabian Gulf.
