Situated on the Corniche, the resort will boast 250 meters of sandy beaches and will feature 252 guestrooms and suites, including two penthouse offerings.

“Fairmont is extremely pleased to add another resort to the region, as it joins Fairmont Bab Al Bahr as well as upcoming properties on the Palm and Fujairah in affording our guests even more variety for travel,” said Jennifer Fox, president, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. “With its close proximity to the Sharjah and Dubai airports, the resort will attract travelers from Europe as well as serve as a popular destination for GCC residents.”

Dining options will include an all-day dining outlet, with a multi-kitchen format and two private dining rooms, which will transform into an à la carte restaurant in the evenings, focusing on modern Italian fare. Connected to this will be a lobby lounge, serving afternoon tea, pastries and snacks as well as wireless Internet access.

The resort will also include a contemporary eatery offering Turkish cuisine, with an adjoining cocktail bar, as well as a shisha terrace and poolside bar.

Event planners can take advantage of 2,000 square meters of indoor function space as well as outdoor facilities. Guests will also be able to enjoy a selection of retail outlets and fitness and water sport facilities.
