How It Compares

DoubleTree by Hilton is the larger full-service option, with a 650-metre private beach, seven pools and 13 restaurants and bars. It suits travellers who want a wider choice of facilities within the resort.

Rove Al Marjan Island offers a more casual lifestyle atmosphere, with a private beach, outdoor pool, splash pad and co-working spaces. Radisson sits between the two: more resort-focused than Rove, but smaller and simpler than DoubleTree.

Radisson Resort Ras Al Khaimah Marjan Island is best suited to families and couples seeking direct beach access, children’s facilities and varied dining without moving into the island’s highest luxury price bracket. Compare more options through Al Marjan Island hotels and where to stay in RAK.
