Al Marjan Island to feature Marriott International’s second hospitality offering on its shores.
Marjan has announced the launch of a W Hotel on Al Marjan Island on the back of a collaboration between Marriott International and Dalands Holding.
Slated for a grand opening early 2027, W Al Marjan Island is poised to achieve a dual distinction, not only as Marriott International’s second hospitality venture on the island, but also as W Hotel’s first property in Ras Al Khaimah, bringing the brand’s bold design, outstanding service, and always-on programming to the northern emirate.
Destined to be located on Marjan’s flagship archipelago island, set against the picturesque backdrop of the Arabian Peninsula, and enclosed by the Yanas and Jais Mountains, W Al Marjan Island will further elevate the appeal of this thriving leisure destination to globetrotters.
Featuring an inventory of 300 hotel rooms and suites with sweeping sea views, this magnificent property is also anticipated to include signature spaces such as the Living Room, WET deck, W Lounge, AWAY Spa, and FIT fitness centre along with three restaurants and retail spaces.
While Ras Al Khaimah is fast emerging as the tourism hub in the region, the forthcoming inauguration of the first W Hotel represents a remarkable stride towards cementing its stance as a global investment and hospitality destination of choice. This impending addition signifies more than just a new luxury establishment; it’s a testament to the northern emirate’s unwavering dedication to curating exceptional experiences for the tourist community.
Abdulla Al Abdouli, Chief Executive Officer, Marjan, said: “As Ras Al Khaimah rightfully solidifies its position on the global tourism landscape, we take pride in our significant contribution to enhancing its credibility and attractiveness among international investors. This commitment has led to a myriad of prestigious projects, as exemplified by the launch of W Al Marjan Island. We are confident that this addition to our portfolio will not only raise the bar on regional hospitality but also set a new global benchmark, further reinforcing the northern emirate’s destination appeal.”
“We are excited to work with Dalands Holding to bring W’s invigorating energy and dynamic design to Al Marjan Island,” said Saahil Lalit, Vice President – Development, Middle East, Marriott International. “Ras Al Khaimah continues to be a sought-after leisure destination attracting global travellers to its idyllic beaches and attractions. We look forward to continuing to support the growth of the tourism sector in the Emirate.”
Saurabh Gupta, CEO, Dalands Holding, said: “We believe this one-of-a-kind development will be immensely popular for its iconic design, luxurious accommodation and trendy culinary options. Like the other luxury hotels in our portfolio, we are developing W Al Marjan Island around the perceived needs of our future guests by curating exceptional offerings and unforgettable experiences. Through this project, we hope to further enhance the attractiveness of Al Marjan Island.”
Endowed with white sandy beaches stretching over 7.8 km and a 23 km waterfront, an array of activities, and water sports, Al Marjan Island is reimagining luxurious waterfront living in Ras Al Khaimah. It currently houses 3,000 hotel rooms offering unique lifestyle experiences to global and local travellers.

THE ORIGINAL, REIMAGINED: P.F. CHANG’S UNVEILS THE DYNAMITE MENU ACROSS THE GCC

The sauce that started it all has its own menu now. P.F. Chang’s,the original creator of the iconic Dynamite sauce, has unveiled The Dynamite Menu across its restaurants in the GCC, available for a limited time from 4 May 2026. Featuring seven bold, Asia-inspired dishes and two new beverages, the menu places the brand’s signature sauce at its center, giving diners across the region the chance to experience the original flavor that sparked a global dining phenomenon, with exclusive savings available for AURA members.
The Dynamite Menu is a pan-Asian journey anchored by one unmistakable sauce – bold, creamy, and distinctly P.F. Chang’s. Highlights include the Dynamite Paneer, a creamy, spice-forward vegetarian dish; Shogun Tuna Tacos, blending Japanese, Thai, and Mexican influences; and Onigiri Rice Bombs, crispy nori-coated bites filled with tuna, avocado, and pickled cabbage. The Scorching Baos offer a fiery take on a street food favorite with tender chicken or beef, while the Firecracker Bites deliver a crisp, cheesy finish with a spicy kick.


Complementing the menu are two refreshing beverages designed to balance the heat. The Watermelon Quencher, served by the carafe and built for sharing, blends fresh watermelon, zesty lemon, and a hint of sweetness into something light, cooling, and effortlessly refreshing. The Cucumber and Lime Zest Refresher pairs fresh cucumber juice, lime, and mint into a crisp, icy cooler that holds its own against even the most fiery bites on the plate. Between the food and the drinks, the Dynamite Menu is a full experience from start to finish.
For diners across the GCC, the Dynamite Menu offers a chance to experience the original – not a reinterpretation, but the flavor that defined a category. Rooted in P.F. Chang’s commitment to bold, pan-Asian cuisine, the menu reinforces the brand’s role in shaping one of the most recognizable flavor profiles in modern dining.
AURA members can take advantage of an exclusive 15% off the Dynamite Menu, because if there is one thing better than tasting the original, it is tasting it for a little less.
The Dynamite Menu is available for a limited time only at P.F. Chang’s restaurants across the UAE and KSA. In the UAE, guests can visit P.F. Chang’s in Abu Dhabi at Abu Dhabi Mall, Galleria Al Maryah Island & Yas Mall, and across Dubai at Festival City Mall, City Centre Mirdif, Jumeirah Beach Residence, The Dubai Mall, and Mall of the Emirates. In Saudi Arabia, diners can experience the menu at Ajdan Walk in Al Khobar, Sidra Mall, Riyadh Park in Riyadh, and Le Mall in Jeddah.
