Minor Hotels has signed Avani+ Fujairah Resort in the UAE, which is set to open in 2028. This new property will be the first Avani resort in Fujairah and marks the brand’s debut in the emirate.
The development strengthens Minor Hotels’ presence in the UAE and supports its commitment to expanding the Avani portfolio in key leisure destinations across the region.
Developed in partnership with Al Fahim, a family-owned UAE conglomerate and long-time partner of Minor Hotels, this project builds on their successful relationship, following the opening of Avani+ Palm View Dubai Hotel & Suites. Al Fahim’s hospitality investment arm, Emirates Property Investment Company (EPICO), continues to drive growth in the UAE’s hospitality and real estate sectors.
Located along Fujairah’s eastern coastline on the Gulf of Oman, Avani+ Fujairah Resort will feature 232 guestrooms and 16 villas, ranging from three to five bedrooms. Designed for both families and couples, selected accommodation options will include private pools and direct lagoon access, features unique to the region’s hospitality landscape.
The resort will offer a range of dining and leisure facilities, including a spa, rooftop grill restaurant, poolside bar and restaurant, all-day dining venue, and The Pantry, Avani’s signature grab-and-go concept. Additional amenities will include a fitness centre, a swimming pool, and dedicated facilities for children and teens, including a splash pool and club space. The resort will also provide MICE facilities, including meeting rooms and banquet spaces.
William Heinecke, chairman and founder of Minor International, commented: “The signing of Avani+ Fujairah Resort is a key step in our continued growth across the Middle East reflecting the rising strength of the Avani brand. We’re pleased to expand our valued partnership with Al Fahim Group and bring new energy to one of the UAE’s most exciting destinations.”
Ahmed Abdul Jalil Al Fahim, chairman of Al Fahim, added: “With Fujairah’s natural beauty and growing tourism profile, the resort is well placed to be a standout addition to our portfolio.”
