It’s rare for a luxury resort to counter rising travel costs with genuine value, but on a sun-soaked Saturday, families arriving at Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island may as well be stepping into a welcome surprise: kids under 12 can stay, dine, and play for free. In a hospitality market where family perks often come with hidden catches, this oasis in Ras Al Khaimah manages to quietly set itself apart. For families looking to balance fun and finances, this is an offer as inviting as the resort’s golden shoreline.
Where other destinations add surcharges for every extra smile or splash, Mövenpick focuses on generosity. At Mövenpick, chocolate isn’t just a dessert—it’s a daily celebration of joy, generosity, and sweet family moments.
While many destinations charge extra for every little smile or splash, Mövenpick takes a different approach. Here, simple pleasures are lavishly included. And nothing captures that spirit better than the beloved Mövenpick Chocolate Hour, a tradition that unfolds every single day across the resort.
Imagine stepping into a scene straight out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but this time, the magic is real, and it’s made for everyone. As the clock strikes the chocolate hour, the aroma of rich cocoa fills the air, and guests are drawn to a decadent display that would make even Willy Wonka blush.
From handcrafted truffles and velvety mousses to fudgy brownies, chocolate-dipped fruits, and flaky pastries dusted with cocoa, there’s something for every chocolate lover, big or small. The centerpiece? A cascading fountain of molten chocolate, ready to coat your favorite bites in a silky, indulgent layer, be it a slice of cake, a marshmallow, or a freshly baked waffle.
It’s not just about the sweets. It’s about the smiles, the shared giggles as little hands reach for another treat, and the unspoken joy of a moment thoughtfully designed not with price tags in mind but with family memories at heart.
In a world where fine print often overshadows the fine moments, Mövenpick chooses to lead with generosity, warmth, and a sprinkle of cocoa-dusted magic, every single day.
Vacationing with children is often seen as a logistical marathon, yet Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island has reimagined the family getaway, transforming it from a test of patience into a joyful, memory-making escape.
