Updated: Jul 2



In the realm of real estate, every unveiling marks a significant milestone, offering a glimpse into the future—whether it be a new destination, an investment opportunity, or the introduction of a new kind of living. Recently, Almal Real Estate Development, in partnership with Palladium Hotel Group, has lifted the curtains to reveal their latest project—The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residences. This venture heralds a new era of luxury, leisure, and entertainment, poised to become the next prime destination in the MENA region. From its unique and exclusive experiences to its artistic and cutting-edge architectural design, the launch event was a celebration of magnificence, innovation, and the art of urban sophistication.

Setting the Stage:

Hosted in the prestigious Mandarin Oriental Jumeirah, the venue exuded an aura of elegance and grandeur, perfectly reflecting the essence of The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residences. Guests were greeted with meticulously crafted experiences from the moment they entered the venue, welcomed by the lively tunes of DJ Sonya, one of Dubai’s most sought-after DJs. The entrance, adorned in a manner reminiscent of Ibiza, guided attendees on a journey through the reception area, adorned with dimmed crimson lights and hummingbirds, perfectly encapsulating the theme of the project.

The event was attended by various brokerage companies in the UAE, media companies, influencers, as well as partners of Almal Real Estate Development and Palladium Hotel Group.

The Unveiling:

As the lights dimmed, all eyes turned to the main stage, where Kris Fade, the master of ceremonies, signaled the beginning of the event. Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Al Marjan, and Palladium Hotel Group’s Jesus Sombrino (CEO) and Abel Matutes (President) introduced The Unexpected Hotels and Residences’ brand to the audience. Subsequently, the project’s main architect, DAR’s director Mahdi Abu Aisheh, and Almal Real Estate Development’s head of project development, Mohammed Khader, provided insights into how the concept of Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residences came to life.

The highlight of the evening came with the unveiling of the project, accompanied by the reveal of renders projected on the ballroom’s screens, filling the air with anticipation. Guests stepped into a world of unparalleled luxury and lively social scenes—a reminiscent experience of Ibiza, now brought to the shores of Al Marjan Island.

Embracing the Unexpected:

What sets this project apart amidst the developments on Al Marjan Island? The answer lies in its inherent promise of unpredictability—each visit offering a fresh, unparalleled experience. Moreover, its proximity to the upcoming integrated gaming resort, Wynn Resorts, adds to its flair. The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residences seamlessly blend natural beauty with contemporary design, offering an immersive experience inspired by the ocean's tranquility and energy. From meticulous landscape design to strategic framing, every detail reflects the dynamic harmony of nature. At our hotel, guests embark on a journey guided by the rhythm of the sea, leaving with timeless memories.

The launch event was followed by an After Party just like how they do it in Ibiza - the ballroom was filled with lively festive music lead by DJ Walter Scalzone combined with his bespoke water drum performance.
