Countdown is underway for the opening this autumn of a new deluxe resort at Jebel Dhanna, 240km west of Abu Dhabi city, the first move in the development of the area as a major tourism destination. 

 

The 109-room five-star Danat Resort Jebel Dhanna is owned and operated by Danat Hotels & Resorts, a division of National Corporation of Tourism & Hotels (NCT&H).  

 

The launch of the new resort – the first 5-Star deluxe hotel on the undeveloped west coast of the UAE - marks a new phase in its development with the addition of the upscale property.  

 

According to general manager Manoj Kanwal, the resort will offer its guests the chance to experience the more preserved parts of the UAE. He said: “Everybody is looking for the chance to discover something different, whether they are UAE residents looking for a weekend getaway, or visitors and tour operators from further afield.  

 

“We are confident that our product offering is something that stands out from the rest of the crowd.” 

 

The resort also offers top-of-the-range facilities to attract sectors such as the conference and incentive markets to the west coast for the first time. 

 

He said: “Thanks to its location and extensive banqueting and meeting facilities, Danat Resort Jebel Dhanna is an excellent solution for team-building, company retreats and corporate guests. We can cater for up to 1,000 people at events like this, making it one of the most comprehensive corporate offerings in the UAE marketplace. 

 

For leisure guests, Danat Resort Jebel Dhanna, has a Body and Soul spa and health centre, where dedicated therapists are on hand to offer a full range of aromatherapy treatments, massages and the latest hot stone treatments through to physical relaxation and beauty facials. (Menareport.com)
