Nestled at the tranquil end of a long stretch of hotels along the stunning Al Aqah Beach in Fujairah, this laid-back family resort offers breathtaking views of the endless ocean and the majestic Hajar Mountain Range.

The large kids’ club caters to all ages, featuring areas for gaming and soft-play rooms for younger guests, with dynamic staff offering engaging crafts and activities.
One of the resort’s standout features is its cat sanctuary adjacent to the kids' club, where staff lovingly care for several kittens, providing veterinary checks, vaccinations, and neutering before they are released on the property. In a region where stray animals often face hardship, the Fujairah Rotana’s commitment to animal welfare is both heartwarming and commendable.
