Hemmed in by the blue waters of the Indian Ocean and the jagged peaks of the Hajar Mountains, Fujairah is worlds apart from its UAE siblings on the west coast. This expanse of mountainous coastline has welcomed Address Beach Resort Fujairah, the highly-anticipated east coast debut for homegrown brand, Address Hotels + Resorts.
Spread out along a stretch of Al Aqah waterfront an hour’s drive from Fujairah city centre, the resort features 196 guestrooms and suites, as well as 10 exclusive privately-owned villas and 170 serviced apartments spread across four residential buildings, all rendered in pale, natural hues so as to minimise impact on the landscape.
As well as hiking or biking along mountain trails and beaches, savouring indulgent treatments in The Spa or snorkelling in the warm waters offshore, guests can experience a slice of local life with a visit to nearby Dibba Bay Oyster Farm, where they'll learn how these delicious molluscs are farmed before sampling the freshest oysters plucked straight from the sea.
Back at the hotel, a beachfront seafood grill further celebrates the fruits of the ocean with freshly-caught fare, while The Restaurant offers international flavours throughout the day and the intimate Lounge serves up sophisticated afternoon tea in the lobby.
