Majid Al Futtaim has announced a partnership with Sunset Hospitality Group to operate Maravelle, a wellness and lifestyle destination within Ghaf Woods, the developer’s forest-living community in Dubai.
Maravelle will sit at the heart of the Ghaf Woods site, which is landscaped with more than 35,000 trees. The destination is intended to bring together fitness, recovery, spa, nutrition and food and beverage in a single setting, connected to the community’s forest trail network. It will be open to Ghaf Woods residents as well as a broader membership community.
“This partnership reflects our ambition to elevate wellness from an amenity to a way of life. Maravelle is an important part of our vision for Ghaf Woods, adding a dedicated wellness and lifestyle offering to the wider destination. Ghaf Woods reflects our approach to creating communities where nature, wellbeing and thoughtfully considered amenities come together to shape how people live and spend their time. By partnering with Sunset Hospitality Group, we are bringing the specialist operational expertise required to deliver Maravelle to a high standard and raise the bar for what wellness can mean within the communities of tomorrow,” Ahmed Elshamy, Chief Executive Officer – Development at Majid Al Futtaim said in a statement.
“Wellness has always meant more to us than a business line. It is an integral part of the future of lifestyle, and it is about designing a world that changes how people feel the moment they step into it. Ghaf Woods gave us something rare: a community built around nature from the ground up, and the chance to create in Maravelle a wellness experience that belongs entirely to its setting. Working with Majid Al Futtaim on a destination this thoughtfully conceived is exactly the kind of partnership that pushes Sunset’s wellness ambitions forward,” Antonio Gonzalez, Chairman and Group CEO of Sunset Hospitality Group added.
Sunset Hospitality Group, which operates more than 100 destinations globally across hospitality, wellness and lifestyle concepts, will manage the venue’s operations. Majid Al Futtaim retains the wider development and destination vision for Ghaf Woods, which also encompasses a residential offering, retail and Ghaf Woods Mall.
