Majid Al Futtaim Partners with Sunset Hospitality Group to Launch Maravelle at Ghaf Woods
Majid Al Futtaim has partnered with Sunset Hospitality Group (SHG) to launch Maravelle, a flagship wellness and lifestyle destination within Ghaf Woods, Dubai’s nature-led residential community featuring more than 35,000 trees.
The development will bring together fitness, recovery, spa treatments, nutrition and curated food and beverage experiences, adding a dedicated wellness offering to Ghaf Woods’ wider mix of residential, retail, leisure and hospitality facilities.
Majid Al Futtaim will lead the development of Ghaf Woods and oversee the overall destination vision, while Sunset Hospitality Group will operate Maravelle, drawing on its experience across hospitality, wellness, fitness and lifestyle concepts.
Maravelle to Combine Fitness, Recovery and Hospitality
Located at the heart of Ghaf Woods, Maravelle is designed to offer residents, members and visitors a dedicated environment for wellbeing, social interaction and discovery.
Its offering will span fitness, recovery, spa services, nutrition and hospitality, with experiences designed to connect with the community’s forest trails and natural surroundings.
The destination will also welcome a curated membership community beyond Ghaf Woods’ residential population, broadening access to its wellness and lifestyle programme.
Partnership Strengthens Ghaf Woods’ Lifestyle Offering
Maravelle forms part of Majid Al Futtaim’s broader vision for Ghaf Woods, which combines residential living with retail, hospitality and leisure destinations, including Ghaf Woods Mall.
The community is being developed around its forest landscape, with an emphasis on integrating nature, wellbeing and everyday amenities into a connected living environment.
Ahmed Elshamy, Chief Executive Officer – Development at Majid Al Futtaim, said the partnership reflects the company’s ambition to make wellness an integral part of everyday life rather than simply an additional amenity.
“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,” Elshamy said.
He added that Sunset Hospitality Group would bring the specialist operational expertise needed to deliver Maravelle and strengthen the overall destination experience.
Sunset Hospitality Group Brings Global Experience
Sunset Hospitality Group, which operates a global portfolio of more than 100 destinations, will bring its expertise in hospitality, fitness, wellness and lifestyle operations to the project.
Antonio Gonzalez, Chairman and Group CEO of Sunset Hospitality Group, said the natural setting of Ghaf Woods presented an opportunity to create a wellness experience closely connected to its surroundings.
He described wellness as an increasingly important part of the future of lifestyle and said the partnership would support the group’s ambitions in the sector.
Ghaf Woods Expands Its Nature-Led Community Concept
The introduction of Maravelle adds another dimension to Ghaf Woods as Majid Al Futtaim continues developing the community’s wider residential and lifestyle proposition.
By combining forest surroundings with wellness, hospitality, retail and leisure, the destination aims to offer an integrated environment for residents and visitors.
The partnership also reflects a broader approach to residential development in which lifestyle services and wellness facilities form part of the overall community experience.
