On the east coast of Sharjah, the Lux* Al Jabal Resort in Khor Fakkan is a nature-surrounded resort set on a hillside overlooking Soueifa beach.

Facing a picturesque bay and nestled within dramatic gorges, the resort is being designed to complement its natural environment on the slopes of Al Soueifa mountain.

Due to open in March 2023, this hotel has a big eco-conscious focus. Each of the 45 cube-shaped accommodation are being constructed from a special type of Finnish pine that comes from the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, a global initiative that promotes the responsible sourcing of wood.

Guests checking in to this coastal retreat can choose to stay in a one or two-bedroom suite, 15 of which will also have their own private pool.

The largest and most luxurious accommodation will be the secluded Royal Suite, which also has its own swimming pool. Rooms are all located on the sloping beachfront, giving guests easy access to the ocean.

There is also an infinity swimming pool with in-water loungers for guests to make the most of the sunshine and children can enjoy hanging out in a Play Zone.

The resort's restaurant and clubhouse will be set higher up on the hillside to make the most of what's sure to be amazing sunset and sunrise views over the mountains. And to make the most of the unique location with mountains on one side and ocean on the other, there will be plenty of activities for guests to enjoy including watersports and walking routes.
