On the Red Sea in Aqaba, Al Manara brings together a waterfront setting, pale stone architecture and interiors influenced by Jordanian and Levantine design. The hotel is arranged around elegant public spaces, resort pools and access to the sea, with a calm palette that suits the bright coastal setting. Dining ranges from relaxed all-day venues to regional cooking, while the spa, beach and marina surroundings give the property a resort feel without losing its connection to Aqaba’s historic trading-port character and nearby desert landscapes.
