Minor Hotel Group is adding two properties to its pipeline in United Arab Emirates, the Anantara Jebel Dhanna and the Avani Jebel Dhanna in Abu Dhabi, both of which are scheduled to open in 2018.
Owned by Dhabi Contracting, the neighbouring properties are being developed along the under-developed coastal area of the Al Gharbia region in Abu Dhabi, with a royal palace bordering the new hotels.
Aecom has been appointed as the lead architecture and interior design consultant for the project.
The Anantara Jebel Dhanna Villas will have a total of 60 villas in one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, and will include two restaurants, a pool bar, gym, swimming pool and an Anantara Spa.
The company also has a new Anantara resort under development in Ras Al Khaimah and a second Anantara resort will open in Dubai in 2018.
