Minor Hotels has signed a deal for the Avani+ Fujairah Resort in the United Arab Emirates. The resort, slated to open in 2028, marks the debut of the Avani brand in Fujairah and represents its first resort in the UAE. This expansion is a significant step in Minor Hotels’ continued growth and strengthens its footprint in the Middle East, reflecting the growing appeal of the Avani brand in key leisure destinations.
